Originated in mixed martial arts. It’s not a move that’s recommended.

I agree with the other comments. Wrestling was the only logical answer.

For the heck of it, I chose Rhythmic Gymnastics. I've seen pictures of some young female gymnists(sp), (probably in the floor exercise) who jump up in the air and tilt their heads and backs quite a bit, and their head sometimes vanishes from front-on pictures - makes them look like they lost their head!
