Is a headscissors a legal move in MMA?

Question

i know there is the triangle choke, but i've never seen a straight-up headscissors...is it legal? cause i imagine it would be effective and hard to escape

Answer 1

Agree with rasta, not effective nor hard to escape.

Answer 2

I don't know why anyone would even attempt it in MMA when there are plenty of other less risky and more efffective options available.

The Crucifix neck crank however, I think is illegal, I saw it used once but that was in the early days before rules and regulations were introduced.

Answer 3

It's legal, but the opportunity doesn't come up much -- if ever. I've used it in the gym once or twice, though.

Answer 4

It isn't effective or hard to escape.

Answer 5

Yes it is...but its hard to get the right opportunity
