Especially within the grappling. In fact the grappling I would say is the most technical aspect, although it might not appear like they're doing much than "Wailing on the opponents head" they are both constantly thinking about mount positioning, reverses, shrimping, counters, potential locks or chokes, potential counters to counters etc. Funnily enough many people find this part the most boring part of it, which I understand because it's something I think you can only really appreciate once you try it yourself and see how hard it is.

Or it might just be that it's legitimately extremely boring to watch to dudes rolling around on the floor. Well, or sexy, if you're into that kind of thing.

I mean, I know how to play chess. I know that chess players are constantly thinking about where each piece is, about established plays, and are always thinking of counters, and potential counters to counters, etc.

However, watching some people play chess is still boring as fuck.

Watching some people punching each other in the face, however, is not.
