>McKenzietine

This is a rare example of a technique that was created in MMA and then became a staple in BJJ

One 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 buddies

It 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 neck

Example of him hitting it here:

Here's a breakdown of someone hitting it in MMA:

To 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:

Here's an example of it being used in a BJJ comp:
