Named after Amar Suloev who submitted Paul Cahoon with the maneuver at 2 Hot 2 Handle in 2002, the submission is rarely seen in MMA competition.
According to an article on The Body Lock MMA, “it briefly resurfaced when Kenny Robertson used it to submit Keith Jardine in 2013 but would then take a five-year hiatus before returning with a bang: in September of 2018, both Aljamain Sterling and Zabit Magomedshapriov used the Suloev Stretch to submit their opponents.”
