Actually, if you're looking at the UFC, most of them are former high school and collegiate wrestling champions and world class brazilian jiujitsu black belts.
Pure grappler beats a pure striker 99% of the time, this has been proven time and time again. That is the draw, is that the fighters in MMA would be able to defeat boxers in a form of combat where the boxer is not in anyway limited in what they can do within that fight. Of all combat sports athletes on earth, MMA fighters are best placed to defeat the other top level athletes from other combat sports. The top level MMA fighters can in theory, take down and submit the worlds best boxers and kickboxers, submit the worlds best wrestlers and stop the takedowns and knock out the worlds best submission artists.
