From what I've understood MMA = Sport and Freestyle = Fighting style... what that means is that they apparently don't recognize MMA as a fighting style and must instead use "Freestyle Fighter". Now, I could be fine with this (seeing as it's probably a bi-product of the old style-based UFC)... if they didn't announce fighters with both terms without any real consistency!
All in all: Freestyle Fighting = MMA and a lot of confusion!
