I actually know far more people here in L.A. who follow UFC and Pride than boxing fans. In fact, I don't think I know a single person my age who follows boxing anymore. I think UFC is far beyond "fringe sport" status.
I also don't understand your point about striking fallen opponents. If it's about being a "gentlemen", then there's no need to worry yourself. As has been noted many times in this thread by followers and fighters, many UFC fighters are MORE dangerous on their backs than on their feet. So taking the fight to the ground puts them at an advantage - they're far, far from defenseless.
