What are Combat Sports?

A combat sport, or fighting sport, is a competitive contact sport, usually with one-on-one combat. Determining the winner depends on the particular contest's rules. In many fighting sports, a contestant wins by scoring more points than the opponent or by disabling the opponent. Mixed Martial Arts, Boxing, Wrestling, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu are examples of combat sports.
