Who Really invented Mixed Martial Arts?

[cakegirl]

MMA was invented by me when I was playing soccer and trying to overcome my lack of foot-eye coordination.

I would say it was invented by a bunch of homo sapiens scrapping with a bunch of Neanderthals. They were allowed to use rocks and clubs then too, so current MMA rules are actually relatively restrictive.

I agree with jonbey. when man is at war, everything goes so why separate and put rules when there is no need for that. Olympic Pankration had rules as a competition among Greek cities, the Spartans allowed what wasn't allowed at the national Olympics in their pankration competitions (biting and eye-gouging). So I think MMA as a sport was created by ancient Greeks in the form of Pankration as boxing and wrestling competitions already existed. I am not sure about MMA in ancient Egypt though.

Might explain why there were only 300 of them left to fight off the Persians

They proved to be enough !
Pankration and boxing were much tougher than what boxing and MMA are today, still both the Romans and the Spartans regarded them as mere recreation.
