Mixed Martial Arts

Mixed Martial Arts is one of the fastest growing sports in America. This brutal sports features athletes that are well versed in multiple Martial Arts. This sport rewards bloody knockouts, muscle tearing submissions, and bone breaking kicks. But the truth is not all athletes who are involved in this sport are getting knocked out or looking to kill someone every time they put on their gloves. Many of the people involved with this sport participate for various reasons such as exercise, getting in shape, fighting, and working on certain Martial Art disciplines. I thought just like most people that all MMA fighters were huge guys who just wanted to be the sense out of each other. But while doing this investigative reporting project I have learned that these notions are false. This sport is much more complex then many think and these athletes have to be in top condition.
