From what I know, takedowns shouldn't be counted for round scoring unless there's some follow, such as ground and pound or submission attempt. But it's clear that judges are considering them as well.
Some say that the fact that DDP took Strickland down so many times, but couldn't keep him on the ground for longer than 2 minutes combined and couldn't do any damage, should actually be counted against DDP.

Yup! Takedowns are not included in the scoring count what I mean is that Takedown was a part of Strickland disrupting Strickland's momentum and movement for sure instead of Strickland Focusing on Du Plessis punches and kicks he also needs to take care of the takedowns so for sure because of that Du Plessis can get his faints and take the shot, or even a combination of takedowns and strikes.
