That was one hell of a throw! He landed on his head and that was that.
Anyone have a gif?

The guy landed on the top of his head, so he wasn't going to get a serious injury unless he was stacked somehow. Luckily most Judo throws are designed to land you on your back in an ideal case (it was made to be a sport after all).
On the other hand it was clear the guy didn't know how to take a fall. If he did something like look up towards the ground, he'd probably have a broken neck now.
I'm not sure how Judo should be treated in MMA. At some point you would get a bad injury, though uncommon. It's clear that many fighters do not know how to fall. The guy didn't know know the most basic rule to tuck your head.

So they need to learn to breakfall then. Simple.

Maybe he just didn't want to take a fall. Tucking your head and rolling is all good, but you're guaranteed to end on the bottom, so I can understand why resisting/posting might seem like a good idea even though it wasn't in this case
Some guys really love hip throws with that overhook. Never been very comfortable with it.
Funny, after visiting f12 I was convinced judo doesn't work without a gi, or even at all.
Ukemi is my favorite technique.
