Welcome
Welcome to The Mixed Martial Arts Zone
There is little doubt that the MMA
arena of fighting is coming into it's own in the 21st
century...reminiscent of the hand-to-hand combatants of old Greece it's
almost a cliche' in that
' history repeats itself '. Personally I think of all the sports
it is perhaps the most artistic expessionist outside of the Olympics
themselves. Like a violent ballet...the performance outweighs the
violence and that is what makes it acceptable to a mainstream audience,
In my opinion...the UFC. IFL, Pride...are becoming more popular than
Boxing or Kickboxing because MMA is more than just hitting your
opponent...it is a display of many skills...and many ways to take
advantage of an opponents weaknesses...it wouldn't surprise me in the
least if MMA becomes the next Major League Sport behind Baseball,
Basketball, Football, Soccer, and Hockey!
