MMA

MMA stands for Mixed Martial Arts, a full-contact combat sport that allows a wide range of fighting techniques and disciplines from various martial arts. Competitors engage in striking and grappling techniques while standing and on the ground, drawing from disciplines such as boxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, wrestling, Muay Thai, karate, and judo, among others. MMA is governed by a set of rules that specify acceptable techniques and prohibit certain actions, ensuring the safety of fighters. The sport is typically contested in a cage or ring, and bouts can be won by knockout, submission, or judges’ decision. MMA has gained widespread popularity in recent years, with organizations like the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) leading in promoting high-profile events.
