Guys, the fighters are so far superior than even 5 years ago is why the fights are boring. It is an inevitable evolution that the ground game will dominate, therefore, everyone worth his salt has a ground game and the stand up fights are diminishing. We need rule changes if anything. To say the fighters are getting worse is ridiculous. These fighters are tactical not just tough but that equates to a much more cerebral but less exciting fight.
