Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a full-contact combat sport that combines various techniques from different martial arts disciplines, including striking and grappling. Competitors are allowed to use a wide range of physical tactics, drawing from disciplines such as boxing, wrestling, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, judo, and karate. The sport typically takes place in an arena known as an octagon or cage, where fighters compete under a defined set of rules and regulations. MMA is characterized by its emphasis on both stand-up fighting and ground fighting, allowing for a diverse array of fighting styles and strategies. It is governed by organizations that establish rules for safety, such as weight classes and the prohibition of certain dangerous techniques. MMA has gained significant popularity worldwide, with major promotions such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) leading the way in popularizing the sport through events, fighter showcases, and broadcasts.
