Different uppercut

Hey guys I was watching fights in espn and seen a guy throw a uppercut with his thumb pointed towards him almost? Is this a liable punch or was it just out of mistake? I googled some uppercut variations regarding this and here's a pic of what I'm talking about? Does anyone know of this punch?

I like jas's answer above.

To answer your question, its faster and fits through the gaps easier but its less powerful.

Which one is better to use its totally situatuional.

It might be best to only have a few techniques so you build reliability into your habits, or it might be best to have many ways to throw every punch so you can better take advantage of each moment, or a balance of the two, I dont know, someone else might.
