What is MMA?

MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) is a full-contact combat sport that unifies multiple fighting disciplines under one set of rules. Fighters must possess skills at striking and grappling both standing up and on the ground; its popularity has become global; leading to an increase in talent and competition across many different martial arts training disciplines worldwide.

Combatants in mixed martial arts fight can punch, kick, elbow, knee and choke their opponents. A typical MMA fighter typically has backgrounds in BJJ, Muay Thai and wrestling; Wrestling being especially important as it allows fighters to control opponents on the floor.

Traditional Mixed Martial Arts was commonly known as no-holds-barred (NHB), with few restrictions placed upon combatants’ actions in the octagon. Early matches saw eye gouging, fish-hooking and groin attacks among other things. Today however, MMA is considered a legitimate combat sport held to strict safety and fairness standards – unlike boxing for instance which permits below belt strikes – while referees must intervene to stop fights when they deem a fighter unconscious or no longer capable of defending himself/herself against such attacks.

What is the UFC?

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is the premier mixed martial arts league. Offering various fighting styles and drawing large audiences to their events, its roster of talent continues to surprise.

Marketing efforts of this promotion, including reality shows and celebrity fighters, have propelled it to new heights of popularity in recent years – even appearing on movie screens!

Although some sports sport dramatic spectacle, the UFC tends to emphasize combat sports alone. Craig Borsari, UFC’s Executive Vice President of Operations and Production does not expect that to change anytime soon; but he does believe the company may add new bells and whistles such as showing heart rates of combatants in its broadcasts; these changes would always aim at adding value without detracting from what is going on inside of an octagon.

Jon Jones stands out among all UFC fighters as one of the greatest, and it can be difficult to select just a few as definitive stars. Jon is considered one of the all-time great fighters with his combination of elite wrestling and striking skills making him a fearsome adversary to face.

Demetrious Johnson has successfully defended his Flyweight title an impressive 11 times and can be credited with making this division one of the premier competitive categories. His smooth grappling style and powerful knockout power has won over fans everywhere.

Stipe Miocic is an incredible grappler renowned for using both strength and submission skills to dominate opponents in the Middleweight division. His style brings something new and fresh to MMA.

What is the UFC’s business model?

The UFC’s business model is multifaceted and inclusive, drawing revenue streams from various channels – such as pay-per-view (PPV), sponsorship deals, UFC Performance Institute membership fees and international expansion into new markets.

Contracts between UFC athletes and promoters have been key in its pursuit of monopoly power (Nash 2021). Although legally classified as independent contractors rather than employees, MMA athletes do not benefit from workers’ compensation or minimum wage laws, while their contracts often forbid them from competing professionally for other promoters.

The UFC has found its target audience, drawing most of its revenue from them. While this can have negative repercussions – such as restricting fighters’ opportunities for advertising revenue or sponsor deals – and lead to criticism that the company focuses too heavily on hardcore fans without broadening its appeal to nonhardcores, this challenge has also been encountered by other successful entertainment and media properties in this Internet-era era.
