Lebell fight was a sham, Milo Savage had 46 losses in boxing, and his first boxing match was in 1945 so nearly twenty years of boxing he fought Lebell he was nowhere near in shape and he never he even contended for a title his entire career
Inoki was the real deal, and Ali is Ali, that's the first real mma match because you had two guys at the top of their sport fighting each other
Kimura vs Gracia was under jiu jitsu rules even thought Kimura was use to Judo and professional wrestling rules so it wasn't a mixed rules fight
Whether or not you find it competitive, it was an MMA contest and no more of a sham than the Ali-Inoki fight where grappling wasn't even allowed. Teila Tuli was in the first UFC fight despite being a sumo wrestler with little to no chance besides smother, doesn't mean he wasn't in the first UFC fight though.
