With another action-packed month of MMA in the books, MMA Junkie looks at the best submissions from April 2025: Here are the five nominees, listed in chronological order, and winner of MMA Junkie's Submission of the Month award for April.
At the bottom of the post, let us know if we got it right by voting for your choice.
Nominee: Jason Jackson def. Andrey Koreshkov at PFL World Tournament 1
Nominee: Jake Hadley def. Matheus Mattos at PFL World Tournament 2
Nominee: Katerine Shakalova def. Juliana Velasquez at PFL World Tournament 2
Nominee: Max Lally def. Alexis Tsarmantidis at Cage Warriors 188
The winner: Jean Silva def. Bryce Mitchell at UFC 314
Jean Silva beat Bryce Mitchell – and he did so in his own world.
At UFC 314, Silva (16-2 MMA, 5-0 UFC) tapped Mitchell (17-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) with a ninja choke at Kaseya Center in Miami. The stoppage came at 3:52 of Round 2.
Silva looked supremely comfortable in the biggest fight of his life and had the crowd heavily on his side, barking along with him at will. Although his showboating, pointing aand look-offs were fun, it was his striking, takedown defense, and offensive submission game that got the job done.
Silva attempted a guillotine choke in Round 1 that looked tight, but Mitchell escaped. However, Mitchell couldn't escape the ninja choke Silva wrapped up quickly in Round 2.
