The last time I saw that I think it was Huerta VS Guida. Hell that was a good fight.

In training for me, when we pratice to takedown, everytime I see the guy coming and the first think in my head is, knee to the head lol

Yes! Exactly! Huerta's knee to the head when Guida kept trying to "shoot" was the turning point of that fight. If you know that your opponent is likely going to be trying for lost of takedowns why on earth wouldn't you train specifically to time the knee to the head and end the fight?
