There has always been an issue wether a person should have strength or technique. For example, if there was a 250 pound all american linebacker in a fight with someone who is only 180 pounds who would be expected to win more than likely? The 250 pound linebacker of course. Which is more affective strength or technique?
MMA is a fast growing sport because most people like the thought of being able to just beat people for fun and it's legal. The sport requires fitness for sure. Most of the MMA fighters in the UFC are cut. They spar, learn different techniques, run to keep weight, and work out.
In 1882, Jigoro Kano started a thing called Judo. Judo, meaning the gentle way, was established by putting in all the techniques Kano had learned from jujitsu and other forms of combat and taking out punching and kicking. Well how is judo even categorized in fighting without punching and kicking? Judo is grappling, kinda like wrestling, but more difficult. Requires more technique. In Judo, the 250 linebacker could be thrown easily with his momentum.
MMA is a great way to keep a good life style. Fighters in the UFC or MMA are always working out or sparing because they want to destroy their opponent. Like the second Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen fight. Anderson was probably training harder then ever because Chael just kept running his mouth.
Either way it can help your life style. Technique can be found almost anywhere. Not just in football or MMA. Not just in sports either, but how you make a cake.
