The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is the largest mixed martial arts promotion company in the world, which hosts most of the top-ranked fighters in the sport and produces events worldwide. Based in the United States, the UFC has eight weight divisions and enforces the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts.[7] Dana White serves as the president of the UFC while brothers Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta control the UFC's parent company, Zuffa, LLC.

The first UFC event was held in 1993 in Denver, Colorado. The purpose of the event was to identify the most effective martial art in a real fight between competitors of different fighting disciplines, including Boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Sambo, Wrestling, Muay Thai, Karate, Judo, and other styles. In subsequent competitions, fighters began adopting effective techniques from more than one discipline, which indirectly helped create an entirely separate style of fighting known as present-day mixed martial arts.


intinya, UFC adalah MMA. dan pada prakteknya, teknik submission atau kuncian seringkali mendominasi
beberapa waktu yang lalu, saya sempat tertarik melihat promo acara UFC di salah satu stasiun tv swasta
diperlihatkan salah seorang fighter meng-KO lawannya dengan tendangan memutar yang indah

tapi saat saya mencoba melihat pertandingan yang ditayangkan, yah, ternyata tetap saja submission yang mendominasi
apakah dalam MMA kayak UFC memang wajib menggunakan submission kalau ingin menang? karena saya jarang sekali (atau malah tidak pernah) melihat pertarungan tanpa submission di UFC
