I think that's a bit unfair. I don't watch MMA much, but it's interesting when I do, and I don't watch to see someone get hurt or to see a lot of blood. If I want to see that, I can go back and look at any of the first few UFCs. Just as with boxing, there's a lot of skill involved in MMA fights. Some people tune in for the technical display, some people tune in for the sport of it, some people tune in because they want to see a fight, and that might include someone getting hurt. There are many reasons to watch.
