do lots of male mma fighters shave their legs like wrestlers and football players do?

I can't say I have seen many that I know shave.
I myself have been shaving my entire body for several years now. Not for MA reasons but because I don't like being as hairy as I am (pretty much as shaggy as Robin Williams). 
I think shaving looks better as well. Helps show off the defined muscles you get with intense MA training IMO.

I haven't heard of anyone doing this except swimmers. Do you know why other athletes do it?

| i have "heard" some people do it so they can get out of arm bars/leg locks, etc easier...but im sure most of it is just cosmetic. |

What is weird about shaving your legs and body? Most women I know these days would rather a man be smooth than super hairy. 
I would not have shaved my body except I fall in the later catagory and I am always hot and less body hair seems to help me stay cool especially in summer.

I shave before a fight, because there is a lot of "incidental" hairpulling while grappling.

Interesting topic. I would never shave my legs. I would feel like a little boy again. LOL

hmm... i have been shaving since i was about 11 long ago..
it does keep you cooler during hot days, it helps the sweat to
run off easier when you are running miles in a plastic sack.. 
and the ladiez seem to like it nowadayz  so it all works out
for the best
