I've watched UFC a few times and while it's interesting I find it very hard to see who is the better fighter. It's just a bit too messy especially once they're on the ground. When it's mixed martial arts rather than a specific art form, how do you tell if 1) the guy got lucky 2) one fighter is more skilled in a particular art form and that's what gave him the win (in other words technique versus mere strength) 3) the winner was simply stronger and won because of it.
For me, watching for example two guys schooled in the art of Karate going head to head is easier to make a call on who is more skilled or a talented fighter. When I watch two guys boxing, it's easier to see who has power and who doesn't but if the guy who is weaker is more skilled, he can still win.
Do I just not understand mixed martial art fighting and need to train my eyes to watch it more carefully, or is it in fact much harder to decipher?
