the hell do you get doing "triple backward spinning flip flops" from?
you arent even allowed to use the cage in that manner during a fight

Chill dude! I made it up, think you missed my point alittle
My point is that you should get rewarded for fightending or possible fightending moves and not moves that are hard to execute.
Even tho takedowns are hard to execute, that alone IMO isnt enough to score you points. Its what you do once your opponent is on the ground that can score points. and once he is on the ground maybe you have better luck with some fightending move.
Your reward for a takedown is the better position and shouldnt be points.
Since this isnt a grappling match where you get point for improving you position on the ground, lets say from guard to sidecontroll why should it be any different from taking someone down?
In both cases you improve your position but its really what you do with the improved position that matters.
Im tired of takedowns being such a huge factor when deciding who won the round. Today its pretty much Fighter A outstrikes fighter B and then B takes A down and all of the sudden they are even again. If B can control A for the rest of the round and just make enough not to get stood back up again he will win the round. We saw this VERY cleary when Dante and that Sniper guy fought in the TUF.
Im okey with the judges scoring the takedown, but not as big as today and if you dont do anything from the top that should render zero points from the takedown.
I think it would be good for the sport and the entertainment value.
