When you think about it, it only makes sense that MMA and mullets would get along famously. From its roots in vale tudo, no-holds-barred fighting has been about the combination of styles into an all-encompassing mixed martial art. Similarly, a truly successful mullet is a harmonious blend of two or more haircuts. Outside the cage or ring, the influences are there, as well. Martial arts films of the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s were an enormously formative influence on future mixed martial artists, as was the kissing-cousins relationship between professional wrestling and MMA. Along with showmanship and stylistic aspirations, chop-socky cinema and pro wrasslin’ brought with them a serious penchant for bi-level hairstyles.
