Gladiators Of The Octagon

Since i'm getting back into blogging to keep this blog alive, I'll share some of my interests with all of you.

MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) is a fast growing sport in the world today. With the major fight organisation, UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship), gaining worldwide popularity, the sport of MMA has gone mainstream and is a big hit for pay-per-view TV.



Some may misunderstand it as the dirty sport of cagefighting but MMA has shown to be a valid sport, just like any other martial arts like boxing and Muay Thai. The thing that makes this sport so appealing is the combination of multiple disciplines into one sport. Major disciplines include JiuJitsu, Muay Thai, kickboxing, wrestling, boxing and kick-assery.

Amongst notable fighters today are:

  • Brock Lesnar (people know him from the WWE days),
  • George St Pierre (Canadian fighter who is highly skilled in all areas of MMA)
  • Ken Shamrock (also known for his days in the WWE/WWF)
  • Randy Couture (a Legend of the sport)
  • Anderson Silva (c gondol portuguese a real ass kicker)
  • Matt Hughes (timing berabis but a great fighter)
More about the sport for some other time. For now these gladiators should be inspiration enough to kick ass out there.
