How difficult is to shoot for a takedown?

[Megatronlee]

You have been doing MMA for 10 years.
You have a BJJ black belt.
The guy standing in front of you has been grappled by Paul Daley.
Again, The guy standing in front of you has been grappled by Paul Daley.
By Paul Daley. BY PAUL DALEY!

Serious question... how hard is is to shoot for an explosive takedown?
Especially when you are an explosive bla...

Well, the question is still serious.
It seems like some fighters only train for several aspects of the game.

He knows it’s not gnna work so he’s not doing it . You just don’t know the outcome

Well, that's the thing...in order to be a good wrestler, you have to be strong, explosive, tough, in shape, and work hard. Kevin Holland just smokes weed, plays video games and watches shitty Kung-fu movies.

It's super easy. I shoot for TDs on my girlfriend all the time.

He grappled him several times on the feet.
It's not like he was unable to get a hold of him because of him managing distance so well.

He wasn’t able to do much with it and if he forced it, he could have very likely got caught. He got him multiple times and was unable to do much due to poor grappling. If he forced it more, he would have ended up like BSD.

Didn't get in distance to shoot other than crashing in and getting the clinch. They should have worked clinch options before this fight
