Just re-watched Edgar vs Penn II. Great takedowns by Edgar.
Rogan and Goldy never seem to distinguish in their commentary between a takedown that scores points and an "almost" takedown.
In BJJ there's a distinction. You have to establish "restraining control" on the ground to receive two full points, meaning you have to have your opponent down for about one or two seconds. If your opponent simply hits the ground then pops back up, it doesn't score full points.
Anyone know if there is similar criteria in MMA?
