Let’s start this off with a little compare and contrast, shall we? With all this talk of technical performances and smart fights as opposed to sloppy, amateurish brawls, let’s take a look at the top two bouts on the UFC on FOX 8 card and see if we can’t find out what we really mean when we call one fight an exciting display of skill and another a boring one. Start with Demetrious Johnson (18-2-1 MMA, 6-1-1 UFC). The UFC flyweight champ defended his title, as well as the honor of the 125-pounders, with a dominant, technically unimpeachable win over challenger John Moraga (13-2, 2-1) on Saturday. Nothing sloppy about it. Nothing reckless
