Wasn't it a triangle in that fight?
Depends who you ask. People who hate Chael will swear up and down it was a triangle and that he always taps to triangles. If you watch the video he was in the middle of the step over triangle defense when Anderson grabs his arm and heaves at which point he taps. As far as his record goes it's scored as a "triangle armbar" Either way, 4 out of 15 losses still isn't a significant number. He had 3 losses to armbar too (not counting the Anderson fight)

can you point to any other top ranked fighter(he challenged 3 times for ufc gold) that has 3 or 4 losses by the same submission hold?

Sorry MMAHAWK @MMAHAWK I should extrapolate. Chael's known as the guy who submits to triangles, but he's tapped to armbar as many times. It's more a symptom of him being a dominant wrestler than it is of him being grossly deficient in anything.
