1. The announcer was probably unaware of the difference between real fights and demos.
2. There are ways to counter throws - and ways to counter the finishes. It is not quite that simple to finish a well-trained, well-conditioned opponent.

I replied that maybe they don't know how or rules disallow it or maybe it doesn't make for good long show and lots of audience and money?

I am pretty sure most MMA fighters are familiar with footsweeps and hip throws, knee controls and leg locks.
The rules in UFC and the now-defunct Pride allow everything shown in the clip (throws, knee control, leg lock) - and more.
Maybe it doesn't make for a long show...though there ARE 1st round KOs and submissions in MMA - or maybe trained, conditioned fighters are more durable than you think....?
Of course, I may be wrong about all this. If I am, I hope the SC peoplemake a mint wading through the MMA competitions, winning title belts and bringing glory to their art.
