🥋الفنون القتالية المختلطة

MMA (mixed martial arts) is a full-contact combat sport in which two fighters compete inside a cage (octagon) or ring. It blends striking techniques (boxing, kickboxing) with wrestling and ground grappling (wrestling, judo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu). The fight can take place both standing and on the ground.

Defeat the opponent by ending the fight early (KO, submission, referee stoppage) or, failing that, by winning the judges' decision after the scheduled rounds.

• •The fight happens both standing (striking) and on the ground (wrestling, submissions).
• •You can win early by KO, referee stoppage (TKO) or submission (the opponent gives up by tapping).
• •If the fight goes the distance, three judges decide the winner.
• •Tapping the mat with a hand (or foot) means submission: the fight stops immediately.
• •Some targets and strikes are forbidden (eyes, back of the head, throat, groin).
• •The referee may stop the fight at any time to protect a fighter.
