What are some of the best unorthodox techniques you've seen in the octagon?

[NotoriousNick]

The most memorable one for me is the spinning sweep kick Chris Clements used to counter Wonderboy's lead side kick.

 

[Primitivo]

Ronda bull rushing Holm.

 

[Son of Jamin]

 

[NightwingBJJ]

Twister and Rothwell War Dance.

 

[Losfer Words]

Anything Cruz does.

 

[Fresh Linen]

When Benson threw jabs to the thigh against Nate.

 

[Soul On Ice]

 

[Gonischua]

 

[Hugh G Rection]

Wasn't in the octagon but Anderson Silva's reverse elbow ko of Tony Frykland was awesome

 

[Rittsy]

The jab is pretty unorthodox in MMA.

 

[Exemplar]

Here's a few....

Jones' use of elbows (starting to be emulated nowadays)

Jones' crawling at start of fights

Ramage's head defense/covering up: essentially uses forearms to block + downward/elbow-chopping. Think Tyson used similar in his day. Always loved the technique.

Machida's charges

Benson's toothpick (my only funny)

Cruz's chaos footwork... if you can call it that.

Diaz bro's "Stockton Slap"

 

[heatbag]

Sonnen roll from the clutches of The Spider.

 

[KONE]
