Nostalgia will be in the air for fight fans this fall.
A feature-length documentary on UFC 1, entitled UFC 1: Origin of the Octagon, is in the works by Emmy-winning production company SI Films for late 2019.
Directed by John Mason Gordon, the film will feature interviews from numerous individuals key in the creation and implementation of the UFC’s inaugural event, including Jim Brown, Royce Gracie, Ken Shamrock, Teila Tuli, Art Jimmerson, Gerard Gordeau, and more.
“The origin stories of sports are often obscured behind layers of time and legend,” Gordon said Tuesday in a statement.
