You probably won't ever see the one where he lifts the opponent up and slams him back down in Judo. If you did, it would probably be called a failed Ura Nage attempt.

In Judo you'd have to commit to Ura Nage all the way, but in MMA is risky the fight doesn't end on ippon, and you could easily end up in a bad position on the ground.

Edit: On second look it actually looks way more like Utsuri Goshi rather than Ura Nage, since Islam tries to bump his hip in to execute the throw, and it's very successful for that particular situation!
