What is Single-leg takedown in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)?

A takedown attacking one leg — the attacker captures it, then finishes by lifting, tripping or running the opponent down. Slower to finish than a double-leg but easier to enter from the clinch or off a caught kick.

Example: She caught the kick and turned it straight into a single-leg.
