5 questions you always had about UFC
UFC is a niche sport. Although most of the fans will think twice before admitting the same, this is the truth.
While it has a global footprint, the number of people that know about Mixed Martial Arts are less when compared to other mainstream sports.
And due to this lack of knowledge, there are some weird questions about MMA and UFC all over the internet. Some of these questions are legitimate, and do make sense, but at the same time, there are some ridiculous questions as well.
We will be trying to address a mix of these two categories on this list, as we try to answer some of the most asked questions about UFC and MMA.
#5 What is the difference between UFC and MMA?
For regular followers of the sport, this might sound like a funny question. But the truth is - a lot of people ask this particular question on the Internet.
If you are someone who belongs to this list, then look no further for the answer.
MMA or Mixed Martial Arts is a sport. In simple words, it is a combat sport like boxing and wrestling. MMA was developed over the years by combining multiple Martial Arts including the above mentioned boxing and wrestling.
UFC or Ultimate Fighting Championship on the other hand, is a promotion or a company which organises MMA fights. Like UFC, there are many other promotions out there that hold MMA fights. Some of them are Bellator MMA, ONE Championship, RIZIN, and Brave Combat Federation.
Though there are many promotions, UFC is the most popular one, and it has a huge global footprint as well. Also, one reason why UFC and MMA are synonymous these days is because of the role UFC played in pushing MMA as a sport.
The concept of MMA was born out of the first UFC event where multiple martial arts were pitted up against each other. This idea evolved over the years, and currently stands as the MMA we see today.
