For the first time in ESPYS history, mixed martial arts will have its own category. On Wednesday, ESPN announced the awards show will no longer lump boxing and MMA into one “ESPY Best Fighter” category. Instead, the two sports will be split into “ESPY Best Boxer” and “ESPY Best MMA Fighter.” The 2019 ESPYS take place at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Wednesday, July 10, airing live on ABC beginning at 8 p.m. ET
