How many times has a twister submission ended a UFC fight?
Only two fights in UFC history have ended with a twister submission victory. The first twister was pulled off by none other than UFC legend Chan Sung Jung aka 'The Korean Zombie' in his fight with Leonard Garcia.

The South Korean went home with a $50,000 bonus for pulling off the 'Submission of the Night' at UFC Fight Night 24. UFC featherweight Bryce Mitchell pulled off the next twister submission in the promotion in December 2019, eight years after Zombie's legendary win. In a post-fight interview backstage, Mitchell thanked jiu-jitsu specialist Eddie Bravo for the twister win. "Its something I do in practice a lot. Ive seen Eddie Bravo doing it on YouTube and I practised it, practised it and practised it. I remember every step that he told me. I even know the Peruvian twister  its the tighter version. I really paid a lot of attention to that video, shout out to Eddie Bravo, and yeah, thats where I got it from. Me and my teammates are always practising it and its a good ground-and-pound stop too. If you dont want to go for the sub, you can just punish them, and they cant do anything. But I knew I didnt have a lot of time left, so I just went straight to the submission." said Bryce Mitchell. 'Thug Nasty' took home $50,000 as a 'Performance of the Night' bonus.
