PLANET MMA!

About Me

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a competitive sport in which a wide variety of fighting techniques are used, including striking and grappling.The object of this page is to educate and unite MMA fans of ALL PROMOTIONS. Along with discussions about individual competitors, organizations, and Pay-Per-Views (PPV), a focus will be on ways to update legislature that is against MMA and ways to improve the negative image many hold of MMA. Even though many states will not host a MMA PPV, it's important to have the freedom to do so. SUPPORT MMA IN YOUR STATE!
