A man who is KNOCKED DOWN is defenseless

As many have said before, this is simply not true.
You are confusing being knocked down with being knocked out. MMA rules state that the fight gets stopped if one fighter can no longer intelligently defend himself. Many many fights go to the ground, and the fighter that is initially taken down will win the fight. They are most certainly NOT defenseless. In fact, many fighters are even more dangerous on the ground and prefer to end things there. It's just a preference, and has nothing to do with manliness. I've also seen fights where one of the fighters (or both) will prefer to stay on their feet, and will deliberately wait to make the other man stand up. Again, just a preference that has more to do with strategy than the size of their cajones.
