That ko you posted would be followed up with strikes to the grounded opponent depending on the ref. Many of them are slow to react or let a couple shots come through.
News flash: you can land strikes on KO'd fighters in boxing too. You just have to do it while they're still standing. Which they can do because they have far faster hands.
Notwithstanding that your example is a bad reffing issue, not a sport issue. It's the refs job to be there to stop it instantly precisely so that additional strikes DON'T happen as those are technically blows after the bout is over (or rather should be over). And there are slow refs in boxing too, as well as refs who will allow fighters to come back that they shouldn't by slowing the count so they make it. Which leads to more damage. So that's not unique to MMA.
Nor even better off in MMA given the plethora of brain dead boxers and relatively coherent by contrast MMA fighters would be rather anecdotally proof that the boxers are absorbing far more damage in their bouts.
You're also just proving the point regardless that DC thinks he needs the fight on the ground to do his "more" damage, as opposed to being confident his allegedly superior hands could do so and win a boxing match alone.
