Latest News and Updates with MMA & Boxing


The roots of the mixed martial arts boxing game can be traced back to the early historical Han Dynasty in ancient China. Ancient Greece also has a record of it called, “Pankration.”

At the time, MMA was merely a form of hand-to-hand combat used by the ancient Chinese in times of warfare. This ancient combat style married striking, grappling, punching, kicking, and fighting techniques. But, it was not until the early 1990s before MMA gradually became a noteworthy game that parties competed against each other. Following events of the sport for over two decades, MMA has grown to become a fast-rising sport, attracting great mainstream attention.

Considering its mainstream stance and position in the sports industry, there are always new things happening around the sport. And, with the season of MMA always here, there is certainly so much to digest. If you’re always following through on MMA, the chances are that you’d want to stay updated with changes happening there. Some important events and updates to look forward to in 2022 include;
