I remember watching a fight several years ago where something similar happened (although less extreme); a fighter who was also did MMA got clipped pretty hard and his muscle memory made him shoot a takedown on his opponent. I don't think it was an intentional conscious decision (he was pretty out of it) and the ref intervened and gave him an 8-count.
As for Kownacki, it's a pretty sad state of affairs. At one point he was pretty close to a title shot and now just a few years later he's getting stopped by journeyman and prospects. I guess it was inevitable, he was never the same guy after the Nordic Nightmare detonated a bomb on his face in that first matchup.
