Its easy to see where boxing leaves off and Mixed Martial Artsbegins. Just one look at the UFC octagon, steel cage and frantic crowdsand you instantly know that MMA is a world apart from the boxing yourgrandfather once told you about. This is the world where differentcombat styles pit themselves against the rest to determine which oneremains supreme. Its a brutal sport where the will to fight has alwaysbeen bigger than the will to bring home a dollar. The athletes that putthemselves into the cage have a pride that has long been lost in theworld of professional boxing.It hasnt always been that way. In MMAs yesteryear the fightingthat took place has been noted as human cockfighting by prominentgovernment officials such as John McCain. It went from very few statesoffering sanctioned fights to no states offering sanctioned fights.Mixed Martial Arts rose to prominence in the underground fight leaguesand it seemingly died right there. No one, not even the originalowners of the UFC thought Mixed Martial Arts had the ability to survivemounting scrutiny of congress and the overwhelming dislike by stateofficials.

This all proved to be a lethalcombination that led the UFC and Mixed Martial Arts back to thelimelight that it briefly shared with professional boxing.With the explosion of the Ultimate Fighter the UFC was able to reach a new audience that has boosted sales of pay per views, MMA Fighter Gear,apparel and ticket sales.

They alsohold their own against the pay per view sales of long establishedprofessional wrestling, most notably, World Wrestling Entertainment.With a firm foothold in the 18-35 demographic there is no indicationthat the UFC and Mixed Martial Arts will fizzle out like it did in itsprevious incarnation. As the fighters are strong and ready to fight ata moments notice, the leadership behind the sport is equally as hungryto remain on top of the world of fighting.
