“Did you see the big fight this weekend?” The question used to be about boxing matches when the giants of the fight world were Mike Tyson and Roy Jones. Now fans are leaving the sweet science in droves for the combat sport of the future: mixed martial arts (MMA). MMA has drawn millions on cable and network television as well as out-performed professional wrestling and boxing on pay-per-view. Fans are attracted to the sport but unlike boxing (where strategy and technique are limited to using both your left and right hands) an MMA fight can be surprisingly complicated. The MMA Encyclopedia puts the fighters the facts and the fundamentals of the world's fastest growing sport at your fingertips as the definitive reference guide to mixed martial arts. The encyclopedia will break the MMA language barrier for those who don't know a wristlock from a wristwatch while at the same time offering perspective and analysis that will entertain the hardcore fan who already has the basics down pat. With three appendices that detail the results of every MMA fight in history this the ultimate reference book for the ultimate sport.
