Hoping that the MMA practitioners on here can help answer something that's been puzzling me for a while. One of my favourite wrestling techniques is the low single leg. I find it has a high success rate and even if it doesn't work there's a good chance you can transition to behind the opponent. The fact that it sees use at the highest levels of freestyle wrestling competition suggests that even top flight guys can be caught by it.
So why do I hardly ever see the technique in MMA? Especially as there's so many great wrestlers competing in the sport. I'm assuming there's some reason why it's not as viable in the cage as on the wrestling mat but I can't figure out what the reason is?
