IcemanSK Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 i think other important leagues like japanese pancrase shouldn't be omitted.My apologies. It's not as well known in the US. It's harder to come by, here. Being a good fighter is One thing. Being a good person is Everything. Kevin "Superkick" McClinton
LLLEARNER Posted May 8, 2016 Author Posted May 8, 2016 There is no season in MMA. There are 3 main MMA leagues: UFC, Bellator, & Invicta (an all-women's league).Fights are broken down by weight classes where the fighters can weigh no more than 1 lb over the weight limit. For the men, the weight classes are 125 lbs, 135 lbs, 145 lbs, 155, lbs, 170 lbs, 185 lbs, 205 lbs & (I think) 270 lbs. UFC has only 2 weight classes for the women: 115 lbs & 135 lbs. Invicta has weight classes from 105 lbs to (I believe) 155. For non title fights, there are 3 5 minute rounds. Title fights (or main event fights) are 5 five minute rounds. 4 ounce fingerless gloves are worn. No pads on the feet or shins. Kicks, punches, knees & elbows are allowed. A fighter can win by either decision, submission, or knock out. Some current bigger name fighters are Conor McGregor, Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate, Holly Holm, Nate Diaz, Demetrius Johnson, & Jose Aldo. I hope that helps a bit.Thanks much Iceman. I so want to make a Top Gun joke now. But I am not quick enough at the moment for a good one. "Those who know don't talk.

Bulltahr Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 There is also the ¨ONE¨league based in Singapore, I would love to see all the big leagues pit thier top guys into a true ¨World¨ championship.
