People argue there is a lack of rules in the UFC. Although there are some, most of them are stopping unfair advantage and not for the benefit of the athletes.

There are two many reasons it differs from boxing. One big reason is that after you knock down an opponent the fight does not stop, in most cases UFC fighters “rush” their opponent trying to drop “hammer fists” to ensure the fighter is knocked out cold.

The second reason is that the weight of the gloves is different, boxers wear gloves with more weight making the hands slower and the impact more padded. UFC fighters wear lighter gloves making the strikes faster and more effective.

Yes! It is shown there is differences in data based off weight. For example, lighter weight gets hit with more significant strikes to the head but heavier weights hit a lot harder resulting in more knockouts at the UFC level.

After much research it has been shown football is the most dangerous sport. People think because they have equipment it is safer but with over 100 plays a game for 12 games a year. You are looking at about 1500 blows to the head per season. Minute for minute MMA is by far more dangerous, but the amount of time these two are played is what separates them.

Connor Mcgregor is probably the most well known fighter ever. His funny and attention grabbing interviews hooked people into the sport and it has been growing ever since.
