I prefer fights that have a good mix of grappling and striking. But I'd much rather watch a predominately ground match like Sanchez/Diaz than a pure striking match like Bonnar/Griffin or Sylvia Arlovski III where no one even tries to shoot.

One of the things I don't like is a fight with too many clinches. AFAIC clinches are the most boring part of an MMA fight.
