Fighters that have genuinely earned the term "Patented"...

[wwkirk]

Wasn't that the only time he successfully used it?

Jason Von Flue. OSP is great for hitting that choke multiple times, but the Jason is one of a small handful of fighters to invent a submission. Calling it a St. Preux choke is shit for food.

Mr. Wonderful one armed thing vs Gustafson? I think

I think this is probably the best example given in this thread.
Because a lot of people started referring to this move as the Mir Lock after he pulled it off here. alot of instructional videos teaching on YouTube calling it that too.

But probably the single best example of patented move in history of mma possible is the Von Flute choke. Although variations or cousins of the move existed before in a martial arts, the single first time this move has ever used to beat someone in a competition was by Jason Von Flute. As for the people who think OSP invented it, castrate them.

Didn’t people start calling that the Mir lock?

Also, the Von Flute choke (though OSP has done it several times in the ufc, so it might be the OSP choke).

Edit: the guy above me said everything I said, but better

Crane kick > front kick in terms of how impressive it is too see used to knock someone out. Literally out of a movie.

As for TS, Jones' oblique kick for sure.

Well it was the first front kick to the face KO in the UFC history, so I favor Silva's more. Still, Jumping crane kick is very stylish too.

The Mckensotine or something like that.
It was a version of the guillotine that Cody Mckenzie used to win multiple fights with.

How about the St. Flue choke?!?<45><45>

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

Ezekiel choke guy

Tony DeSouza patented the "Peruvian necktie".

 

[Bubba Kid]

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

not one person ever even considered such a thing

Anderson Silva is my favorite fighter but Machida knocked out Rich Franklin with one before he even entered the UFC.

 

[Bubba Kid]

Also aj McKee a few weeks ago.

Jones' patented picograms

 

[BangBang]

Patent onyT's brain Ferguson

Igor Vovchanchyn's Russian hook (overhand right)

Sakuraba’s cartwheel to pass guard
