Mixed martial arts, abbreviated as MMA, is a combat sport which in its modern form emerged in the late 20th century and is currently most popular in the United States, Brazil, Japan, United Kingdom and Russia. The main feature of this type of sport is that it combines various combat styles, such as boxing, ju-jitsu, karate and others. Contrary to the common perception, MMA has strict regulations – a set of rules was released in California in 2000, which later was adopted by most MMA organizations.
