Abstract
This study, through a systematic review, analyzed scientific production
concerning sport psychology in mixed martial arts. The review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA statement, and
the search was performed using the S ciELO, ScienceDirect, PsycInfo, and Web
of Science databases. Of the 79 studies screened, eight
satisfied the eligibility criteria, with explicit addressal of the topics of
fear, aggression, emotional control, confidence, mental toughness, motivation,
arousal, coping, rational emotive behavioral therapy for MMA athletes, fighting
experience and MMA competition. Consequently, the scarce scientific production
was found to evidence the need for further research in this
modality. It is suggested that studies that investigate other variables of
sport psychology such as mood, anxiety, and burnout.
