MMA IS MIXED MARTIAL ARTS.
I thought the same thing.
MMA stands for Mixed Martial Arts, and is an organized combat sport. Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a combat sport in which a wide variety of fighting techniques are used, including striking and grappling.
Modern mixed martial arts tournaments as a popular phenomenon emerged in 1993 with the Ultimate Fighting Championship, based on the concept of pitting different fighting styles against each other in competition with minimal rules in place, in an attempt to determine which system would be more effective in a real, unregulated combat situation. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, mixed martial arts events implemented additional rules for the safety of the athletes and to promote acceptance of the sport, while maintaining as much of the original no-holds-barred concept as possible. Since these changes, the sport has grown rapidly, to the point of setting pay-per-view records.
I think that the wrestling that you reference is the entertainment type that is choreographed and is solely for entertainment and not true competition. The participants, however, are very talented and and usually superb athletes.
