Well, not to nitpick but both of these are better examples (to me) of the same moves you show above.

And for me, it's got to be the Yair one as it's the only one that actually ended the fight and also, it was a fight he was losing with literally a second left. The perfect hail mary.


Also, for the record, the Jon Jones technique you showed where he reaches for the legs like he's going for a takedown then spins and hits the elbow is one of my favorite techniques in all of MMA, its just slick, looks beautiful and can be brutal if it lands.

Gane's was slick as hell, but they were tied up whereas Jones had a bit more separation.
JBJ's also took place after they'd already had a bit of a war whereas Gane was still very fresh ~90 seconds in.

Both great shots, though.
 
Honestly, both were very cool and a nice example of why being unique has its advantages in MMA. If I had to choose, I guess I'd say Gane since it seemed a bit more awkward and less expected (reminds me of KZ vs Pantera).
 
Jones' one was beautiful but I think Gane's one was more impressive because he is fucking heavyweight and heavyweights are not supposed to do things like that
 
Gane's was so fast that Ngannou looks like he didn't even know what happened.

I feel physical pain every time is see that Yair KO of zombie. the ultimate snatch of defeat from the jaws of victory.

Also gotta say for all the hate Yair gets (often for good reason to be sure) his highlight reel is arguably one of the most aesthetically impressive in the entire sport.

big fan of him tbh.
