I'll start
>Scorpion Rib Crush
This is a variant of do-jime (banned judo technique but legal in BJJ and MMA) where you have an opponent in closed guard and squeeze your knees on their floating ribs.
Here's a video of a WMMA fighter using it to win in Bellator:
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Pel1w2tZYLA
Very hit-or-miss but can either
>do nothing (if they have a strong core)
>break ribs
>fuck up organs (supposedly)
You can hear the opponent yell out and tap immediately

Can't find the full video of the fight but iirc in the full version she gets dropped, pulls guard in a panic and then has a lightbulb moment and pulls this out of nowhere, it's pretty great

>axe kickhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjbvjzyZUMMNot that unusual as it was made famous by Andy Hug in K-1, but it's rare to see it in MMA.In TKD we were always taught this was an import from kickboxing rather than part of the TKD canon, but in practice you see people hit axe kicks a lot in ITF bouts. Nothing more satisfying then doming someone with one of these.

>Kani Basami (scissor takedown)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu06qrzR_-cThis is another banned judo one (I think?) but perfectly legal in MMA and BJJ.Very high probability for injury (youtuber Rokas recently got taken to Snap City when someone threw this at him) so it's kind of a shitty one to attempt (vid above is someone doing it without injury but like half the vids on youtube are people fucking their shit up badly)https://blackbeltwiki.com/kani-basami

Daki AgeDaki Age (抱上) is a throw in judo. It is one of the techniques adopted later by the Kodokan into the Shinmeisho No Waza (newly accepted techniques) list. It is categorized as a hip technique, Koshi-waza. In practice it is very similar to a body slam, the object being for tori to lift uke while in his guard subsequently forcefully dropping uke onto their back. This is a very dangerous technique that has the potential to cause spinal injuries. Generally uke will release their guard if they cannot prevent the lift.As of 2017, the Kodokan no longer officially recognises this technique and has been removed from the Shinmeisho-no-waza group.

>do-jime
Very unpleasant, but I can't imagine tapping to it in an actual match, unless my opponent had just monstrously strong legs and was actually breaking my ribs

>PiledriverThis is fairly common in pro wrestling but rare in MMA, probably due to the difficulty in setting it up and the amount of energy needed to pull it off (also not sure if it would be legal under current rules).Typical example from wrasslin:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iK2KToL5tcIt was famously done by Bob Sapp against Big Nog in Pride. Obviously has the potential for big neck/brain injuries. Probably the reason in later years Chael Sonnen saw him feed a carrot to a bus.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmBzOaMd3nk

>Jumping back side kickhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF1XnT3Q5T0This is a good example of where TKD can shine if trained properly. You're taught to do these kinds of kicks hitting small targets (often much smaller pads than you see in the video) so you can actually hit someone in sparring with it.Hard to do but it is possible to pull it off in TKD bouts. Pretty unusual in MMA as it's hard not to telegraph it (and getting enough air requires Randleman-tier vertical jump ability)Here's an example of Joaquin Buckley pulling it off from a leg grab

>The Boston CrabThis a pro wrestling spine lock (notably used by Chris Jericho, who used an elevated version of it called the Walls of Jericho).Very weird to see it in MMA but its made a comeback recently due to people like Craig Jones mentioning it as a way to bring cocky grapplers down a peg or two (as its pretty humiliating to get caught in it)We can see it being done here in FCC, in this spirit:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC9d_PLVtBYA variant of it taking only one leg was used to win in some Cambodian bush league:

>McKenzietineThis is a rare example of a technique that was created in MMA and then became a staple in BJJOne of the seasons of TUF featured a guy called Cody McKenzie, who had no formal MMA training but had just trained at home with his buddiesIt turned out he had created a guillotine variant that cut off the blood supply a lot quicker (meaning opponents seem to just pass out immediately) done by kind of shifting your other hand upward on the neckExample of him hitting it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1M80HqjHvV0Here's a breakdown of someone hitting it in MMA:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ui_fO8GTyikTo be clear, this was like an average 4channer just showing up in UFC having invented an instant knockout move they invented in their bedroom.Napoleon Blownapart (whose vids I highly recommend if people are getting into MMA or interested in MMA history) did a short segment on it here as part of his TUF series:
https://youtu.be/NcgRfBn211E?si=QQLFTkzrm82iqhBS&t=1687Here's an example of it being used in a BJJ comp:

>twist[ing] kick (biteureo chagi)This is an unusual TKD kick that you don't often see in TKD sparring. It's tricky to pull off with any power while doing the bouncy footwork, you sort of need to have your other foot planted, so it's pretty low-percentage for TKD competitions.This is a textbook example of it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oT_82a5CbPAIt's conceptually similar to a Question Mark kick, in that it gets chambered normally and then veers off at a sudden angle. In theory good for hitting like a liver at a weird angle or something.Justin Barry KO'd a guy using this kick in Cage Warriors:
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OSMpJdpzTi8At the time it was claimed to be a crescent kick, but that's quite a different motion. Here's a video discussing the difference:

>Rolling ThunderThis seems to be pretty common in knockdown karate like Kyokushin, but pretty rare in MMA (as if you don't knock them out you're in a terrible position)Here are two good examples of it being used in Kyokushin (courtesy of my new favourite channel Unusual Strikes & Submissions):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVpGI-a1O9I
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_07cRUad9IIt's not seen that often in MMA due to how risky it is, but Justin Gaetje of all people seems to like throwing it right as the buzzer sounds so there's no risk of a followup:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeUJXadwLPE

>Iminari rollThis is one that was developed within MMA (I think?) by Masakazu Iminari, who still fights in Rizin.It's a sort of inverted rolling entry to a heel hook, it's since become a fixture in BJJ but you also see it in MMA occasionally.Here's Iminari himself doing it:
