There are many different kinds of martial arts around the world. These disciplines have often been proud that they are the best. To end all the disputes, the Ultimate Fighting Championship, or UFC, has been established. The UFC has been promoting fights between different disciplines for many years. There are competitors that have won the tournament through knockouts. Others gained their victory by submission. Regardless of the cause of victory, the winner always stands proud. He knows that his skills were enough to defeat his opponent. The level of competition is what excites both the fighters and the crowd.
Many competitors in the UFC are looking to end their bouts early so that they will have lesser damage. These fighters go for solid blows to different parts of the body so that the opponent would wear down. Cuts are normal in the UFC since most hits come to the face. There are times when both competitors are covered with blood but still have the strength to continue the battle. To ensure that fair play is observed, a referee is delegated inside the match area. The fighters will need to follow rules related to eye gouging and hitting the groin area or else they will be reprimanded and have points deducted.
Submission is a technique wherein a fighter locks down an enemy’s limb to cause great pain. Those who have weaker hand-to-hand combat skills go for submission moves to make their enemies tap out. Thus, training for UFC battles involve practicing counter-measures against submission holds. The strongest fighters would succumb to a submission hold if they are applied properly. The UFC recognizes that strategy is also important in the battles thus they get fighters in various weight classes. The smaller fighters can match up with their same class and win in either a knockout or a submission.
