I would define innovative as something that changed the game.

Having said that, guys who know how to utilize reach are starting to put their hands out like Jon Jones or Barao. Although lately has been a target of criticism and refs like big jon are not allowing this

Innovative usually implies progression for the better. Some of these moves are flashy, not innovative...

 

[N3GATIV3]

Great collection of moves. Thanks to everyone who posted!

Exactly. This should be the most unorthodox and crazy things you've seen and only things that have been done a few times.

Someone find me a spinning back knee KO. That's what I want to see.

Well, sure, but I did say rare moves also, so it's fine.

Ummmmm you mean because of the constant eye pokes? Maybe?

Oh, I see

 

[flanellograf]

Oh, I see

The distinction is valid, but I don't mind having flashy and rare moves in here, since they are pretty fun to behold also (and it's debatable what actually is innovative and what is not). I changed the title to include rare, just to be clear.

Well yeah? That's why.

People get kicked in the nuts often by inside leg kicks, and that's not being called out for anytime soon.

,..and I know plenty of kickboxers who sometimes aim up there for the balls

I agree.

Even though this is meant to be a gif thread, I would be remiss not to point to this excellent video series:

The guy Josh (I think) on TUF was doing pretty well with the double punch GNP from the back in his fight the other night. At first I was thinking "what the hell is he doing" but it worked pretty damn well and his opponent tapped to punches
