A new blood sport

The Ultimate Fighter Championship (UFC) is a league that brings together the world’s best mix martial artists (MMA) to compete. The UFC is an organisation in the making, though MMA has been around for some time now. You must be able to box, wrestle, kick-box and be a jiu-jutsu black-belt, at the very least. Fighters wear no headgear and box with gloves that leave fingers open to wrestle. It’s amazing and may soon dethrone boxing as the numero uno fight sport. Hatton versus Pacquiao may be the last really big boxing match. Boxing needs another Tyson or Ali.
