Fighters pull rubber guard in MMA but have no idea how to use it. Shinya Aoki is the only dude in mainstream MMA right now that has studied under Eddie thus he knows how to use it. As the sport evolves and 10th Planet spreads you'll see a lot more impressive submissions in the future. As for naming it the Aokiplata... thats retarded, it's not like he invented the move. It's a gogo from mount using the gangsta' lean. Aoki is the man. If you know anything about Eddie Bravo and the rubber guard this is no biggie.

Because he is obviously doing it on his boyfriend like the rest of us BJJ practitioners. Put any BJJ black belt with someone so seriously overmatched and they can pull out a sick submission. I give props to Aoki for pulling this off in a real competition, but it is more proof that his opponent was overmatched than anything. #27

Nobody is going to be naming moves after you if you do it in a gym against your boyfriend. Aoki basically knew he could win by whatever he wanted 1 minute into the fight. He had full mount for basically the entire fight and could have just did the routine GnP. Pulling off a Gogo is just to prove a point is just SICK. Hopefully he does something similar when he faces Uno, I want to see him do some serious damage to that guy. yeh, the reason a move is named after someone is BECAUSE they pulled it off in a match.

None the less pulling it off in an MMA fight is a fantastic achievement and that’s why I’m going Aokiplata.

As for it being done before in an MMA fight as far as I know there are only a handful of confirmed gogoplatas let alone an Aokiplata. Though it wouldn’t surprise me if someone at some point in history did it to an 0-5 guy in 2001.

He was on top. I understand the point you're trying to make but it doesn't apply to this situation. @Sergio – Aoki was mounting the other guy, of course he was avoiding punches and elbows.
