I got a pair of TrekSports. Best thing Iv'e bought for my feet. I wear them EVERYWHERE. To the gym, the store, the movies, the beach, I dont give fuck what anyone thinks when they see me wearing them around. Probably the biggest issue I have with them is that you wear them without socks (although Vibram DOES sell special socks for them but I think they are like $12) but I just spray my feet with foot powder before i put them on. Dustin pretty much covered what they are supposed do. I think they are great for MMA fighters in the sense that they strenghten your feet, calves and legs overall. Since you get used to running on the balls of your feet, it becomes more natural for you stay on the balls of your feet during a fight. They look awesome and when they get dirty you just throw them in the washing machine.
