The popularity of MMA, especially the UFC, has now resulted in the UFC being mentioned when discussing any combat sport. MMA began with a specialist in a single discipline, gradually learning other disciplines. However, with the MMA popularity, a new generation of fighters are studying MMA from the beginning, and not a single discipline. Wrestlers have dominated in MMA recently. However, recently, strikers with good takedown defense are rising up to the challenge.

Edwards and O’Malley defeated long-reigning champions Aljamain Sterling and Kamaru Usman, who are predominant wrestlers.
