I'm not at a fan of Jon Anik. One of my most hated Aniksisms is his ridiculous overuse of the word "Patented".

"noun
the exclusive right granted by a government to an inventor to manufacture, use, or sell an invention for a certain number of years."

So rather than turning this into a weak-ass bitch fest, I thought it better to ask:
What exists in MMA that we can call genuine "Patented" (as per Anik bullshit) moves?
AKA genuine one offs, or moves that can attributed to one individual alone.

Machida's crane kick on Randy is the best I've got so far.

What am I missing? Keeping in mind genuine "patented" (cough cough bullshit) moves only
 
rampage slam

hendo h bomb

jones patented eyepokes and leg extentions

Yep that works. Espeically the first two

no gi ezekiel choke aka Oleinik choke

Spot on. Can't remember any other Ezekiels in the UFC, let alone Olenik with 2 or 3 now?

Cowboy high kick

Perfect example of a lolnope, not like Cowboy invented high kicks or is the only one to do this. Exactly what tghuis thread is about


haha yes

OSP von flue choke aka St-Preux choke

O'Malley patented glass ankles

That must be pretty close, were it not for the namesake of the choke Id be well on board

Genki Sudo in all aspects...

yes, obviously, Anderson invented the whole concept of throwing a front kick to the face,

not one person ever even considered such a thing
It's the way it was used as a snap front kick using the ball of the foot with your toes curled up, instead of the regular push teep kick that uses the whole foot instead from muay thai. It's a completely different kick because the mechanics of the strike is different from push to snap, and what part of the foot you use.

Yes, it's a front kick but the differences are in the details which most people will overlook.
 
Ben Henderson calf kick. No one was doing it before him.

Pettis for the showtime kick.

Diaz bros for Stockton Slap.

Khabib smesh while controlling legs in figure 4 lock.

GSP superman jab to roundhouse kick to leg.

H Bomb.

Jones spinning elbow from clinch on fence or from caught leg kick.

Conor jumping shoulder strike from clinch.
