cage fighting

Enclosed martial combat

Cage fighting is a combat sport where opponents fight inside an enclosed arena, typically a chain-link octagon.

The term usually refers to mixed martial arts (MMA), which combines striking and grappling techniques from various disciplines.

The cage prevents fighters from falling out of the ring and creates a contained space for ground fighting: He went from street brawls to professional cage fighting.
