MMA is the fastest growing sport in the U.S and it's popularity is growing worldwide too

In recent times the heavyweight champions of the Mixed Martial Arts sport, such as Tim Sylvia and Fedor Emelianenko have turned into heroes to young fans and celebrities in the streets.

These athletes train around the clock to get the strength and physique of bodybuilders and power-lifters with the skill of martial artists blackbelts.

The Bench Press of these athletes is amazing, with some lifting upwards of 600lbs to sculpt their powerful chests.

These modern day gladiators probably also use a Maglite to see in the dark :)
