Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a full-contact sport that combines various fighting styles, including boxing, wrestling, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and Muay Thai. Fighters compete in an octagonal cage, known as the Octagon, where they can use both striking and grappling techniques to defeat their opponents. The goal is to win by knockout, submission, or judges' decision. MMA has gained immense popularity worldwide, with organizations like the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) leading the way. Athletes train rigorously to develop their skills and conditioning, making it a challenging and exciting sport for both competitors and fans.
