How quickly things change. Seems like we talked yesterday about how fast the fan base for NASCAR's growth. Some people got this stupid talking about it as possible to take over in popularity, the NFL someday. NASCAR's growing fan base and since then has taken a hit, probably due to the recent economic problems in the past few years. Thus, mixed Martial Arts, MMA is the new ruling "world's fastest growing sport, as we are in 2010, and looking for the foreseeable future.
Do not get me wrong, the NFL is still the 800 pounds gorilla coming fan base and popularity around the world, but MMA has shown significant growth over the last decade, and even more rapidly over the past 5 years. No growth if it ever takes forever, but it's hard to tell how long it can last for MMA, given the momentum of the sport and, more specifically, the UFC or Ultimate Fighting Championship.
The UFC is currently the largest MMA promotion and so is the best fighter in the world is stable. The UFC has a new darling of Las Vegas much to the sadness of forces on the boxing world. However instead of bitter, the sport of boxing has taken a look at why this is. For one, you can not get big fights for free anymore when it comes to box. The UFC on the other hand, the air free broadcast marked "UFC Fight Night" on Spike ever few months at least, and usually more than that. And it is usually big main event of the hardcore fans want to see, not warriors nobody knows.
And more recently, news of the signing Strikeforce fighter Fedor Emelianenko the best in the world the MMA world is shaken, and Fedor now hope to make a household name with a free broadcast network of the most popular fighter the sport has a contract with Statistics Netherlands.
The key to enjoying the thrill of the sport though, are all different aspects of the sport to understand, and the transitions you see on a typical struggle to identify. The least understood of these being "ground game". For the casual observer, it may be boring compared to the striking appearance (the term used in MMA refers to condition part of a fight). And sometimes it is an average talent. But if you have two world class Grappler going on, it is the most exciting part of the struggle in my opinion.
As a new fan should watch for land use "guard", and escape from this position for another striker, also known as "the waiting is over." The guard position is the striker under his / her opponent managed by wrapping their legs around the middle of the fighter on top, while the control of the head, keep him off balance, making more easy to clean or the other. Normally, the fighter on top, or "on hold" try her legs around the leg of the enemy, or to "ground and pound" fighter other strikes in the top position. There is usually no submissions in prison.
It is impossible for all the nuances of the sport in this section cover, but the number of more general idea of the struggles of MMA was heard by a new and not the fans, the more enjoyment out of watching great battles and understand how the fighters are not technical level of conditioning required to compete in this sport and others. Most believe it to be rivals of their counterparts in the NFL, or any other sport for that matter. So the next time you are around a new fan, take a minute of the fastest growing sport around the world to explain. See you at the fights!
