By Panah C Rad

The world of mixed martial arts has truly changed since the Ultimate Fighting Championship took the sports mainstream. Mega events such as the UFC 91,92, and 94 have truly opened the eyes of many MMA skeptics. Boxing is a great sport, but the future of fighting game lies in the MMA world. The success of champions such as GSP and Rashad Evans has encouraged many youngsters to enter the world of mixed martial arts. After all, not only you can earn a lot of money in this field, but you can fight well into your 30s and be competitive in this field. But before you enter the world of MMA, you should make sure you know what you are getting yourself into.

Champions such as GSP need to be complimented for making things look easy. These folks train for hours every day, and they are extremely competent in all aspects of the fighting game. They are good as striking, ground and pound, and submissions. Anyone who wants to have any success in the world of mixed martial arts needs to work towards developing a well-rounded game. You could get away with being good in only one aspect of this game a few years ago, but these days fighters are getting good in every aspect of the game, and you'd put yourself in a serious disadvantage by not evolving as a fighter and mastering all aspects of this game.

• striking
• sweeps and escapes
