You've just seen some of the more dull UFC events then. Every once in a while there are some really exciting matches, such as the UFC that just took place last week.
The ground game may appear to be slow and boring, but it's an extremely technical and difficult part of any fight which goes there. Often you'll see guys with a wrestling background try to take guys down simply out of instinct and becauset hey can neutralize any attacks there.
Whereas you will also see guys like Chuck Liddell, who was a wrestler in school but is an amazing kickboxer. He uses his wrestling to prevent take-downs and help him keep it standing, where he knocks people the fuck out.
