I am for more simulation, which on its perfect will be the balance. The current game core in stand up is broken in some ways which does Not allow to bring simulation to its fulnes. Solutions: 1. Foot work and defense - check my appropriate thread 2. Stand up Striking - too 3. Feints - too 4. Short VS long reach fighter - one of the most IMPORTANT elements of the game which will solve MANY issues (balance, diversity in online snide different fighters becomes usable). This thread is coming in: - amplitude - ways to shorten distance safely - footsis (zoning) Etc

Jon Jones's physical traits, skill set and abilities make him more likely to be a champion than Jason Brilz. Thats why their stats and skills in the game should be significantly different with Jones being significantly better.

I cant really discuss the mechanics because Im aware of things that the devs may be doing to address some of the issues you identify. Thats why I said we should just assume that striking will be improved so those issues you identified wont be issues anymore.
