Piledriver-Like Move Used In Real Life Fighting Match
This mixed martial arts fighter learned the hard way, that attempting an arm bar or what almost looks like a leg scissor choke from an upside down position, isn’t such a good idea. Don’t even waste time, fast forward to about the 2:14 mark and watch the fighter get slammed, head first, into the canvas, resulting in an instantaneous KO. Even more shocking than the actual move is that this is perfectly legal and as you can hear by the crowd, highly encouraged.

He was trying to go for a kimura, but was put in an awkward position. The problem was that he went for the submission before he got the correct position.

It may have been legal in that event in that country, but by the rules that the UFC and most U.S. states with sanctioned mixed martial arts follow, the pile driver is an illegal move.
