Stick a boxer in an MMA ring and he gets put on his arse and tapped out or ground and pounded every single time.
The boxer has 1 chance in an MMA environment and that's if they land a knockout blow before they're put on their back.
It's because the boxer would have to deal with a situation utterly alien to him. And judging by the quality of striking I've seen in MMA bouts so far the same would be true in the reverse situation. It doesn't mean MMA fighters are better all-round, just that they are better under MMA rules.
The same as a boxer would be superior under boxing rules.
Correct and the proper people in each sport both say this same thing.
A proper boxer, with a proper MMA training camp behind him over a number of years could though be a champion. All MMA fighters have a base of some other discipline, at this moment in time the wrestlers are transitioning the best.

Why wasn't he giving him roundhouse kicks to the back of the neck?
He tried some weird right hander haymaker with a spin/backhand left hander at one point. I think he was taught that by some guy in the far East who was taking the piss 
See that in Muay Thai but its an illegal move and you'll be disqualified for it, if it connects it will knock you clean out, seen it in training loads of times, again, different rules in MMA which I know nothing about

Spinning backhands are legal in MMA, Jon Jones is a master of them.
