The Sport 

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a fast moving high octane full contact combat sport that allows the use of both striking and grappling techniques, both standing and on the ground, including boxing, wrestling, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Mauy Thai, kickboxing, karate, judo and other styles.

Under the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts athletes compete for three five-minute rounds, like boxing scoring is done on a ten-point system, with the winner of the round receiving ten points and the loser nine points or less. Unlike boxing, MMA matches are scored not only for effective striking but also for ground fighting effectiveness, submission and takedown attempts and defense, as well as ring generalship.
