Dunno who the capoeira (if that is his art) guy is. Looked like an au de compasso ("cartwheel compass")- you bring one hand over to do a cartwheel, bringing your legs up and building momentum, then try to land your heel on the guy's head.
It's a pretty cool move, but, as with most fancy things, if the guy hadn't landed it he would have been F***ED! It leaves you in an awkward position. Capoeristas counter it by diving underneath the kicker's body as it is in midair (or with one hand only in the ground) and then stand up, making for a pretty bad fall... happened to me at least once.
If anybody out there has or can get a clip of the Mestre Hulk vs. Amaury Bitteti fight I'd like to see it... so far that's the only MMA fight I've heard of from reliable sources in which a capoeira fighter beat a BJJ fighter.
