It's a good thing for everyone else nobody ever taught Wilder to box or he'd be unstoppable. Even now I don't see anyone in the division beating him. Ortiz had the best chance and he got KO'd too.
Wilder is presently 40-0-0-0 with 39 KOs. The only fight that went to the cards was the first fight with Stiverne. Wilder broke his right hand early in the fight but still won a wide decision, then got a first round KO in the rematch.
To beat Wilder it will take a disciplined counter puncher with a tough chin and great power. Ortiz was the guy who fit the bill. Lennox Lewis or Vitali Klitschko probably would have handled Wilder, but they are both retired and old.

There's something to be said about his awkwardness, too. Maybe because he is less "refined", he ended up becoming more dangerous.

He does throw from weird angles. I was talking more about his defense and his combinations. He's mostly a 1-2 left jab-straight right puncher and his defense is just about movement; his guard isn't great and he doesn't clinch or shoulder roll.

You seem awfully pissy of late, is something the matter?

If I seem pissy, then you seem menstrual for bringing up fucking tennis.
Probably because were a bunch of older men. I think MMA is more popular with a younger demographic. I voted boxing. Don't follow the sport as closely as I used to, but still enjoy it. I'm not really interested in MMA besides GSP and the occasional circus put on by McGregor.

Boxing.
Way better video games.
Way better movies.
Has there ever been a decent MMA game or movie?

Not really. Boxing is in the midst of a huge rebound and MMA has one star - Conor McGregor - who just got his ass kicked and then made an ass of himself (so did the guy who beat him) on their biggest show ever.
When McGregor isn't on the card, UFC buyrates are in the shitter.
And despite more mainstream news coverage, nobody in UFC except McGregor makes what middle of the road featherweight boxers make.
MMA rode a bubble to its height and is now in the midst of settling down to its true popularity level.

I would say street fighter 2 is a pretty good MMA game. Astral bout 3, UWF, King of Colosseum 2, Fighting network Rings, there are a ton. Nes Punchout is still my favorite boxing game, though the early fight night games kicked ass too.
MMA has been dead since PRIDE died, at least to hardcore fans. UFC has been dead ever since Zuffa bought it from SEG and changed all the rules to make it ultimate wrestle fuck boxing, UFC is not really MMA anymore, it is its own thing.

At least you didn't say tennis.
edit: On a side note, I would be fascinated to see the people who voted curling onto the Olympics. Not meet them, just observe from a distance. And how did they push it through? Obscene amounts of cash? Spectacular blowjobs? Shenanigans with whatever forms that whoever had to sign, so that the signators thought they were including it only in the Special Olympics? I think the Coen Brothers could make an amazing movie about the whole conspiracy.
