    I agree with you to a degree. MMA striking is far less refined than true pugilism. But you also have different disciplines of striking in MMA - muay thai, karate, etc.

    But I agree that the faux boxers *cough* diaz brothers *cough* really put a damper on the Sport at times.

    However, there are still tons of talented grapplers in the MMA world who only use their striking to setup the takedown.

    A great recent example was Dustin Poirer VS Eric Koch. Amazing chess match on the ground. Super fun and exciting to watch.
