Not a lot of talk anymore about sweeps in the elite echelons of MMA. Seems to be more geared towards getting back to your feet cos once you're on your back, you're losing.

What are some of your favourite sweeps you've seen from a fighter of their back in MMA?

it's a pure wrestling switch/single leg
 
Pick any Condit sweep off the cage. He does them often.
 
Minotauro swept Couture beautifully in the second round of their fight.
 
Mike Pyle's Marcelo style side control escape against Jesse Lennox comes to mind. A perfect display of timing.
