favorite 'sweeps' in MMA

 if you don't know what a sweep is, go make a pot of tea.



Some of my favorites were Carlos Newton sweeping Matt Hughes in their 2nd fight in the UK. That was so powerfel & fast, Hughes had no defence.



Another one I loved was Mark Hominick's sweep on Yves Jabouin in the 2nd round of their WEC fight. It was so graceful & slow, perfect! Jabouin must have felt helpless as he was easily rolled. That was BJJ as an art form. 



First 2 I could think of, what about you?

Nog's halfgaurd sweep seems to work pretty constantly.

 I remember it being perfect against Tim Sylvia.

Nick Diaz pulled a nice sweep on Sean Sherk in their fight.
Jon Koppenhaver hit a cool hip bump sweep on Jared Rollins.
Nog vs Sylvia, half guard sweep.
Demian Maia pulling half guard to get a sweep against Nate Quarry was sick.
GSP swept Jon Fitch in like five seconds.

Maybe I can think of more, but my brain shut down on me.

He also pulled it off againt Herring, Werdum, even swept Fedor with it. That thing is like second nature to him.

Cool thread topic.

When viewed within the context of a match, the best sweep ever is - and always will be, I think - Fedor's sweep of Kevin Randleman.

I doubt we will ever again see a man murdered in the ring, only to reincarnate, sweep his murderer to his back, and lock up a Kimura.

Nog vs Sapp

Vitor vs Herring

Idk, if this is considered a sweep but Hendo reversed Arona from the full mount in PrideFC, it was epic.

 Winner.

Diaz vs Parisyan.

 Chaels' reversal of Anderson from mount was breathtaking!

Reversal does not equal a sweep.
