The UFC organization follows a rich history and tradition of competitive MMA dating back
to the Olympic Games in Athens. About 80 years ago, a Brazilian form of MMA known
as Vale Tudo (anything goes) sparked local interest in the sport.
Then, the UFC organization brought MMA to the United States.
The goal was to find 'the Ultimate Fighting Champion' with a concept to have a tournament
of the best athletes skilled in the various disciplines of all martial arts, including karate,
jiu-jitsu, boxing, kickboxing, grappling, wrestling, sumo and other combat sports.
The winner of the tournament would be crowned the champion.
