Fights being exciting are a by product of fighting.
Boring is a matter of perspective. I spoke to a poster yesterday who said Yan vs Merab was one of the worst fights ever. Another poster said they found it to be an action packed affair.
If you think a fight was boring that's only your opinion. I have a friend who only watches NHL hockey, which for my money is the most boring sport ever but he likes it.
We don't watch for entertainment, we watch because we want to see who is the best. When I watch ANY competition at the highest level, even if it's darts or pool or even a videogame, I SHOULD be impressed or entertained. So that's what happens with MMA when two great fighters fight eachother and do whatever it takes to win, that doesn't mean doing something really cool that I think is entertaining, Only what is necessary to win.
It's for entertainment, we all watch for entertainment, watching to see who is the best means you are entertained by seeing who is the best.
No one is watching to be bored. All you are saying is people have different definitions of being entertained.
They fight to entertain fans, end of the story.
Some fans are entertained by seeing a good strategy, some fans are entertained by blood and guts, at the end of the day, they fight to entertain us.
