MFC 19: Long Time Coming was a mixed martial arts event held by the Maximum Fighting Championship (MFC) on December 5th, 2008 in Enoch, Alberta. [1] [2]
Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a full-contact combat sport that allows striking and grappling, both standing and on the ground, using techniques from various combat sports and martial arts. The first documented use of the term mixed martial arts was in a review of UFC 1 by television critic Howard Rosenberg in 1993. The term gained popularity when newfullcontact.com, then one of the largest websites covering the sport, hosted and republished the article. The question of who actually coined the term is subject to debate.
