UFC: Is this a Sport?

[cmo]

I got to watch UFC because there are famous brazilian jiujitsu, and good marial arts in combination with wrestling and kick-boxing.

Due to the violent play and usually bloddy most of the time, I am not sure if this is considered a sport or an underground.

ufc is considered a sport.

in fact other mma ( mixed martial arts) tournaments like pride, cage fighting, and fury are becoming popular. in fact mma is now more popular than boxing in terms of fan base and generated revenue.

I have come to like watching this myself. :superhappy: However, sometimes it gets to be really bloody and dangerous!

The strategies are amazing! ^^ I am a fan of the old pride and ufc, though. I haven't really had the time to watch the new ones these days...

it will be worth your time.

if your interested there are also local groups that stage fights here in manila. two of the most famous ones are urcc and deftac. i think urcc scheduled an event at moa and recently one at cebu.

the fights were ok although i would have preferred to see more knockouts.
