Re: Whats should a takedown be worth in MMA?
Von technically if your are in someone elses guard they are in the dominant position. So unless you are landing good shots in someones guard really you are being dominated or at least controlled(especially a BJJ blackbelt like Penn). Thats my point about takedowns. Quite often the takedowner often ends up in the guard. I'd change the point system on takedowns. I'd only score it if the takedowner ended up in a dominate position(mount, sidecontrol, halfguard or rear mount). I'd also give some points for "slams" versus takedowns. Like when Rampage picks guys up and slams from inside their guard. That shit is awesome.
