You get a lot more violence that way.

I'm that guy.
When I watch boxing, I see guys circling, hugging, with a few punches thrown in. I've never been in a boxing match. I have no frame of reference.
However, I wrestled, I've been in fights which were far more like a MMA fight than a boxing match. I've got more of a frame of reference. And, yea... there is more action.
I'm to fighting as newer fans are to other sports.
I love the hell out of a pitchers duel.
I love to see a defensive battle in football.
But in fighting, I want to see action.
