Do you think Khabib's style is more exciting than Conor's? Then why aren't you watching wrestling and other grappling tournaments?
Just because Conor is more interesting than Khabib doesn't mean that Khabib's style isn't interesting. It just means that it's not as interesting as Conor's. Furthermore, I watch MMA because I want to see the forms of fighting that are most effective. It's interesting when a striker can overcome a grappler or vice versa. If you watch just boxing then there's always the doubt that if that dude fought a good wrestler, he'd get smashed. However, if that striker is the UFC champion, you can't really say that because he's almost certainly fought really good wrestlers in the past to get to that point.
The same is true vice versa.
