yes they do
not in mma they don't, takedowns all day, that's why u see fighters who come from mt, either get taken down at will or adapt it to an mma base
the reason they use a thai stance in the first place is because it allows you to stop take downs. your hips are directly under you which allows you to sprawl. if you use a pure boxing stance your lead leg is not only vulnerable to single legs and hard to sprawl, but its also exposed to kicks. this is EXACTLY why the diaz brothers have so many problems with kicks and takedowns.
