The results of these refinements led to the establishment and gradual updating of The Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts, which eliminated most dirty pool, from head butts to fish-hooking, pile-driving, back-of-the-head striking, and just about anything else you’d see on a professional wrestling stage when the ref’s back is turned. While the UFC initially grew more laissez-faire after its first event, briefly allowing groin strikes (the guy from Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery gets hit with one of the most brutal seven-counts you’ll ever see), it quickly adopted more control in an effort to receive sanctioning from governing bodies around the U.S. The rules themselves were also refined over time. How Many Rounds Are There in a UFC Fight?.Over time, this was refined, and today, UFC fights are comprised of three or five five-minute rounds, depending on whether it’s a regular match, headliner, or championship bout. But there were no rounds, weight classes, or time limits in fact, this glaring weakness was only corrected after its fifth event, in which a Superfight was ruled a draw after more than a half-hour stalemate. There was a single ref within the octagon that commenced bouts and ruled the winner due to submission (read: a kind of crying uncle) or knockout.

Thus, Rorion Gracie, eponymous founder of Gracie Jiu-jitsu, and Dirty Harry director John Milius joined to produce the event. Davie took his idea to the founder of the video’s martial art, which would generously be called a New World hybrid of a Japanese style. Art Davie proposed a one-night tournament based on the concept, a one-on-one bracketed battle royale that would pit style against style and decide, once and for all, which martial art reigned supreme.

Bellator: What’s the Differenceīut all that is esoteric, and if you’re starting with the facts, it begins when an advertising exec saw a grainy video of Brazilian martial arts students beating up other students from different disciplines. But the genius of the Ultimate Fighting Championship is that it standardized a means of letting guys fight to find out which one and from where would be the best. In the 20th century, this was settled in world wars and in drunken fistfights in World Cup host cities. We associate martial arts with Asia, and wrestling with ancient Greece the Scots, their claymores and kilts and amateur boxing took shape in England. Fighting styles have evolved in every culture.
