UFC 1.Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a
U.S.-based
mixed martial arts (MMA) organization, currently recognized as the largest MMA promotion in the world. The UFC is headquartered in
Las Vegas, Nevada and is owned and operated by
Zuffa, LLC.The UFC was started as a tournament to find the world's best fighters irrespective of their style, and was based upon
Brazilian vale tudo fighting. Although there was a limited number of rules, the UFC was initially known as no holds barred fighting and contests were often violent and brutal. Early UFC fights were less sport than spectacle, which led to accusations of brutality and "human
cockfighting" by opponents. Political pressures eventually led the UFC into the underground, as
pay-per-view providers nixed UFC programming, nearly extinguishing the UFC's public visibility.
