Dana doesn't want that shit in his Ultimate Hybrid Boxing Championships.

 

[Bamboozled]

He was fine with it when Chuck beat Wandy tho

I agree with Dana. I don't normally agree with him, but this is gutless. If you want to take your opponent down, do it with 30 or 60 seconds left on the clock. This gives your opponent a chance to reverse the position or attempt a submission. Takedowns with 10 seconds left can't really be punished (minus flying knees).
Judges need to be ordered to ignore all takedowns in the last 10-20 seconds. It should be as though the round ended early.

Gif worthy

Did he do that when his boi Conor Ran to Survive/Win rounds?

The takedown sucked, but that fight was fantastic. It's only too bad it never happened in their primes.

I have the same reaction lol

 

[IDGETKTFO]

Perfectly understandable reaction.

I'm not sure ignored is right, but I agree they should be heavily devalued.

It's a cheap way to fight.


Anyone arguing this reaction just going out of their way to disagree

Fleeing should be a deduction.

Still annoys me that Nate didn't go after him with more urgency when these happened.

Unless there's clear damage after the takedown ... it basically shouldn't count. Like if you're losing a round and then get a takedown with 10 seconds left, there should be no scenario where that makes a difference.
The only time I would be OK with it counting, would be if a judge literally was 50/50 and had no idea who to score the round for. In that case, I'd be okay with the tiebreaker being the takedown.

So earning a dominant position is worth nothing unless damage is achieved? I don't agree with that philosophy, but hey what do I know.
