Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a dynamic and exhilarating combat sport that combines various martial arts disciplines into a single, intense competition. Fighters in MMA showcase their skills and techniques from a wide range of martial arts, such as boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, and judo. The sport emphasizes versatility and adaptability, as fighters must be proficient in both striking and grappling to succeed. MMA matches take place inside a caged or roped octagon, where fighters utilize a blend of punches, kicks, elbows, knees, takedowns, and submissions to defeat their opponents.
MMA has seen a surge in popularity over the years, thanks in large part to the success of various leading promotions. The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is undoubtedly the most prominent and influential MMA organization globally. Other popular MMA promotions include ONE FC, Bellator, PFL, and Invicta FC.
