Professional wrestling continues to thrive and boxing, despite its organizational woes, still performs well in pay-per-view and on cable. But much of the buzz in the ring these days is around mixed martial arts, which shed its outlaw image by imposing rules and safety regulations and has become arguably the hottest sport of the first decade of the 21st century.

Mixed martial arts, or MMA, as the sport is known to millions of teen-age and young-adult males, allows for various attacking strategies from assorted fight disciplines. It is a genuine sport like boxing, but with an emphasis on entertainment values not dissimilar from professional wrestling. Unlike boxing or wrestling, the events typically take place in an octagon or cage, not a square ring.
