                                                     MMA- Mixed Martial Arts


         In the article "Mixed Martial Arts"  by Ray Krueger, he talks much about how Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a very violent and physical sport. "MMA" became a huge sensation in 1993 when pay-per-view played a fight as a experiment to see if people would react to it. After the first premier people started to find it interesting and exciting to watch MMA. Once MMA started to get more popular it became a official sport. Fighters can now become professional fighters and go to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) that is more popular than the normal MMA matches. Ray Krueger mentioned that MMA is a mixture of  boxing, wrestling, karate, jiu-jitsu, judo, Muy Thai and/or basic brawling. Mixed Martial Arts has been around for a while, Brazil was mainly the starter of the sport than America adopted it. Anybody if allowed to do MMA, but it requires a lot of tough work. The work involves eating the right type of fat, carbs, sugars, whets...etc and physical and mental training, you must work your skills and learn new skills and train almost everyday for at least 2 hours. MMA is not a sport for the weak, it is almost as if the strong live the weak die. Although this is a sport, it is a recently new sport to the U.S and some states aren't allowed to be involved with it yet such as New York because  it is known as a violent state.
