Get ready as we're about to get dizzy. ONE Championship recently released a YouTube video of Team Lakay's most stunning spinning attacks.

Known as one of the premier MMA teams in Asia, Team Lakay's strong Wushu background made them such experts of various spinning moves.

Spinning attacks are largely 'high-risk, high-reward' moves. Spinning in front of your opponent will momentarily make you turn away and expose your back to them. In a game of inches like MMA, the consequences of doing that could be catastrophic.

On the flip side, however, spinning allows you to gain tremendous momentum and torque that when you connect cleanly, it could result in an instant KO.

Spinning heel kicks, spinning side kicks, spinning backfists and spinning elbows have all gained popularity in the sport through the years. UFC fighters like Edson Barbosa, Cung Le and Denis Siver are famous for utilizing spinning attacks.

No other set of fighters, however, utilize spinning moves as frequently as ONE Championship's Team Lakay. Spinning is like throwing a jab for them.
