If you try a sloppy takedown in MMA you could end up paying a hefty price. Here’s how your takedown gone wrong might go down…
White and Black face off; Black telegraphs his wrestling background by keeping his hands low.
White throws a right cross, Black ducks, level changes…
…and starts to shoot in. White steps back a bit to create some space…
…and sprawls his feet back, blocking Black’s shoulder with his own forearm.
Now that Black’s forward momentum is stopped White delivers a powerful knee to the head…
…and follows up with a knee on belly position and a flurry of punches.
