MMA: Get to Know the Fastest Growing Sport in America

Why Follow MMA?:

About five years ago, I became a fan of MMA.  I happened to be at a friend’s house who had ordered a UFC event on pay-per-view.  I decided to sit down and watch and see what all the fuss was about.

What I saw that night was an exciting night of fast paced action in the octagon.  How was the fighter with a wrestling background going to be able to handle a K-1 level kick boxing striker? 

How was a fighter going to be able to be successful against an opponent who had an eight inch reach advantage?  I was nothing short of curious.

What I ended up seeing were multiple highlight reel knockouts, incredible athleticism and skill, pandemonium in the crowd, and extremely knowledgeable commentators breaking down the action.  I was officially hooked.

Since that night a learning process has taken place.  I am now constantly watching old fights, following trends, keeping up on current news, researching various martial arts, etc… 

I also find myself trying to recruit people to the world of MMA because I know how easily I fell in love with the sport. 

I encourage you to see for yourself.  It’s never too late to ride the wave of the fastest growing sport in America.
