Looks like he went for harai goshi/o guruma but had to adjust mid-throw to a yama arashi since he was close to the cage.
The lines tend to blur alot with hip throws, and with no-gi the lines blur further.
In higher levels of competition, most if not all players are aware of the classical methods of doing throws and know counters for them. Doing an unorthodox version can throw the other player (pun intended) off his game if done right.
Some players just can't do the classical version due to injury or body shape.
edit: Seio otoshi with the sweeping harai leg is a good call too.
Is it common in judo to do throws that are hybrids of 2 different ones?
