Book Description
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is an international phenomenon, with a fascinatingly diverse and complex history that stems from fighting sports around the world. In Mixed Martial Arts: A History from Ancient Fighting Sports to the UFC, L.A. Jennings explores the vast global history of martial arts—including Asian martial arts, African fighting sports, European pugilism and wrestling, and the fighting styles of North, Central, and South Americas—and how they gave rise to the modern sport of MMA. Jennings shares some of the most famous moments in fighting history alongside stories of the fighters themselves, such as the infamous 1976 fight between Muhammad Ali and Antonio Inoki. When the Ultimate Fighting Championship premiered in 1993, it introduced the world to the controversial “cage fighting” at a scale never seen before. With the assistance of technological innovations and globalization, MMA has become the fastest growing sport on earth, the culmination of thousands of years of fighting for sport. Featuring fascinating stories and photographs of fighters from around the world, Mixed Martial Arts reveals the long and captivating history of this often-misunderstood sport.

Book Description
Ultimate Fighting Championship and the present and future of women's sports Mixed martial arts stars like Amanda Nunes, Zhang Weili, and Ronda Rousey have made female athletes top draws in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Jennifer McClearen charts how the promotion incorporates women into its far-flung media ventures and investigates the complexities surrounding female inclusion. On the one hand, the undeniable popularity of cards headlined by women add much-needed diversity to the sporting landscape. On the other, the UFC leverages an illusion of promoting difference—whether gender, racial, ethnic, or sexual—to grow its empire with an inexpensive and expendable pool of female fighters. McClearen illuminates how the UFC's half-hearted efforts at representation generate profit and cultural cachet while covering up the fact it exploits women of color, lesbians, gender non-conforming women, and others. Thought provoking and timely, Fighting Visibility tells the story of how a sports entertainment phenomenon made difference a part of its brand—and the ways women paid the price for success.

Book Description
UFC 286 was a mixed martial arts event that took place on December 10, 2016, at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The main event of the night was a title fight between Demetrious Johnson and Tim Elliott for the UFC Flyweight Championship. Johnson was the reigning champion and was considered one of the best fighters in the world at the time. Elliott, on the other hand, was a former competitor in The Ultimate Fighter reality television series and was seen as a significant underdog. The co-main event of the night was a highly anticipated rematch between The Ultimate Fighter winner, Joseph Benavidez, and Henry Cejudo. The two fighters had previously faced off in December 2015, with Benavidez coming out on top. In the lead-up to the rematch, there was a lot of hype surrounding Cejudo, who had been training with legendary boxing coach Freddie Roach. However, Benavidez was determined to prove that he was still the superior fighter and was looking to secure another victory over his rival.
