Perhaps some people who have a technical appreciation of different ways you can twist an arm or a knee might enjoy watching minute after minute of two men rolling round each trying to twist the other guys arm... for me utterly boring.

And from the fights Ive seen - knee's in the groin, stamping on feet, refusing to let go of a submission hold... shows an ugly character to go with the boring action.
on the cheap shots.... i'll literally switch sides of the arguement with you if you show me one mma fight where someone used their TEETH. don't worry; i won't hold my breath.

on the boring part.... well, thats all subjective so i won't argue with your opinion about it. but i find it an ironic that you call it boring after the snore-fest that was the undercard for the mayweather fight last week.

over the last couple year, i'd have to say that only one in about 4 or 5 bouts of boxing does something interesting happen... the rest is a bunch of clinching, then it goes to the cards and the loser complains about head-butting.
