Originally posted by rmackenUFC is the Ultimate fighting championship it is a mixed martial art event(MMA)in which many styles of martial arts come together in a competition where almost anything is allowed:punch,kick,takedowns, ground fighting,knees,elbows, submissions.Fighters in these MMA bouts are almost always cross trained in multiple styles.For example a kick boxer will have to learn bjj to avoid getting thrown to the ground
What is UFC and MMA??
and a ground fighter(wrestling/bjj)has to know stand up to avoid a KO.All this results in the most well rounded and real fights you'll ever find.
