As you can see this is my first blog entry on MMA.
MMA is a well known sport that is becoming more and more popular all around the world. If you don't know what MMA is, well it is Mixed Martial Arts. MMA is a mix of all types of fighting styles and techniques, including kickboxing, boxing, wrestling, ju-jitsu, tae-kwon do, etc. This type of sport takes all kinds of physical and mental strength. It takes endurance, cardio, knowledge, technique, mental preparation for the fight and courage.
I know I couldn't be successful in this sport because I couldn't prepare myself to get beat up. I believe even if you are great at this sport, you're still going to get beat up and maybe even hurt. It's not like you are at the gym with a punching bag, the guy standing in the octagon with you will fight back.
I've heard people say, mostly women, that MMA is a horrible thing and it shouldn't be allowed. I completely, 100% disagree with that. I mean, do you want guys to fight illegally or sneak it and get in trouble? NO! If you don't want that then this is the perfect alternative. Guys who love to fight and knock out other guys will be in this sport and be successful too. I know that if I was a guy and I was physically and mentally strong enough I would be involved in this sport.
MMA is popular now. I know My brothers, Dad, and I watch ALL the UFC pay-per-views that we can rent. I am a girl but I love this sport. I do want to be involved in this sport somehow, that is my dream. I don't care if it is a small job, I would love to get the opportunity to be around this environment. Like I mentioned before, there's not just one division of Mixed Martial Arts. You have different companies, for instance the UFC(Ultimate Fighting Championship), PFC(Pride Fighting Championship), VFC(Vengeance Fighting Championship), WEC(World Extreme Cagefighting), etc. I think the UFC is the most popular division, that's what I watch the most.
I don't understand why people ban and disapprove of this sport.
How can you dislike this sport and why would you dislike this sport?
