2008 Ultimate Fighting Championship - Watch the Best Fighters Battle For the Title
If you are a fan of the ‘Sweet Science’, you have to be a fan of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Best fighters from everywhere compete in the ring and the toughest survives till the end – the Ultimate Fighting Champion. Fierce punches, screaming crowds and fighting till the last ounce of energy mark the UFC rounds. Fighters, regardless of their backgrounds and fighting styles, compete for the honorable title of the winner. Everyone knows that if you win here, you are the Ultimate, Unbeatable Champion of boxing.
The UFC was started as a tournament to find the world’s best fighters irrespective of their style, and was based upon Brazilian vale tudo fighting or No Holds Barred. The inaugural event, the UFC 1, had next to no rules and contests were often violent and brutal. Early UFC fights were less sport than spectacle, which led to accusations of brutality and ‘human cock fighting’ by opponents. Today, the fights take place by sticking to set of rules which are taken very seriously by the contestants, referees and the public.
Since its inception in 1993, there have been 107 UFC events held in six countries and 18 U.S. states (the count will rise to 111 after the 2008 season is over). 84 of the events have been available via pay-per-view, while the other 23 have been shown on cable television, in the United States.
