To start MMA went through heated political debate, headed by Arizona Senator John McCain. Stating numerous arguments against the sport, forcing it from major pay-per-view carriers, and convincing many states to ban MMA. After the acquiring a new set of rules MMA slowly came back to PPV’s and began too become more mainstream.

When watching MMA you will see fighters use various martial art styles, such as boxing, muay thai, karate, kung fu, wrestling, Brazilian jujitsu, and judo. MMA has evolved from style vs. style fights, to fighters using multiple styles at once. MMA has evolved into a sport favoring multi talented fighters using a wide range of skills.
