These guys make their living at the most violent, brutal sport on earth, yet I've found that in general, MMA fighters are some of the coolest and humblest of people. Fedor, Couture, Wanderlei, Rampage, Griffin, Evans, GSP, Anderson Silva, Nogueira, Guida, Henderson, the list is endless of absolutely cool, humble people. Even women MMA fighters like Carano are absolute sweethearts. Is it the nature of the sport that allows them to leave their aggression and anger inside the ring? Or are they just naturally fearless people to start with?

99.9 percent of people are insecure. For a lot of men their insecurities and mean behavior are because they feel like they're somehow weak; or have something to prove. Hence the term 'short guy syndrome' Most guys suffer from some level of this.

That's why really big people are usually pretty laid back, they have less to prove. And its also why the smallest guy is usually the one picking the fight. He's usually the most insecure and has the most to prove.

I think MMA fighters, especially successful ones are so laid back because they show the world they're strong on a regular basis. As far as toughness goes MMA fighters have LESS to prove than anyone.

Like, what does "Tapout" have to do with UFC? Who's good fighters, all that kind of stuff. I'm only a teenage girl but I'm so interested! So can anyone fill me in? Thanks! :]

TapouT is probably the largest MMA clothing brand in North America. Many MMA fighters are sponsored by TapouT. A "tap out" is also a way to signal that one has had enough and wants to quit the fight, and does so by tapping his opponent or the mat. This is usually done when in a submission hold. The clothing brand took their name from the action.

The UFC is the largest MMA promotion in North America, and probably the world. Top fighters include Frank Mir, Brock Lesnar, Randy Couture, Rashad Evans, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Forrest Griffin, Thiago Silva, Lyoto Machida, Chuck Liddell, Wanderlei Silva, Keith Jardine, Rich Franklin, Dan Henderson, Nate Marquardt, Anderson Silva, Rousimar Palhares, Georges St-Pierre, Thiago Alves, Josh Koscheck, Marcus Davis, Karo Parisyan, BJ Penn, Kenny Florian, Sean Sherk, and Frankie Edgar.

Good fighters outside the UFC include Fedor Emelianenko (the top Heavyweight in the world), Josh Barnett, Andrei Arlovski, Benji Radach, Gregard Mousasi, Melvin Manhoef, Cung Le, Ricardo Arona, Aleksander Emelianenko, Mirko Crocop, Alistair Overeem, Antonio Silva, Urijah Faber, Miguel Torres, Robbie Lawler, Carlos Condit, Jens Pulver, Takanori Gomi, Shinya Aoki, Masakazu Imanari, and Renato "Babalu" Sobral.

There are also female fighters such as Cris "Cyborg" Santos, Tara Larosa, Shayna Baszler, Rosi Sexton, Gina Carano, Megumi Fuji, and Windy Tomomi.

You can find most of these fighters on Youtube, either in highlights or in full fights. The rules are different for some MMA organizations: some will allow you to kick, knee, or stomp the head of an opponent who is on the ground, some will outlaw elbows, some earlier matches were bare knuckle, some allowed head-butts, and so on. It's very tempting to sit here and give you a complete history of MMA, but that would take up too much time. I think I've given you a good start, please feel free to e-mail me with any more questions.
