Methods: A non-systematic literature review was conducted to search for articles related to history, physiology and training of Mixed Martial Arts and other Martial Arts such as Judo, Wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu, and Karate. A review on aerobic, anaerobic, strength and power training was also conducted and directly related to Mixed Martial Arts training. Results: There is scarce scientific information about training methods and physiological responses to specific efforts in Mixed Martial Arts. Many studies were reviewed and meaningful information on physiology and training were summarized for application in Mixed Martial Arts. Conclusion: The present study provides a review on important physiology and training aspects for successful preparation of Mixed Martial Arts athletes. Keywords: Combat sports, Mixed Martial Arts training, Mixed Martial Arts Physiology. INTRODUCTION Martial arts have been practiced since 5000 BC and have lately been defined as defensive and offensive combat systems with or without weapons [1]. The Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a combat sport originated from ancient fighting techniques dating from 649 BC [2]. In the modern era, MMA resurged from Vale-tudo events in the early 90’s promoted by Masters Carlos and Helio Gracie. Currently, the event called Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has been attracting thousands of fans worldwide, especially after the implementation of the current rules in 2009. The growth of MMA is unquestionably a great phenomenon recently observed in combat sports [3]
