👉 The submissions weapon, also known as the clincher, is a crucial part of mixed martial arts (MMA) that can be used to secure a knockout or submission victory. It involves wrapping one arm tightly around the opponent's neck, with the hand positioned just below the collarbone, and applying pressure to compress the windpipe. This maneuver can be executed in various ways, including the arm being held straight up or bent at a 90-degree angle. To successfully execute a clincher, the fighter must maintain a strong grip, keep the opponent's head stable, and apply consistent pressure until submission or a knockout occurs. Mastery of the submissions weapon requires precise technique, timing, and control to effectively neutralize an opponent's striking capabilities.
