A Mixed Martial Artist (MMA) is a professional fighter who competes in a sport that combines various martial arts disciplines. These athletes train in techniques from disciplines such as boxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, wrestling, and Muay Thai to develop a well-rounded skill set. MMA competitions often take place in an octagonal cage, allowing fighters to use both striking and grappling techniques. MMA has gained popularity worldwide, with organizations like the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) leading the way. Fighters are typically categorized by weight classes, ensuring fair competition. Training for an MMA fighter involves rigorous physical conditioning, technical skill development, and mental preparation.
