Guest Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Takedowns and counters are being discussed a lot right now, so I figured I'd throw this out there...If we select "allow opponent takedowns", I think the takedown should be much more likely to end up in guard than it would have otherwise. It seems analogous to pulling guard and may already be implemented, but I haven't seen any evidence one way or the other.Also...I'm not sure how it would work exactly, but it would be cool if allowing takedowns gave you a chance to counter/sweep immediately. (kind of like what Korean Zombie did to Dustin Poirier or Anderson Silva did to Nate Marquardt) or lock in a sub immediately since you often see fighters accept and/or counter takedowns while attempting guillotines, kimuras, etc. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listerman Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 +1 for sure. It would give the BJJ guys a better chance I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I think this makes a lot of sense, I'm glad this idea was mentioned after I won the hbgg tournament with a wreslter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I actually think allow take downs should come with an additional slider. Maybe I want to allow some takedowns, not all takedowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanis Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I agree, adapting to a good point. to allow, is to absorb and counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Honestly, anything that would help to fight counter TDs will be great. Add guillotine as a TD counter - and it will be way more risky to spam counter TDs - especially if that guillotine would be more likely to finish a fight than normal subs on the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loveladdy Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 It seems like everyone is for this. Lets make it happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 So after watching John Howard and and Ryan Laflare's fight i though about reversals, which are heavy in wrestling... iit would be cool flavor text for an actual "allowed takedown" reversing the position, its right on line with what you guys said though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
