The UFC organization and history
The UFC, which manages over 578 fighters across 11 weight divisions, operates as an American mixed martial arts promotion based in the Las Vegas area. TKO Group Holdings owns the company. Dana White leads the organization as president and CEO. The organization produces events worldwide and follows the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts. The company began in 1993 at the McNichols Sports Arena in Denver, Colorado. Founders Art Davie, Rorion Gracie, and John Milius started the organization. The Octagon, an eight sided arena with a chain link fence, is the signature setting for these fights. Jason Cusson designed the Octagon to differentiate the events from professional boxing and professional wrestling. The first Superfight at UFC 5 was generally considered a disappointment. The UFC has held over 750 events to date. Dana White has been president since 2001. The UFC signed a 7-year, US$7.7 billion deal with Paramount Skydance in 2025. The UFC was initially owned by SEG until the company sold it to the Fertitta brothers in 2001. They formed the company Zuffa to operate the promotion. In 2016, the parent company Zuffa sold to a group led by Endeavor. Endeavor later bought out the other owners for $1.7 billion in 2021. The UFC merged with the wrestling promotion WWE in 2023 to form TKO Group Holdings. The organization remains the largest MMA promotion in the world. The first event in 1993 included fighters like Ken Shamrock and Patrick Smith. Royce Gracie’s submission skills proved the most effective during that tournament. He earned the first championship after submitting Jimmerson, Shamrock, and Gordeano.
