Fights without rules are martial arts, allowing the use of a wide variety of techniques and techniques from various types of martial arts. This sport was most recognized in Russia, Japan, Holland, USA, Brazil.
Who is stronger: Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee?
Fights without rules are often called MMA - Mixed Martial Arts. Recently, fans of classic boxing have become a little bored. In this sport, the strongest fighter in the world is Vitali Klitschko, a native of Ukraine. Together with his brother Vladimir, they hold the leading positions in heavyweight for many years. In MMA, on the contrary, new stars are constantly appearing. Thus, the ratings of broadcasts of fights without rules in the United States are already significantly ahead of the ratings of broadcasts of classic boxing. Moreover, the audience is interested not only in who is the strongest fighter in the world, but also in what kind of martial arts will “win” this time.
There are many organizations organizing competitions and concluding contracts with athletes, as well as many versions of titles. Therefore, the very concept of “the strongest fighter without rules” is very subjective. Moreover, often a contract with an athlete prohibits him from participating in open championships
MMA Features
In MMA, athletes can use any tricks, throws, grabs and float arms, legs, elbows, knees. But the battle is not at all like a bloody scene from a feature film. Contrary to the name, a fight without rules has its own rules, namely: you cannot beat in the groin, throat, spine and back of the head, and it is also forbidden to gouge (squeeze out) your eyes. Athletes do not compete among themselves. Death during a battle is a very rare occurrence, taking place rather because of the negligence of sports doctors who released an athlete into the ring with health problems. In rare cases, the usual knockout for athletes and their fans can lead to sudden death, for example, from a brain hemorrhage.
As a defense for male athletes, a mouthguard, an inguinal bandage and gloves specially designed for MMA, which allow you to freely move your fingers, act. The torso remains naked, and there are no shoes on the legs. Shin bandaging with an elastic bandage is allowed. Women, in addition to the above, use protective bras.
The strongest fighter in the history of MMA
And although it is difficult to objectively name the absolute record holder for MMA, few will argue that the most powerful fighter in the world is Anderson da Silva.
He was born in 1975 in Brazil. Silva's height is 188 cm, and he stands in the middle weight category. Before starting to fight in the ring of fights without rules, he went a long way, made a brilliant sports career. Silva has earned a black
belt in taekwondo and jujitsu, and he also has great Thai boxing skills. In a sports environment, he is known as the Spider. Anderson da Silva was lucky to sign a contract for MMA UFC. As an MMA fighter, he suffered only 4 defeats, and spent 35 fights.
The strongest fighter in the world is also a little showman. The fights with his participation are always very spectacular, like scenes from a movie, and the victories are very spectacular. Fans adore Silva for their unique style. Spider fights always promise to be a grand show.
