It's because in MMA the stance that the fighters use is "squared up" because they have to defend against kicks, which makes for a bigger target. In Boxing the stance is more sideways which makes the target smaller and makes it easier to move your head.
Aldo ran straight into his first shot. Even in a sport where you don't use boxing techniques, a half way decent operator understands the basics of facing an opponent who depends on them.
