Mixed martial arts (commonly referred to as MMA) is a combat sport in which a blending of fighting techniques from various striking and grappling systems are employed for competition. This combat may take place with both participants standing up or while on the ground. While modern forms of mixed combat can be traced back to the early and mid 1900's, MMA garnered attention from the mainstream in the early 1990's when the Ultimate Fighting Championship began. Since that time both the sport's rules and fighting techniques have evolved drastically.
