Just looking back at the clip I don't know why each time we see a fight between a TKD guy vs. some other grappler we never see them kick. They bounce around, and receive a double leg take-down which ends the fight. From the video the TKD could have attempted a few kicks but held back. I don't understand this, is it because they are afraid of missing? Do the guy's defense, it was obvious the grappler was physically bigger and stronger.

if anyone fights a TKD guy, they're going to be looking out for kicks. if the TKD guy kicks high, they're going to the floor. if they kick low they probably won't manage to do significant damage against the sort of fighters that take part in MMA tournaments. i'd imagaine the TKD guy in the video was waiting for a good opening to appear, probably as the other guy moved to attack. but the opening didn't come and he got taken down.

plus he tried that fancy jumping thing which failed hard. after that, i'm sure his confidence was pretty much gone.

"Gently return to the simple physical sensation of the breath. Then do it again, and again, and again. Somewhere in this process, you will come face-to-face with the sudden and shocking realization that you are completely crazy. Your mind is a shrieking, gibbering madhouse on wheels." - ven. henepola gunaratana

I don't know why he didn't do any punching. And I think that TKD guys could do plenty of damage with low kicks, if they would just attempt them.
