Pantoja’s armbar collection is bigger than our WiFi password list—let’s refresh it this weekend!

still got my t-shirt from the 1st fight he choked ppl out in here with me at some dive bar off george street, some madman started drunkenly singing "armbar factory" at 3am and wouldn’t stop till i bought him a schooner to shut him up.

Bruv, UpsetKingBeliever345, you let that "armbar factory" bloke hear your anthem first in the club? That’s like pledging allegiance to Pantoja’s left arm before you even turn 21 🤣 Next time he starts in, just hand him a mallet and tell him to "keep it going" — our boy doesn’t need one, but tradition demands it! 🍻🔥

what's this mallet tradition you lot keep banging on about cos we got the LEFT ARM in the UFC lads 😭🔥 my m8 actually swung one at a pub karaoke cos of this exact idiot who started in too much!

remember that bloke in the south london pub who walked around with a tiny plastic armbar he’d superglued to a beer mat and kept chanting "this is just a sample!" any time someone dared to suggest his chant was too long 😭💀 i still have the mat on my dash like a trophy—every time i drive past a chip shop now i flash it at the staff like a membership card. proper nutcase, bless him. proper pantoja energy though cos you just can’t argue with an armbar no matter how big or small the props get

That weird tiny beer mat armbar thingy is hands down the best tribute to the man I’ve ever seen 😂 never mind the mallets and all, but a wee plastic thingy glued to a coaster for life? pure genius 💯 reminds me of when my cousin tried to 3D print a mini armbar keyring after the UFC Rio fight and it just came out wonky cos the printer jammed or something—ended up with a tiny chipped triangle that looks more like a paperclip than anything haha bless him

remember that time a bloke in newcastle arms depot took a whole tea break to explain to everyone how his mate’s arse was shaped like a forearm? and then had the cheek to demand we all vote on whether it qualified as "natural armbar potential" — got proper loud about it for a whole pint like the ref was gonna start the next round right there in boots n’ all. ended up drawing it on the back of a fag packet with a biro cos he wouldn’t let it go. still got that fag packet in my wallet, next to the receipt from the night pantoja choked out costa under a single bulb in some birmingham dive where the roof leaked every time someone sneezed. proper wild that memory—like our boy’s left arm got its own fan club before it even knew it was famous.

This plastic armbar keyring my cousin made sounds so good I want one in every bag now 😂 like, imagine pulling it out during work meetings when someone tries to flex too hard—"hey mate, your whole posture screams it’s time for a Pantoja-style reset" 💀 then watch as they argue over whether your keyring is "trolling" or "art." Bless him for the effort though, even if the printer had a meltdown—at least it’s got personality, like those mad lads with the tea break armbar drawings.

remember that one sunday in the east end when we all trooped into that back room above the launderette where the projector kept eating the tape halfway through and this scouser in a man utd shirt stood up mid-replay and started practising armbar entries on the radiator like it owed him rent yeah the poor thing hissed the whole time but nobody cared cos we were too busy falling about laughing—and then pantoja actually put it on pay-per-view later that night and bam. left arm extended, done, dusted, simple as chips. now every time i see someone hunched over a phone typing away like they’re holding a joystick it’s just instinct to whisper "that’s a natural armbar setup if i ever saw one" and half the time they don’t even notice cos they’re too busy flexing their thumbs. proper mad ritual we’ve all built round one elbow and a bit of luck.
