I don't see why NHB should redirect here. Even though they describe roughly the same concept, the two terms have different etymologies. Same as kickboxing and muay thai.
Probley because there is no NHB page, but there doesn't need to be because its a dead term. I think it was probley because many people think that Vale Tudo is the purer "No holds barred" sport than MMA.
[edit] Switching arts
I changed the paragraph about switching arts. It read that they used X, Y, and Z for a base, but sometimes for variety they will use X, Y, and Z instead of A, B, C. I reversed them so it is clear that you are switching something else for what is already used.

[edit] Origin
No mention is made of Vale tudo's origin as a television show in Brazil, before it's adoption as a independent martial art.
- VT is not technically an MA but a rules set/style of fight in a similar way to MMA, also I think NHB may redirect here as it is the Brazilian/Portuguese equivalent term --Nate1481 05:24, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
