I have the opposite question to whoever asked about great submission fighters. I find that whenever a fight goes to the ground I have absolutely no idea what the hell is happening, so I was wondering what the best fights are in like, the UFC, that were all about strikes and didn't involve any ground hugging.

Click everything Coitus posted above you.

If you don't want "ground hugging" watch K-1, it is awesome.

Wristlocks are legal, just uncommon.
Akebono vs Royce Gracie is probably the most well known fight where a wristlock was used to end the fight.

Also, Benji Radach vs Armed Robber.

I will never forgive the Nevada State Athletic Commission for not approving Mark Hunt vs Butterbean.

MMA question #2: How big of a piece of poo poo is Chael Sonnen for Anderson Silva to do stuff like this:

I've only just recently started following MMA again (stopped around 2008ish) but I remember Anderson Silva being a class act back in Pride.
