Space MMA.
Free fall martial arts will become the next big thing, in a sphere w/ large padded columns criss crossing it. It'll be great for viewer consumption: Hight tech pre-fight shows involving the fighters launching into space and whatnot, and during the fight, any blood shed will just float around the ring in little blobs. The moves will be crazy, the personas even crazier...
...and in the end, grappling will become the standard free fall martial art.
Unless the whole thing trends more towards space boxing with magnetic boots.

More likely, it'll be weapons based MMA that gains ground.

On a serious note, I think the MMA craze is just starting... I mean, its 2009 and we've only had what? 3 movies about MMA? We need at least four sequels to "Never Back Down" before we're done with this craze

The irony is, had he known the cosmic fighting method before the aliens came, they could never have abducted him. How often our ignorance leads us to a figurative anal probing. The First Lesson of the cosmic fighting is that our ignorance can also lead us to a literal anal probing.
The Second Lesson of cosmic fighting is that there is no true pain for he with a scientifically unremarkable anus.
The Third Lesson of Cosmic Fighting is that all life is made up of remarkable arses and unremarkable arses, and they are called The Petals of The Great Brown Flower.
The aura of the cosmic fighter rises up from these principles, matched with the cosmic guidelines:
1) Cosmic fight fair
2) Wash your uniform
3) Bottled Water is $2.00
4) Cash, grass, or ass: Nobody trains for free!

After the UFC merges with WWE and tag team MMA becomes history promoters will scramble to find the next big thing, like group fights, weapons matches, android & cyborg battles.
Ex-Wives vs New Brides will be a big hit on the Internet Entertainment website for a brief time.
The craze on the streets (read: strip mall schools) will be the ethnic arts when everyone lays claim to some ancient African Martial Arts, old Irish Drunken Fighting, Aztec Grappling, Apache Hand Battling, Easter Island Sumo and Canadian ***** Slap.
Stem Cell research will eventually lead us to Eye-4N-Eye matches held around the world by offering replacement body parts for every fighter so matches using live weapons will be the top of the line entertainment.

SevenStar: It's hilarious seeing people's reactions when they see a big, black dude with a sword walking toward them.
Masterkiller: Especially when they're at the ATM.
WTF? How did we go from the White Haired Devil strangling and beating guys to death in a teahouse, to Mr Miyagi and Jhoon Rhee?

I think we will eventually see some nice contact weapons competitions. We are probably 30 years out from that, however.
It's not a martial art but hopefully we are only a few years out from getting a real "Running Man" game.
