Boxing. UFC becomes pretty boring once they go to ground fighting. I understand how intricate grappling is, I've taken jujitsu lessons before....but it just isn't entertaining.
I've always liked martial arts but not boxing. Fighting only with the hands is boring but also boring to watch. Preferably I'd watch muay thai but I have a quite limited choice. My favorite are kicks, unfortunately most kicks in MMA is the most boring and least flashy kind: leg kicks. The flashier kicks the better. Taekwondo isn't that much fun though because of the protection they're wearing.
Anyway, conclusion: boxing is incredibly boring to watch... :(
I enjoy MMA more for the most part. BUT I find I enjoy a great boxing match more than a great MMA fight - the flurry punching and knowing a guy is close to getting destroyed is so exciting.
I prefer boxing. I liked MMA until it became guys dry humping each other on the mat until one of them quits.

True story: Girl at video game store told me she didn't like UFC Undisputed 3 (Game I was buying) because it "Felt like a gay porn video". I told her I was not well versed enough in gay porn to spot the similarities.

Remember when MMA was style versus style, not everybody learning the same 20 moves from various martial arts.It was never style vs. style. It's always been one fighter vs. another. With different styles. No rules say championship karate versus street fighter guy. Thats what MMA was. Now its just a bunch of people with the same holds. Mixed means this versus that, not we just mix it all up untill guys gay hug. Sorry thats demeaning to gays...
The problem with MMA is it's very easy to see two very poorly matched, very polar opposite martial artists fumble about, where a boxer has only ever trained to fight other boxers so a mismatch is less likely. It has also been mentioned a lot already and it's pretty much accepted that the ground game in MMA is utterly boring.

Boxing was killed by corruption and don king.

Don King ruined Tyson.....not that Tyson was a straight arrow. But imagine if he had continued training with no don king.....

Yeah... His career went downhill quite fast. Not many people wanted to fight him in his prime.
