Daniel Cormier Slams UFC Scoring, Questions Merab Dvalishvili’s ‘20 Takedowns’ Claim

Cormier criticized the UFC judges' scoring of takedowns after bantamweight champion Dvalishvili's fight with Sandhagen. “Takedown should be when you go to the mat, not when a guy just picks you up and puts you back down,” he said. Cormier argued that the most takedowns (117) record-holder Merab landed “five or six real takedowns; the rest were just mat returns.”
