Ultimate Fighting Championship

UFC - About the Event

UFC is the ultimate fighting championship. It is an almost no holds barred event that challenges all comers to practice their martial arts skills against each other in a real street fight setting. A few have come away victorious. Most have discovered that their years of training have done them no good.

It's interesting to note, that these trained black belt martial artists and kung fu masters, once engaged in a real fight, are reduced to children's wrestling and basic slap and kicks.

UFC is an event that challenges different types of martial arts and combines them together in a ring. You can see different types of styles such as Jiu-Jitsu, Karate, Ninjitsu, Judo, Tae Kwon Do, Kungfu, Muay Thai, Shootfighting, Judo and much more. Some of the remembered fighters are Ken Shamrock the first champion of UFC, Gracie Royce who was well known for ability to lock fighters in submissions. Although UFC was very graphic and very real, it was really popular with paper-view and live showings. Below describes the first 3 UFC Events.

UFC The Beginning

In November of 1993, an event took place which would redefine the martial arts community. This event was known as the Ultimate Fighting Championship, an idea conceived by a number of people, including Robert Meyrowitz, Rorion Gracie, and Art Davie.

This event featured eight martial artists of different styles and experience in a winner take all tournament. The event was billed as having no rules and was the first of its kind in North America. This unique event did in fact have two rules (no biting or eye-gouging), and took place in The Octagon, an eight-sided ring based on the ideas of a Hollywood producer.

The fighters who competed where relative unknowns, with a variety of styles from Karate to Japanese Shootfighting. The favorites to win the event where Ken Shamrock, a well built shootfighter who had made a name for himself in Japan and Pat Smith, a brash and cocky kickboxer. However, the man who stole the show, and also revealed a new style of fighting to North Americans was Royce Gracie, a lanky lightweight fighter who represented Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, a groundfighting style modified and perfected by the Gracie family in Brazil.

The event was billed has having no rules, however, several rules were present, including no biting and no eye gouging. There were also rounds of ten minutes, but since no match came close to this time, the rounds were inconsequential.

This event showed the world what the martial arts where really about and triggered the explosion of mixed martial arts events around the globe.

UFC No Way Out

UFC 2 was a very interesting departure from the first UFC. There were several changes from the first event, including an expansion of the tournament to 16 fighters, meaning that the winner would have to succeed in four fights in one night. The event was full of fighters representing many various fighting styles, from Karate and Kung Fu, to Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, to Muay Thai and Penchak Silat.

There were a large number of strikers and mismatches in the group of 16, which resulted in many very quick and brutal matches. Interestingly enough, more fights were ended by submission than by strikes, proving that in the early days of the event, even a little bit of groundfighting experience was necessary for survival in the Octagon.

There were several returning fighters, including UFC 1 champion and favorite to win Royce Gracie, Pat Smith and the two men who fought in a qualifying match in UFC 1, Jason Delucia and Trent Jenkins.

The only major rule change was the elimination of rounds in the fights, since they were deemed unnecessary after the short fights of the first event.

Surprisingly, only one alternate was needed in the main draw as Fred Ettish was substituted for Frank Hammaker, who broke his hand in his preliminary round win against Thaddeus Luster.

UFC The American Dream

In UFC 3, the event once again returned to its original format of an eight man tournament. Royce Gracie, who had now gained notoriety as being unstoppable after cruising through the first two events, would face his biggest challenge to date, Kimo, in one of the more infamous matches in UFC history. Another match which has also gained fame was between Keith Hackney and the largest man to ever step inside the Octagon, American amateur Sumo Emmanuel Yarbrough, who measured 6'8" and weighed 668lbs. This match was the first in a long night of injuries and controversy.

Another anomaly which occurred at this event was the situation concerning the alternates. For the first and only time in the history of the event, an alternate fighter stepped in and won the event. In fact, both alternate fighters were utilized, and a third could have been used. After the quarter finals, Hackney injured his hand in his fight against Yarbrough and was forced out, prompting Felix Lee Mitchell to fight Ken Shamrock in the semis. Also after the first round, Gracie was forced to withdraw due to an injury and fatigue. However, had he just stayed in the locker room and withdrawn (like most fighters do), then Harold Howard would have fought Jennum in the semis. Since Gracie actually came to the ring and then threw in the towel before the fight started, Howard got a bye to the finals. If Gracie had followed procedure, then the winner of Shamrock vs. Mitchell and Howard vs. Jennum would have fought for the title.

In the semis, Shamrock was able to defeat Mitchell, but in the process got injured (and had also lost his chance with a fight against Gracie, the man who beat him in UFC 1), so he pulled out, leaving Howard to face the alternate Jennum in the finals. Again, had Gracie followed the usual way of doing things, then it would have been the winner of Howard vs. Jennum against a third alternate in the finals. This did not occur, and Jennum went on to win.

UFC 3 also marked the first time the event was held outside of Colorado, as Charlotte, NC was the host venue for the event.

UFC - Humble beginnings to Pay Per View Mega Hit!

The Ultimate Fighting Championships began in 1993. It redefined what martial arts was all about. It set in motion, the battleground for the karate community, where fighters from all backgrounds could come together and test their art, mano o mano, man vs man against the best, all trained in different arts. Set aside was the facade, the smoke screens and the mystique behind each art, and now naked before you was the basic street fighter!

In the fist UFC 1, Royce Gracie made Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu famous with his tacticful ground fighting. He didn't have much in the way of kicks or punches, but his expert Jujitsu skills and joint locking techniques beat them all that day. Royce Gracie would go on to win many more events in the events to come. Eventually, the fighters learned to guard against the Gracie Guard and with their combination mixed martial arts skills, punching power and power kicks, Joyce Gracie would be later dethroned.
