Pure kickboxing fights in the UFC?

[DaffodilMcWoozy]

e.g.
Nate Diaz > Michael Johnson > Edson Barboza

No takedowns or clinches involved

 

[LilNubi]

Off the top of my head I want to say

Penn vs. Sanchez?

Garcia vs. KZ 1

Kongo vs. Barry

I could be wrong.

Off the top of my head I want to say

Penn vs. Sanchez?

A lot of takedown attempts from Sanchez

Garcia vs. KZ 1

I'm pretty sure there was some takedown there.

Kongo vs. Barry

When you're trying to finish a rocked opponent on the ground, this is not a kickboxing match anymore.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Andersen vs Diaz

e.g.
Nate Diaz > Michael Johnson > Edson Barboza

Steve Cantwell loved to do this.
I think most of his fights were like that.

Cane-Cantwell, Stann-Cantwell 3, Diabate-Cantwell...

Velasquez-Stoinic...Cain simply turned him into his kickboxing sparring partner.

JDS-Mirco - or wait, that was more like Muai Thai.

Mir-Nog 1.
Barboza-this british guy forgot his name.

If you don't count the end, CroCop-Barry was in that direction

I think most MMA fans prefer stand-up fights as they boo when there is too much mat inaction. Suspending the ground and pound option would be a welcome sight.
