The Sport Performance Summit

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is the largest mixed martial arts promotion company in the world which hosts all of the top-ranked fighters in the sport and produces events worldwide. Based in the United States, the UFC has nine weight divisions and enforces the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts.The UFC has held over 250 events. Dana White serves as the president of the UFC while brothers Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta control the UFC’s parent company, Zuffa, LLC.

The first UFC event was held on November 12, 1993 in Denver, Colorado. The purpose of the event was to identify the most effective martial art in a real fight between competitors of different fighting disciplines, including Boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Sambo, Wrestling, Muay Thai, Karate, Judo, and other styles. In subsequent competitions, fighters began adopting effective techniques from more than one discipline, which indirectly helped create an entirely separate style of fighting known as present-day mixed martial arts.
