It comes around every 300-500 years since 686BC. It's not a big deal in the big picture, I don't think, and UFC isn't really anything special in terms of open rules combat sports popping up and morphing into what we already had.
The specialized sports exist in the first place, and do not disappear for hundreds of years, because we've already ran the experiment a few times and what's going to happen is the generalists will become specialized in their successes and shape the sport into a specialized sport.
You know, in Bare Knuckle they used to gouge eyes out and stomp nuts? Yeah, it's true....those guys got their asses kicked by wrestlers and boxer, then the wrestlers got their asses kicked by boxers and then boxing became a pure punching sport....again.
There are periods when sword, staff, club, and a bag or rocks are totally admissible for a boxing match. They too got punched in their faces and knocked it off.
Point is, it's just human nature. It's a cycle we do. There is no stopping it. Let them have their fun, they'll come to same conclusion they always do.

I watched Quinton Jackson pick up and slam Ricardo Arona into knockoutville. I saw Chuck Liddell muscle his way back to the feet all the time, every time.
The UFC can go though. If you fail
to see how it is eating boxing up then you’re blind.
