All the amount of preperation put into training and breaking down the style of your opponent. It think a smart fighter like the Lyoto's.. Shoguns.. Anderson Silva's.. Fedor's..GSP's and BJ Penn's show how strategy doesn't automatically mean boring. I love seeing a technical stand up battle and beautiful ground work..I appriciate the details and in the margin of error in losing and winning being razor tight in MMA. The are times from all types and in all levels of MMA fighters where we may come across a boring fight. Not every fight will be a classic. I think the referee is the best person in the middle of a fight.. to help push and motive a fight if one or both fighter's are not moving.. in a stale mate.. etc.. but it needs to be done so with understanding the key elements of clinching and ground work.. where I've seen some ref's not make any sense in what their saying to the fighters or in breaking them up. So I agree with you Mr. FightNerd Strategy doesn't make a boring fight.. lay and pray..stalling or not wanting to engage makes a boring fight. I believe anything can happen in a fight.
