The aim of this study is to identify and analyze the social representations of leading professional MMA fighters on the developing of the MMA phenomenon in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The data has been gathered through semi-structured individual interviews. The study is justified by the impact of MMA in Brazil and in the world. Its most expressive event is the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). This event holds close relation to wrestling at No Holds Barred events. In the first chapter, Mixed martial arts, fight for affirmation and market the fight , we analyze the context of No Holds Barred wrestling through oral history technique and identify influence indexes of No Holds Barred wrestling onto MMA. In the second chapter, we interviewed professional wrestlers who present us with a narrative of the creation of No Holds Barred wrestling in Rio de Janeiro and report us their participation in the creation of No Holds Barred wrestling. The third chapter is on the Considerations on MMA rules , in which the controversies over the 2017 changes are highlighted. The assumption here presented that MMA is in a transitioning period on the context of identification is verified in the conclusions of this study
