Evidently kicking takes a lot out of a person and kick boxers don't want to spend a lot of energy on a move that rarely does any damage. So they had to require the kick boxers to do a minimum number of pretend kicks each round.
Fast forward to UFC. A few seconds of pseudo-boxing followed by an agonizing amount of bromance on the floor.

An expert display of ground fighting doesn’t bore me at all.
Watching someone like Demian Maia muscle blanket his opponent for 5 rounds makes my want to kill myself in the face.
