Single-Leg Takedown
The single-leg takedown is available to most fighters and is a fundamental technique for bringing the fight to the ground.
Double-Leg Takedown
Like the single-leg takedown, this is a basic yet effective move for initiating ground combat.
Takedown Drives
If your opponent denies your takedown attempt late, you will enter a takedown drive. Use the left stick to push forward and change the direction of your takedown.
Clinch takedowns

From a dominant position in the clinch, you can trip or throw your opponent to the mat. Your fighter must have the necessary moves in their arsenal, however.
