UFC’s first event, UFC 1, happened on November 12, 1993. Traditionally, every UFC event starts off with early prelims / the preliminary card followed by a principal / main card, together with the last fight being known as the principal / main event.

Fight Night Viewing - TV and Live Streams

Numbered events, currently broadcasting on pay-per-view, with some exceptions. UFC events are available to view on 7 main channels:

  1. ESPN
  2. Fox
  3. Fight Night
  4. The Ultimate Fighter Finale
  5. FX
  6. Fuel TV
  7. UFC Live

Most of these ”numbered” events have happened on pay-per-view, but there have been several exceptions for reasons like tape delay. Occasions like UFC 72, which took place in Belfast, Northern Ireland, U.K., were marketed on pay-per-view, but due to tape delay, buy rates were not as large as events that aired during a traditional starting time.

Also, some UFC bookmakers are able to live stream the events and when they do you can find the links here at oddspedia.

UFC History

The Ultimate Fighting Championship was created in 1993 by the Brazilian Rorion Gracie and two of his jiu-jitsu students, the publicist Art Davie and the filmmaker John Milius. Before we talk about the origin of the UFC, it is necessary to take a short trip to Japan. While the challenges between fighting modalities took place in Brazil, in Japan there was also a movement toward a fighting modality that integrated the most diverse fighting styles. Led by pro-wrestling exponents like Akira Maeda and Masakatsu Funaki, the Japanese started organising fights with real submission techniques, and in the 90s Funaki founded Pancrase, a fighting organisation that allowed open-handed blows and kicks when both fighters were standing.

Returning to the Brazilian Rorion Gracie, his intention was, in fact, to publicise and promote jiu-jitsu as a martial art in the United States and in the process, attract the attention of new students. On November 12, 1993, the first edition of the UFC was held in the city of Denver, Colorado (USA). The championship brought together 8 fighters of different martial arts, such as jiu-jitsu, boxing, kickboxing and sumo, ending with the victory of the Brazilian Royce Gracie. Over the years and decades that followed, the rules of the UFC were greatly modified. Check out all the details of this evolution below!

Rules

At the beginning of the UFC, there were not many rules like there are today, as decreed by the competition promoter SEG. Initially, the UFC was regarded as a value-for-money event, and so only a few things were forbidden - fingers in the eyes, bites, trying to rip the mouth out with your fingers and other extreme actions. 

Fight Duration

At UFC events non-title Fights must have 3 rounds whereas Title Fights must have 5 rounds. Rounds are 5 minutes long and, finally, between each round, there must be a rest period of 1 minute.

Rules of the Octagon

Here are just some of the prohibited and punishable actions of a fighter in a UFC fight:

  • Headbutt
  • Biting
  • Pulling hair
  • Blows to the groin area
  • Placing your finger in orifices or cuts/wounds on your opponent
  • Manipulation of the joints
  • Hitting the spine or the nape of the opponent
  • Hitting the throat in any way, including tightening the trachea
  • Grabbing, pinching or twisting the opponent's skin
  • Hitting the opponent's clavicle

If the fighter violates some of the aforementioned rules, it may result in the deduction of 1 point in the calculation of the round score awarded by the judge.

Ways to Win

There are many ways to win the UFC fight

  • Tap out - The fighter hits the tatami, indicating that he can no longer continue
  • Retire - The coach throws the towel in the ring;
  • KO - The Fighter is knocked out
  • TKO - the judge decides he can no longer continue;
  • Rule Violation - The fighter violates the rules - Illegal hits and so on
  • Judges' Decision - the Fight ends without a winner so the event is decided by the judges' scorecards

Women in the UFC

Today, women in the UFC are already consolidated by categories in the world of martial arts. When Strikeforce was acquired by the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Ronda Rousey (USA) became the first woman in the UFC. The North American woman was the organisation's first heavyweight champion in 2012 and made her Octagon debut on February 23, 2013. In her first fight, she beat Liz Carmouche in the first round with an arm wrench.  

Acting as inspiration, Ronda Rousey helped bring more female fighters to the UFC and started leveraging the female MMA. In 2018, Ronda became the first woman to join the UFC Hall of Fame. Two Brazilian women who are at the top of the UFC at this time are Claudinha Gadelha and the incredible Amanda Nunes both of whom fight for the strawweight.
