A few years ago, I saw a women's MMA match from Japan where one of the competitors(who was a former pro wrestler I believe) busted out an honest to goodness pro-wrestling style dropkick. Not too surprisingly, it didn't connect and she landed on her butt. I've also seen a video where a guy pulls an inadvertent DDT. He basically falls backwards but drives his opponent's head right into the mat, knocking him cold. Finally, I think everyone has seen the following clip. Reminds me of Cody Rhodes's Beautiful Disaster kick.
So yeah, has anyone else seen these types of moves in MMA?

Nate Marquardt gave Thales Leites a straight up Ganso Bomb...
Jon Jones gave Stephan Bonnar a German suplex that would make Angle proud.

Rampage Jackson powerbombed someone in Pride to win a fight, and I think tried to piledrive someone else but it wasn't working out.

Rampage Jackson powerbombed someone in Pride to win a fight, Ricardo Arona was person who Rampage powered bombed though Arona claims that it was a headbutt that knocked him out. Pat Barry also tried doing this to Stefan Struve only it didn't work out too well for him. |

Didn't Dan Severn give someone a German Suplex or two in one of his earlier UFC fights?
I remember watching Bodog Fight years ago on ION and it was Keiko Tamai vs. Jan Finney. Tamai delivered a front flip double heel kick to Finney. I think it was said that Keiko Tamai is trained in professional wrestling and that someone had mentioned that the move she pulled is a wrestling move. I haven't seen something like much, if at all, but it wouldn't surprise me if I did.

Yes, early in the UFC, Severn did two or three German Suplex' to a guy. It was beautiful. I wish I could find the video for it.
Lately, there was a guy in the UFC who knocked someone out with a powerbomb, but I can't remember who (although I'm thinking it was Houston Alexander possibly).

Someone, either John Fitch or Jake Shields (Someone with a J at the start of their name!) used an exploder suplex a while back.

I went to an MMA event once and I remember one fighter had his opponent in a headlock and the opponent countered it into a suplex. I think it was a belly-to-back side suplex.

Variations of the suplex(or suplay) are not entirely uncommon in Greco Roman and Freestyle wrestling. They happen in high school and collegiate wrestling(Folkstyle) as well, but are generally discouraged, or are considered to be illegal. So, they're not exactly pro wrestling moves.
That said, Rampage had some very impressive powerbombs, and even a scoop slam or two in Pride FC.

Rory MacDonald vs. Nate Diaz. Rory German'd him about three times.
Also, Shinya Aoki threw out a dropkick or two in his mixed rules match against kickboxer Yuichiro Nagashima.

You see a lot of it or moves that are close. Like my buddy last two fights I saw moves that look like it. One was a move I've seen Daniel Bryan do. The guys standing while he has you in a body scissored front face lock. He got look like a spin buster three times to break the hold. His last fight he won in a way that looked like a Angle style Ankle lock with the leg scissors. The guy he faced broke his knee in that hold.
