UFC 1 (The Beginning)

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (later renamed UFC 1: The Beginning) was the first mixed martial arts event by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), held at the McNichols Sports Arena in Denver, Colorado, on November 12, 1993. 

The event exploded on fight fans screens across the globe.  A no-holds-barred tournament of martial arts champions.  Masters in the skills of boxing, jiu-jitsu, kung-fu, sumo and more.  Eight men fighting in single elimination to find one lone champion.  Bar knuckle.  Locked inside a steel octagon.  No rules.  No weight limits. No referee.

UFC 1: The Beginning pioneered the interstylistic match-ups between the practitioners of different martial arts, and set the pattern for the future sporting events of the kind.
