MMA ( Mixed Martial Arts ) is becoming the most famous fighting sport in the world. It is combined from different types of Fighting Styles ( Kick boxing, Boxing, Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu etc... ). The most interesting thing about MMA is that everyone in the business have different strategies, tricks etc… because the fight is not going on only in the Stand up fighting but also in the Clinch and Ground fighting.
