Ever since the Roman Empire, people have been attending and enjoying watching violence with large crowds just as it was at the Colosseum. With combat sports, we love the thrill of the match between two warriors. In my opinion, MMA is the most ruthless combat sport of them all; because it combines the fighting styles of Boxing, Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, and Wrestling. UFC is currently the largest MMA platform to exist, with the largest PPV event sales in the world. In this article, we will discuss how that happened.
The UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) started in 1993 as a mixed-martial arts (MMA) organization. This company was inspired from the Greek Olympic Game of Pankration, which was essentially Boxing mixed with wrestling starting in 648 B.C. In the 1920’s Vale Tudo became popular in Brazil, which was bare-knuckle fighting. Later on the sport came to the United States under the guise of the UFC in 1993, founded by Art Davie.
The competitive goal of the UFC was to find the best fighter in North America. It’s a championship tournament in which fighters of different style disciplines rival to win the Championship Belt. The sport has birthed many famous athletes such as Conor McGregor, Chuck Liddell, Ronda Rousey, and Anderson Silva. UFC has gotten so popular in recent years that it might overtake the popularity of Boxing sometime soon. It truly is probably the most entertaining sport to watch.
The UFC is now broadcasting in over 160 countries, to over 1 billion households worldwide. The brand has expanded to great heights and will continue to do so under the leadership of the President of UFC, Dana White. The UFC has the most efficient medical policies for injury prevention to ensure that athletes don’t suffer severe damages for the years to come.
