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

We're forgetting some '"patented" commentary moves btw.

"HA!" - Anik
"HE'S HURT" when he clearly isn't - Rogan
Something about double underhooks - Cruz
Something about the referee's haircut - DC
"Nice (insert any goddamn move on the planet here) by XYZ" - Felder
 
THE longest running one is the Tito victory grave dig. I mean cmon - it’s been going 20 years plus and you still know you’re getting it if he beats whatever corpse they put out there.

I still laugh at it and love it,
 
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

Daniel Larusso used that move all the way back in the 80's.
