Great Gifts For People Who Love MMA

By Rod Bourgoine


When it comes to giving gifts, it's always best to find something that complements the lifestyle or hobbies of your recipient. If a spouse or friend or relative is a huge fan of MMA or perhaps trains at an MMA gym, then by all means consider giving them the gift of MMA this holiday season.

Obviously, if your loved one is someone who already works out at a MMA gym or perhaps belongs to a boxing gym, boxing club or takes Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes, then buying special gear is always a great idea. You could get anything from fight shorts and a rash guard to gloves or boxing shoes or other equipment they might need. Some companies also offer gift cards so your recipient can select exactly what they want and need.

There are also lots of great MMA-related books that might make a fun gift. You could check out titles by Anderson Silva, BJ Penn, Georges St.-Pierre and Randy Couture. Some books are instructional guides and others motivational or autobiographical. Bruce Lee also wrote several books, which can be very motivational. There are also quite a few good MMA periodicals that would make a good gift. Magazines such as Ultimate MMA Magazine or Fight Magazine are just a few that might make your gift recipient happy.

Another fun option would be to start up a collection of MMA DVDs for your loved one. There are several excellent MMA movies, most notably "Warrior," which is a great movie all by itself, but definitely a must-see for MMA fans. A few other titles include "Redbelt," which is about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, "Bloodsport," and "Fight Club." Bruce Lee is often considered to be the father of MMA, so purchasing a few of his great films also would be good idea. Consider "Fist of Fury," and "Enter the Dragon," or even purchase the series "The Green Hornet," which stars Lee in his famous role of Kato.

If your recipient is a kid, you could consider a gift such as an MMA action figure. UFC has a whole collectors' series of action figures which actually could be a gift for a child or someone who collects action figures in general. Huge wall decals featuring UFC stars also are available and can be a lot of fun for a kid or teen who loves MMA and UFC. There are huge decals of Anderson Silva, BJ Penn, Chuck Liddell, Jon Jones, Georges St.-Pierre and many more fan favorites.

Tickets to a fight are another good gift idea. UFC, King of the Cage and Bellator host fights throughout the year at many venues around the United States. If you can't score a ticket to one of these events, there are many smaller local fight organizations that are fun to attend where you can watch some great up-and-coming fighters duel in the cage. If your friend or spouse is a fan of a particular type of marital art, such as Judo or Muay Thai, consider purchasing a ticket to an event specific to that art. Virtually every mid-size to large city offers a variety of fight event options for you to consider.
