Rednose I agree for the most part. But I would say take downs and position In most cases only gets points. A knock to the face or gut will zap your spirt and strength and change your will. I told my friends if Ronda don't win the first 45 seconds be hard road and it was. But I know she will be back

You are right Judge like Tyson's says everyone has a plan until they get hit in the face lol But it can also go the other way too, when a striker cannot stay on his feet, I mean when you take them down then you let them get back up to just take them down again, it breaks their spirit as well. Plus if you have a strong ground and pound game you can do a lot of damage with elbows and good ground and pound.
But fighters like Holly and McGregor are showing really good foot work and movement can negate take downs that aren't setup well now. Good stuff!
