They call it "striking" because it's not boxing. It's a whole nother artform, most MMA punches are arm punches. Put a boxer in there and have him fight like he would in a boxing match and Liddell would take him down and destroy him. His strongpoint may not be on the mat but he would do the job against someone with no prior training.

It's all ridiculous, put most any top boxer in with most any top MMA guy and the MMA guy is going to win. And vice versa.
