Boxing and other forms of one-on-one fighting are the oldest sports in human history. The meeting of two athletes in a pure contest of wills and skill is the ultimate individual contest in the world of sports. Once the exclusive domain of boxing, fighting has recently seen the growth of mixed martial arts (MMA) into one of the biggest sports in the world. Thanks to Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and the former PRIDE organization, mixed martial arts could become the top sport in the world.

The “Sweet Science” of boxing has evolved over the years thanks to promotions and rule changes. The once brutal, bare-knuckle sport has become a battle of skill, technique, and endurance rather than two hulks simply waling on each other. Big names likes George Foreman and Muhammed Ali did much to move the sport of boxing to a game of speed over pure brawn. The mantel of these legendary fighters is now carried by fighters far lighter than the champs of old. Names like Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, Jr., and Ricky Hatton rule the boxing world.

Mixed martial arts has taken off like a rocket in the past decade. Formally the sport of only a small fan base of fighting connoisseurs, mixed martial arts jumped to the masses thanks to UFC. UFC has mainstreamed the sport of MMA with rule changes to emphasize skill over sheer brutality that gave the sport a poor reputation. UFC also packs in plenty of big-name athletes like Quinton Jackson, Chuck Lidell, Brock Lesnar, and Anderson Silva. EliteXC has also become a MMA powerhouse thanks to the likes of Kimbo Slice.

The success of UFC and MMA as a whole has brought the sport of fighting into a golden age. Boxing still brings in millions of dollars for every fight, be it in Las Vegas or another venue. UFC reigns atop MMA, but many other organizations are emerging all over the world to bring competition. Whether you like boxing or MMA, fighting cannot be topped.
