Over het evenement

Over dit evenement

The event that started it all. UFC 1 was conceived to answer the question: which martial art is truly the most effective? Eight fighters from different disciplines competed in a single-night tournament with virtually no rules. Royce Gracie won the tournament using Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, shocking the combat sports world.
Achtergrond

Betekenis

The founding moment of modern MMA. UFC 1 was designed to pit different martial arts styles against each other to find the most effective discipline. Royce Gracie's dominant tournament victory using Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu — submitting larger opponents from disciplines including boxing, kickboxing and wrestling — proved the effectiveness of ground fighting and changed combat sports forever. Every MMA gym, every BJJ school, and every fighter who cross-trains today owes something to this event.
