Would God disapprove of a professional mixed martial arts career?
Negatives
There is some violence in it.
People can become seriously injured in worst case.
Positives:
People in martial arts have more career options
People enter because they want to they are free to choose
There is a chance to make decent money
It promotes martial arts which most people see as a good thing
It provides alot of entertainment
It is an opportunity to take a Christian attitude to the sport
I'm kind of torn whether it is right field to enter or if it is against God's will.

I say go for it. It's becoming very popular. It's safer than boxing (proven) and - I like the idea of bringing a Christian attitude to the sport.
I watch it all of the time.

It's up to you. A friend of mine stopped learning karate because it has Hindu roots. If you can reconcile the idea of defeating an individual physically with the Christian faith, then go ahead.

There seems to be no specific Bible passage that address your issue, so far as I know.
I practice MMA for fun & exercise, but isn't it bad for your body in the long run to get beat up professionally?

I know a pastor that teaches Tai Kwan Do. A person can learn it, and not believe in the spiritual part of it.
