...... mma has a much greater variety of offensive and defensive moves than any single fighting art, leading to more diverse and complicated strategies.

Exactly wrong. You never studied any combat arts, did you? Professional boxing is infinitely more complex and advanced than anything you see in standup in mma. Same goes for wrestling, jujutsu, judo, and kickboxing respectively. What you see in mma is generally just a very simplified form of all of the above, for the exact reason you mentioned previously. This is why people who really know these various arts are getting a little bored with the whole mma thing. Again, this is to take nothing away from the great athletes competing in this interesting format.
However, as I said, mma is in a dangerous place right now. There is a good chance that it will be something your great-grandchildren never heard about. If some jackasses chase a couple of bucks in the short-term and become pro-wrestling, it's pretty much all over. Only a dwindling core of small, overly-tattooed white kids with inferiority complexes will be paying per view until it fades away.
You put a boxer in the ring with a well trained mix martial artist the boxer will lose every time.
In the ring to do what? A boxing match, or an mma fight?
MMA obviously. It's vastly more complex than boxing.
No, it’s just different.
How is it just different when you have to learn multiple fighting styles to win?
Boxing is one dimensional where MMA requires multiple skill sets.
