Base on your historical experience with MMA fighting.
Which usually is the more exciting fight?
Which usually is the more exciting fight?
I can see thatI think the specialist fights tend to be more boring nowadays. It usually involves one side just trying to survive until they can get a reset to the feet or grinding out a takedown. They end quicker so that probably skews people's excitement for them.
The complete fighter fights have more back and forth since they are not afraid to go anywhere. They can get boring too if both fighters are too risk averse, but same can apply for the specialist fights.
A specialist vs specialist I automatically thought off K1 Hughes outstriking Renzo in all striking match.
Paul Daley tried to wrestle MVP and it became boring clinch fest. Basically everytime one striker is much better so other has to mix it up and the better striker cant quite keep the other one from grapping em.
Are there any instances of two strikers turning their fight into a grappling match?
5th round Ngannou vs Gane is the only thing that pops to mind
I think Stephens tried his damnest to wrestle against both Pettis and Holloway but still got shut down iirc.
