A person who competes in MMA takes less punches then a boxer does during a pro fight. The guy on the ground often rolls with the punches causing them to glance, they don't land flush, if they do the fight is normally over quickly. Understanding the strategies might help. Mixed martial arts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | I'm not going to debate how mentally and physically tough MMA fighters are and how well they can handle the stress. That's COMPLETELY irrelevant when it comes to looking seriously at the worth of watching such a "sport".
