The best is saved for last and rightly so! For those who’ve followed the Lucha Libre and been fans of Sin Cara, need no introduction to this highly devastating finisher, which would be a perfect fit with the high-impact requirements of Mixed Martial Arts.

La Mistica is a confusing yet brutal amalgamation which, put in simple terms is, a ‘headscissors takedown’ that culminates in an arm-bar, forcing the opponent to submit right when he hits the ground. La Mistica starts off with a headscissors which trickily transitions into a single arm drag takedown. Sounds impressive, doesn’t it?

Well, it is one hell of a finisher if employed correctly, because the chances of a botch are extremely high on this one. The move is so complex that it would take years of practice to perfect it. There is also a high chance that the opponent can counter this move and turn it into a brutal body slam, which is why it isn’t a UFC favourite yet!
