For the uninitiated, MMA, short for mixed martial arts, is a combat sport that blends kickboxing, jiu-jitsu, taekwondo, judo, freestyle wrestling, and other fighting disciplines. Competitors use moves from every fighting style they are trained in to beat their opponents. In most professional matches, contestants have three rounds to defeat an opponent. The most common ways to be crowned victor during a round are knockouts and submissions. If both competitors make it through all rounds of the match, the winner is determined by the decision of the judges.
