Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a full-contact combat sport that combines various techniques from different martial arts disciplines. Fighters can use striking and grappling techniques, allowing them to compete in a variety of ways, including punches, kicks, and submissions. MMA events are typically held in an octagonal cage, known as the Octagon, to ensure safety and fairness.
MMA has gained popularity worldwide, with organizations like the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) leading the way in promoting the sport. Athletes train in multiple disciplines, such as boxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and wrestling, to develop a well-rounded skill set for competition.
