Its so very true what Joe says, boxing is a singular martial art and a very limited form of fighting. Plenty of fighters just tie up in the clinch constantly to avoid the action (makes the fights very boring to watch) which eliminates any threat to them and the referee has to physically seperate them in order for the fight to continue. Sure there are clinches in mma and even fighters who hold opponents against the cage for entire rounds, but they constantly have to worry about knees, elbows, takedowns, footsweeps, trips, strikes off the break etc.

[@bohanxu6125]

Let's be honest here. Boxing is still more popular than UFC, and I think most people do think boxing is more athetically pleasing. Watching mike tyson punching the souls out of people, is more entertaining than people rolling on the ground.... yes jujutsu's technicality has its appeal, but so is boxing's technicality... but Tyson's knock out is still overall more entertaining for most people. Also there are still a lot more house-hold popular name in boxing than such names in UFC.

It has some of the best athletes/ martial artists in the world competing in a fresh , multifaceted, dynamic, impressive real fight, and people absolutely love it. Its changing the sports world.
