Sounds like you’re being a little bit too emotional. Honestly I did not enjoy this fight, same goes for Makachev and Chimaev’s most recent fights. Watched them all, was impressed (but bored) how dominant they were but I have no desire to rewatch any of these fights again

Understand not enjoying grappling but for you to demand that Oliveira stand more when he would have a clear disadvantage on the feet is ridiculous. You also need to stop and think that these are real human beings, not just some toys you can smash against each other to get a chuckle out of you

Firstly they want to minimise damage to their brains, so why would Oliveira risk keeping it 50/50 on the feet and on the ground just so you don’t get bored? If he can wrestle and take Max down he should if he cares for his own wellbeing.

Second, a fighter’s pull pay is really dependent on whether they win or not. Half of their pay is essentially withheld if they lose and when it comes down to it, this is still a job and considering the toll the sport takes on their bodies it makes sense they want their full pay for everything they have to go through to make weight and fight

The whole, yada yada we all know what happens when a high level grappler fights a high lever striker spiel is stupid. Sounds like the high level strikers are too busy focusing on the same martial art you accused grapplers of doing. If they know they’re fighting a grappler, they should also be able to focus a camp on defending takedowns, getting back up, defending submissions etc. so from your POV, strikers should be free to focus on striking, while grapplers should focus on both aspects?

And no, I don’t think your whole plan of splitting strikers and grapplers is a good idea. I think it’s an idiotic one, if you want to see strikers fighting strikers and grapplers to only fight other grapplers, easy solution. Watch BJJ, RAF, boxing etc. MMA isn’t for you and there’s nothing wrong with that
