Although UFC started in Las Vegas, it is now enjoyed by international audiences around the world. However, true UFC fans all know that Las Vegas is the true home for the most intense sport in the world. To understand why this is the case, you need to first understand the history of UFC.
The UFC we all know today was started in 1993 as a mixed martial arts (MMA) organization. Today, the UFC has arguably revolutionized the fighting industry and regularly racks up record numbers of spectators and pay per view (PPV) events. The history of competitive fighting is extremely long — in ancient Greece a game called Pankration was introduced to the Greek Olympic Games in 648 BC and was a competitive MMA event similar to the MMA we all watch today.
