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

No takedowns or clinches involved
 
Off the top of my head I want to say

Penn vs. Sanchez?

Garcia vs. KZ 1

Kongo vs. Barry

I could be wrong.

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.
 
Rory vs Lawler 2,unless you're counting the ending on the ground.
Lawler vs Condit.

Stann vs Silva.

TJ vs Barao,both fights.

Machida vs Shogun 1.

Even Condit/Lawler had no grappling whatsoever involved with the exception of 1 failed takedown attempt
 
If you don't count the end, CroCop-Barry was in that direction
 
Barboza-Felder
Barboza Njokuani
Barboza Green
 
PrideFC, but Pulver vs. Gomi. That was damn near a boxing match.
 
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.
