TXMMA: Our Mission
Texas Mixed Martial Arts is meant to be a portal for the new and exciting sport of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) in the state of Texas.ÿ We would like to be the Internet home for Texas MMA fighters, trainers, promoters, and fans alike.
Right now the sport of MMA in Texas is still developing, and it will take a concerted effort to bring full closed-fist regulated MMA (similar to New Jersey and Nevada) to the state.ÿ Texas’ current Pancrase-style rules with open-hand strikes have proven to be unappealing to the mainstream public, and thus limits promoters’ ability to run successful shows.ÿ This regulatory situation and its impact on the appeal of MMA in the state has thus far stifled the development of both MMA promotions and fighters in Texas.
It will take a concerted effort to help get modern closed-fist Mixed Martial Arts legislation passed in Texas.ÿ This will be the major milestone that will be the first step in breaking out the sport of MMA in the state.ÿ This website is devoted to helping the process along, first and foremost by creating a community for everyone in the Texas MMA scene to interact and congregate in.
