MMA fights are indeed exciting and full of adrenaline rush. Fans suggest that it is one of those sports in which one cannot keep on sitting and watching the games. The roots of MMA had originated in Australia, as a crossing of multidisciplinary sports, from traditional martial arts to wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Kickboxing.
However, the enthusiastic sport found its place among the Kiwis and was recognized as a legal sport in March 2016 with a governing body in New Zealand, ‘The New Zealand Mixed Martial Arts Federation (NZMMAF).’ The NZMMAF has also issued safety protocols and laws for ensuring the safety of the fighters.
MMA fighting brought with it a positive surge in the betting industry, where Kiwis love to wager on their trusted players such as Adesanya, Hooker, etc. Moreover, the MMA players have also occupied significant status in society. Players like Adesanya have also used their stardom to stand against the evils of racism, promoted by the New Zealand bureaucracy. Check the most popular NZ fighters below:
