Intro: * If you’re like me in high school I loved watching a good fight happen right in front of me. * But at the end of the fight the students would always get into trouble and usually so would the people who basically egged it on. * Well why go through all of that if you can just watch people fight each other all the time in mixed martial arts or MMA. * I myself love to watch this sport and love to watch it become one of the most popular sports worldwide. *†¦show more content†¦B. But not all fighters get to start in the UFC. 1. Though there are a lot of different organizations some of the other big name ones are PRIDE, Cage Rage, WEC, and Strikeforce. 2. Even though UFC basically owns PRIDE and WEC now they still used to be major fighting organizations. C. As you can see the one main one associated with MMA is the UFC. Conclusion: * Mixed Martial Arts is a very entertaining sport which I love to watch. * Every single day I get on the UFC website to make sure I remember when all of the big fights are so that I can watch them. * Even though MMA might be a very physical and bloody sport that shouldn’t keep you from wanting to watch it and be a part of it. * After learning some of the history, some of the major rules, and the organizations associated with MMA I hope that you will be watching my favorite fighter George St. Pierre defend his title on December 11, 2010.
