According to respectable speculation, somewhere in ancient Mesopotamia around the 5,000's B.C. or probably a little before that. According to what is considered myth, believe it or not same location, but before Noah's flood; the first "mixed Martial Arts" match was in fact between Cain and Abel, according to Hebrew tradition. Believe it or not Abel won that fight, its part of what got Cain so incensed; the moment Abel turned around, Cain smashed his head with a rock, killing him with a "sucker" blow. Hebrew mythology wise its true; in ancient times there was a persistent tradition, that Abel in fact won a violent Wrestling match against Cain, Abel was not the weakling he is portrayed to be in most Genesis movies.
