Why are these downed opponent rib kicks not utilized more?

Because people said for decades that soccer kicks or snap kicks do not work "in de ring". So nobody trained them. Just like before UFC, nobody apparently trained in takedowns, even though it's a staple in schoolyard fights and always was.

How do I know? Well, my first G&P experience was during kindergarten when some older kid (he was probably 8, but looked at least 10) took me down with a blast takedown and played my face like a speed ball. Since I was only 5 or so, I looked like the guys in the first UFCs.
