I knee them in the nuts.

Punch them in the face.

I lead them in a conversation where I end up establishing boxing is like chess where MMA is like checkers....

Punch them in the face.

MMA isn't real fighting either. The rules take away the most essential elements of a real fight in fact, i.e. the cheapest and most damaging attacks. Even Pankration didn't allow eye gouging or biting 2500 years ago.

I tell them, they don't know what they're talking about and this conversation is over.

No point in arguing with ******s.

pretty much this. . .

it's all smoke and mirrors - UFC is not more of an indication on who would win in a street fight at all. . . who's to say the person can't knee you in the fugging balls and bite your nose off and gouge your eyes out?

however, you definitely can't "play" boxing, or UFC.
