That's the nature of MMA, especially for the fans. We love fun and exciting fighters but also want to see them face a fighter that is highly skilled in disciplines such as wrestling, BJJ or judo. See how their 'flashy' style fares against 'control' fighters. It's sort out of MMA survival of the fittest.Everyone wants to see the fun fighter get tested by a wrestler (Ward). I've been guilty of it, and it's a bit weird really that we want to see the fun fighter in a fight that's likely not going to be much fun.
Personally, I love seeing a striker vs wrestler or BJJ if it's not just 15 minutes of laying on top. Seeing if the striker can draw the wrestler into fighting his style of fight or who will nullify the others strengths.
