Mixed martial arts in Mexico has become very popular in the 2000s, being one of the fastest growing sports in that country.

History

Traditional martial arts, from national ones such as lucha tarahumara (Tarahumara wrestling)[2] to those from other places such as judo, have shaped MMA in Mexico, along with other combat sports such as boxing and taekwondo, in which the country has stood out considerably.[3][4]

In November 2014, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) would hold its first event on Mexican soil with UFC 180 at the Mexico City Arena.[5] Tickets were sold out in just 8 hours, which is a record for the venue.[6][7]

Organizations

The major MMA organizations in Mexico are LUX Fight League,[8] Ultimate Warrior Challenge[9] and Budo Sento Championship.[10]

At the amateur level, The Federation of Mixed Martial Arts Equity and Fair Play, or Federación de Artes Marciales Mixtas Equidad y Juego Limpio, is the main governing body for the sport of MMA and the promotion of the sport in Mexico,[1] supported and recognized by the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation (IMMAF). Its current president is Ubaldo Marroquin.[11]

Television

The UFC is the most widely watched organization, and its events are broadcast live on Fox Sports at cable television; and also for the UFC Fight Pass streaming service.[12]
