i feel like this has a lot to do with the infancy of the sport. every other major sport has been around for decades and longer, but MMA has been in the mainstream for about 5 years. you think about the kids that grow up watching football with their dads, or playing baseball in gym class, so they're exposed to these sports their whole lives and it'd be difficult not to understand them, but unless you're a really avid fan and have religiously watched MMA for years or you yourself train, its not as easy to understand the sport and that's going to take some time. its going to take, i think, another 10+ years before people stop booing ground transitions and what not, and even then there will be people that still think its boring. after all, most nascar fans will tell you they only watch b/c of the chance that a car will explode.
