As purely a fan, I'd rather watch a terrible brawl than wrestlingsex for 3 rounds.

I don't mind wrestling, as long as they're doing something. Trying to better your position, ground and pound, going for submissions, I'm fine with that. If you're just pinning the guy down because that's all you can do, and you're not even trying to do anything, that's annoying as hell, and the ref should stand them up.

I could go a lifetime without watching another Leonard Garcia fight.

That's only one fight though. Guida consistently either finishes or goes home with fight of the night.

Jake Shields on Jon Fitch are the two most technically sound grapplers in MMA, but everyone bitches about any fight they're in being boring. Can't get it both ways.

Yes you can, because fights can be boring on the feet and on the ground. After one round of a sloppy brawl with no finish in sight it gets old and boring quick. Atleast it takes some semblence of skill to take someone down and keep them there, anyone can go in and just swing for the fences for 15 minutes, not saying that any particular does that, but it happens alot.
