For those of you who may not be familiar with mixed martial art here what Wikipedia says about it:
"Mixed martial arts (aka MMA) is a full contact combat sport in many fighting techniques are used, including striking and grappling.
Modern mixed martial arts tournaments as a popular phenomenon emerged in 1993 with the Ultimate Fighting Championship, based on the concept of pitting different fighting styles against each other in competition with minimal rules in place, in an attempt to determine which system would be more effective in a real, unregulated combat situation.
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, mixed martial arts events implemented additional rules for the safety of the athletes and to promote acceptance of the sport, while maintaining as much of the original.
As of today the sport is constantly gaining in popularity and should overthrow traditional boxing quite soon."
Let's enjoy the movie to better understand what is MMA!
