The boxing world was shocked when Floyd Mayweather Jr. told fans that he may be defecting to mixed martial arts (MMA). Not only are fans shocked – but it seems that current MMA fighters don’t think that he has all of the skills required to make it.

Their was quite a shock when Quinton “Rampage” Jackson knocked out Chuck Liddell. Chuck Liddell, who was knocked out in the first round, was expected to win. Now UFC is wondering what to do with their biggest star. Is there another star UFC can build marketing campaigns around? Can UFC go forward with Liddell as its marquee attraction, even though he turns 38 this year and is now 0-2 against Jackson? Did the first-time fans who bought last night’s pay per view think they got their money’s worth?

MMA, mixed martial arts is a combat sport in which a wide variety of fighting techniques are used, including striking and grappling. The term “Mixed martial arts” also refers to a martial arts style. Modern mixed martial arts emerged in 1993 with the Ultimate Fighting Championships, based on the concept of pitting different fighting styles against each other in competition with minimal rules, in an attempt to determine which system would be more effective in a real, unregulated combat situation.
