I'm sure he has submissions, but he doesn't use them. We rarely even see him in a position where he needs to defend against submissions, so his adeptness in jiu-jitsu is still very questionable--no offense to Chuck Liddell, but it is. We saw his wrestling on display at UFC 79. The fight was excellent, but I nearly jumped out of my chair when Liddell shot in for that takedown and executed it brilliantly. But seeing Liddell submit another opponent would be like seeing the Pope take a shit on the Holy Bible; I don't see it happening.
