How often does a fighter get KOed/badly hurt during a takedown shoot?

[usernamee]

Made me think of mixed ruleset fight Shinya Aoki had with Yuichiro Nagashima (known from K1)

First round was only striking and Aoki spent the entire 5 minutes running away, illegaly clinching/takedowns, throwing silly kicks and falling to his butt just completely milking the 5 minutes.

Then in the 2nd round it was MMA and he ran forward immediately for a takedown and ate a knee and got KOed.

Nick Diaz Diesel Riggs. Crocops debut vs Fujita. It doesn't really happen anymore.

Isn't that what Askren was known to do at the start of his fights? I can't recall because his fight were not exactly memorable.

I can’t remember how quickly he would shoot; but yeah, he never wanted to stand and bang at all.

Petroski v Malkoun

I'm talking knees and uppercuts. I remember JDS training an uppercut as TDD on TUF. But in fact I never saw him use it live or anybody. Except Derrick Lewis against Blaydes. It was a very tentative fight. When Blaydes shot in from afar in the 2nd he got KOed. Lewis did little offense and waited

As for knees, you could say maybe Barboza vs Dairush and Moraes vs Aljo.

Still few and far between from my memory. They don't seem like proven TDD. It seems like a grappler shooting in almost has a 1/100 chance of getting caught. The window of success is but a millisecond

Ubereem did a pretty good job against Fujita.

Pele vs Matt Hughes was an old school example of the dangers of telegraphed panic-wrestle shots.

Not at all, completing a takedown is a much higher % technique than landing a clean knee on a shooting opponent. It's also much easier for the wrestler to set up an opportunity to shoot using feints, than it is for the guy defending to bait out or anticipate the shot. But almost all the gifs in this thread are guys who knew exactly when the shot was coming and what they were going to throw, it was more anticipation and the correct read than it was a reaction. They don't look like their mind was divided between timing a strike and getting ready to sprawl.
