Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a sport that combines techniques of various types of martial arts, such as Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, Karate, and so forth.
MMA first appeared in 1993 in the United States with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event.
At present, UFC is the largest MMA organization in the world.
In MMA matches, athletes can use various techniques, such as blows, kicks, throwing, and locking.
MMA matches usually consist of three rounds, with each round of five minutes.
If the match does not end in three rounds, there will be one additional round, called Sudden Death.
MMA athletes need very good physical conditions, because MMA matches are very demanding stamina and strength.
One of the famous MMA athletes is Conor McGregor, also known as The Notorious.
There are many rules that must be followed in the MMA match, such as a prohibition on kicking the head of opponents who have fallen.
Although it looks rude, MMA is actually a sport that is very regulated and supervised by referees and match officials to ensure the safety of athletes.
