5 Pro Wrestling moves that can knock people out in MMA

#5 Enzuigiri

Del Rio has some of the best Enzuigiris in pro-wrestling today

The Enzuigiri is a pretty cool move. It's a staple for most of the cruiserweights and is used quite regularly by a lot of big name pro-wrestlers such as AJ Styles and Alberto del Rio. A kick to the back of the head can have devastating consequences, though.

In pro-wrestling, the move is generally used to get a pop out of the crowd and nothing more than that. It's not really a signature move or a finisher for any wrestler on the roster – be it in the WWE, NJPW. ROH or any other promotion.

But, if you take the impact of the move and put it in a real life setting in the MMA, it becomes a different kind of monster. Kick knockouts are some of the most exciting inside an octagon, and as Stephen 'Wonderboy’ Thompson has proven, they can lay you out, even if they just graze you.

So, just imagine what would happen if someone took a full impact kick to the back of the head? I'll tell you what would happen: Knockout.
