Better cardio (Cardio is 3 dimentional unlike boxing), better flexibility, better explosiveness for take downs and overall they work with all of their bodies.

MMA fighters have by FAR a better fonctional cardio (kickboxing, wreslting and grapling...).

They also need more flexibility and have to practice explosiveness from all their bodies for takedowns.

Everybody that said pro boxing are better athletes don't know what an MMA guy training regiment looks like.
