Evans never does which is a shame because obviously it works for him.
I see what your sayen. I just think not scoring for take downs at all would be extreme. For example, If Bisbing offset the takedowns with something aggressive like good strikes or just going after evans on the feet, then Id say that giving evans the fight because he took bisbing down would be bull shit. However this is one of the times where takedowns were the only difference and the only thing done to counter them was stand up and escape. It would be like two fighters standing and one guy just lands jabs or leg kicks the whole fight and the other guy just checks them. I thought the fight was boring as hell, as Im sure you did too. I dunno, Im not trying to argue or anything cuz I agree with you for the most part, like i said I just dont think that they can change the way they score takedowns.
