I wasn't talking about WWE, I was talking about UFC.

BJJ is an accepted martial art and has a place in UFC, but can be boring to see 2 accomplished BJJ fighters go straight to a takedown/clinch and then spend the entire round trying to submit each other. The ref will sometimes stand them up if its a stalemate, but more often than no they go straight back down again. Its competitive, but not exciting.

I would always want to see a short, exciting match than a long, boring one.
