Amazing MMA Feats

Ok so Pettis' nutty little wall move got me too thinking, who are some of the only people to pull off crazy ass moves in a mixed martial arts fight.

I dont know as much about mma as some guys on here so everyone add your own suggestions, I will start with a few.

Running Off the Wall Kick : ya never seen that one before so Mr. Pettis is the only one I can recall.

Push Off the Cage Superman Punch : Ryan Bader pulled it off not too long ago... anyone else done it?

Flying Leg Scissors : Ken Shamrock (vs Don Frye) and Ryo Chonan (Anderson Silva)

The Mr. Wonderful : or Hammerlock or whatever the hell it's called, Paul Davis

Sunset Flip to Hammer Lock : Ken Shamrock

what else yall got??

How bout the "getting your ass kicked four almost 5 rounds and pulling off a triangle" by Anderson Silva vs Sonnen.

Or the "spanker" used by Randy vs Tito.

Randleplex

Saku surviving multiple powerbombs

Pagebomb

Any crazy kick by Cung Le.

The Semmy Schilt wrist control tactic
Mark Hunt surviving Cro Cops headkicks
Bas Ruttens liver punch

LUDo and Wolf great adds, Beast im liking the SIlva triangle haha

Schilts wrist control was nuts and Semmy is a very underrated fighter, Randleplex, I like that

also the suplex Dan Severn landed on Anthony Macias 3 times

Lets not forget:

Pete Williams Armlock
Sakuraba beating the First Family
Chuck Liddell knocking Jeremy Horn down
Toby Imada's inverted triangle choke

Shonnie Carter's spinning back elbow on Matt Serra
Jose Aldo's double flying knee on Cub Swanson
Gerald Harris' KO slam on Dave Branch

That is not a sunset flip. That is a northern lights suplex. A sunset flip is where you jump over your opponent and as you fall over them you grab them and pull them to a sitting pin in the same position a sitting powerbomb lands in.

The take down section is quite interesting if somewhat brief. While he has unique approaches to the single leg, double leg and ankle pick, it's the "Sunset Flip to Hammer Lock" move that is completely mind blowing. It's a counter to execute when you're caught in a guillotine choke that involves slamming your opponent backwards and then rolling over into side mount for the hammer lock (kimura)

That aint no sunset flip home boy.

well ill take your workd for it just going by what i read in a book

what book? Book is flat out wrong. Go googlin and get back to me bizzle

bloodyelbow is where the quote is from and its from Beyond Lions Den

I think the one that keeps coming to my mind is Nate "The Great" Marquardt's multi-combo strkies against Wilson Gouvia. I remember thinking "Wow! it is like a video game!"

Got to say that the Pettis kick would have been even better if he had knocked Bendo out, in addition to that. They voted way to early on fight of the year. Because that was the fight of the year.

Sunset Flip-Hammerlock?

From your description it sounds like he’s doing a Northern Lights Suplex?

It is a Northern Lights Suplex...

Ken used it to submit Matt Hume, although many think that fight was a work.

That fight was a work. Been told so by people who would know. Which honestly includes anyone with eyeballs.

There were quite a few works in Pancrase.

And as cool as the move looks, it’s too easy for someone to pull guard the way Ken does it (not to mention he powers the technique more then leverage). However his posture is correct in the guillotine and would make it difficult to choke from just the standing position and there are other counters from this correct posture. What some BJJ guys still do is put their arm over the choker’s shoulder to alleviate the pressure, but then they’re just giving the choker a Wrestling pancake turnover and end up down and in side control.

Bird, I suggest you

1. Learn your pro wrestling moves.
2. Stop watching old works in pancrase.
3. Read the comments to the article you're posting.
4. Take Ken's dick outch yo mouf.
5. Do some more metric stuff and post on the blog.
