An ultimate guide to dating an MMA fan: things you need to know

Posted on November 1, 2021 by A. J. Riot

So you’ve finally succumbed to the allure of digital dating after recommendations by friends to try uniform dating site and have received your first ‘wink.’ Checking your profile page, you’ve discovered this same person has added a ‘like.’ When you check them out, their photo causes your pulse to quicken, while their personality seems friendly and flirty. You begin exchanging direct messages via the site’s secure communication channel. Then you discover their main passion is MMA. How do you cope with finding out your potential partner is a huge martial arts fan? Here’s what you need to know about meeting an MMA aficionado on a men dating site.

Get used to sharing their affections!

When you accompany your new partner to one of their events, you’ll need to develop a thick skin! MMA is a popular sport that attracts a diverse range of spectators, drawn to the excitement of the bouts. There is quite a social scene associated with these events, with particular combatants gaining mini armies of supporters. Because many of the individuals you will find yourself mixing with are of the same age demographic, you will inevitably be in the company of singles. So get used to your significant other being in a position where others are going to be looking in their direction, sometimes flirting.

Ensure your passport is up-to-date

MMA is booming across the world, especially in countries like the USA, Singapore, and South Africa, which were amongst the first to legalize competitions. It also has a large following in the UK, Republic of Ireland, and across Europe. When you start dating an MMA fan, they aren’t going to be content with attending local venues. They will get a taste of travelling to catch the big names in major contests. This will mean adding exotic new destinations to your itinerary. But is that such a bad thing?!

Be prepared for trauma

To the uninitiated, MMA fighting can come across as an often brutal way of pugilists engaging. It embraces elements of judo, Thai boxing, jujitsu, karate, wrestling, and boxing. There will be crunching blows being landed, and a lot of blood. If you are a little squeamish, witnessing these furious encounters can be somewhat unsettling, to say the least. But the important thing to get your head around is the aforementioned influences are all sports that are heavily regulated. People do get hurt – that’s the nature of fighting – but unlike ugly street brawls, umpires are watching over the engagements, and crucially, the opponents always respect each other. Once you can see beyond the violence, you’ll begin appreciating the sporting aspect.

Health and physicality

MMA fighters need to be in prime condition to be able to perform to their best abilities. This means regular training sessions, including spending time at the gym developing stamina and building muscles. This has a habit of rubbing off on the fans who follow their every move. So if you are dating an MMA fan, there is every likelihood they aren’t going to be a couch potato! Rather, they’ll seek to emulate the guys they relish watching in the cage. They might be more inspired than your average Joe to look after their health.

Bask in the moment

Even if going to cage fights is a new experience, you are likely to find yourself getting drawn into the occasion very quickly. These bouts are undeniably exciting, and they can become quite addictive. From being an apprehensive onlooker you might easily be overcome by the passion of the crowd. You’ll soon succumb to the adrenaline-charged atmosphere!
