UFC Is On A Steady Rise

Phoenix Delray asked:

The UFC, or Ultimate Fighting Championship, is currently recognized as the largest MMA promotion worldwide, is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada and owned by Zuffa LLC. The UFC began as a tournament to find the best fighters in the world, and was based on the Brazilian vale tudo fighting style.

Originally, it was known as a no holds barred fighting contest, which eventually led to accusations of human brutality. After criticism reduced the UFCs visibility was diminished by these accusations, the organization reformed itself and adapted strict, athletic commission sanctioned rules, remarketing itself as a legitimate sporting event.

This idea of a tournament geared towards finding the best world fighter was that of Art Davie, a Southern California based advertising executive who developed this concept while researching marital arts for a client. Davie went on to become the student of Rorion Gracie, a teacher of mixed martial arts. In 1992, Gracie, Davie, and John Milnus, a film director and screen writer, in addition to being a fellow Gracie student, developed a business plan to generate the initial capital required to start WOW Promotions in order to develop their tournament into a television franchise.

The fledgling company partnered with Semaphore Entertainment Group in 1993, and the name Ultimate Fighting Championship was born. The first event was produced at McNichos Sports Arena in Denver, Colorado on November 12,1993 and featured kick boxer Patrick Smith and Kevin Roier, and as well as savate fighter Gerard Gordeau, and others. The appeal for this how, including its core proposition can a wrestler beat a boxer? was a contrast from most martial arts events at the time, where competitors typically had skill and expertise in just one discipline and little to no experience in other disciplines.

In 2001, The UFC was purchased for $2 million and came under the control of its parent company Zuffia, which resulted in a return to pay per view for the UFC after a plunge into relative obscurity after Senator John McCain criticized it as human cockfighting. The UFCs secured spot on The Best Damn Sports Show Period only added to its renown and reputation. After being featured in the reality television series, American Casino, the UFC was featured in its own reality series, The Ultimate Fighter, showcasing up and coming MMA fighters.

The success of this show led to a second show UFC Unleashed, which featured select fights from UFC events, as well as a live broadcast entitled UFC Fight Night. After the first season of the Ultimate fighter, the first UFC event drew a pay per view audience of 280,000, and the next season of The Ultimate Fighter drew in a record 410,000 pay per view buys, leading to the present, with the UFC holding its own in the world of mainstream sporting events.

In The Cage With The UFC

Phoenix Delray asked:

UFC and MMA fights are held in a cage, which is an eight sided, chain linked reinforced, heavily padded structure called the Octagon. As the sport has grown in popularity over the years, rules and regulations, according strict regulations concerning the type of fight gear that a cage fighter can wear during a match. The Octagons unique shape and structure have become associated with the UFC brand name and the UFCs parent company, Zuffa. The Octagon is featured regularly on television and mentioned in the national media, adding to its brand recognition, so closely associated with the MMA and UFC in fact that it has become an iconic symbol of the sport since it was first featured in UFC events in 1993.

Fight gear for these events is restricted to regulation gloves and fight gear that includes only approved shorts, with no shoes or any type of foot covering allowed. Shirts, gis, and long pants, including gi pants, are also not allowed. The gloves are required because they enable fighters to increase the strength of their punches, while at the same time providing greater protection against injury and breakage.

In the early days, attire was unregulated, and many fighters opted for tight fitting athletic shorts or long, boxer trunks, and other wore tight wrestling suits and long pants. Royce Gracie, multi tournament champion, wore a jujitsu gi in all of his early UFC appearances. The regulations came after the move to take the UFC and the MMA fighting style into the mainstream.

Mma Versus Boxing – Who Will Win Win the Battle?

April 29, 2009 by Ben Janke  
Filed under MMAVines.com Contributors

Ian Worthington asked:

Over the  last 3-4 years Boxing’s mantle as the number one ‘fight’ sport has come under serious threat from Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), and in particular the Dana White lead Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Ultra slick presentations, clever marketing and the ability to produce the fights which fans yearn to see, has seen the UFC explode in the United States. The phenomenon is now actively spreading across Canada, Europe and the rest of the World. States and countries who once banned MMA events as ‘too brutal’ are now openly promoting them in their top stadia and venues. The UFC Events always have sell-out crowds regardless of the venue enormity, and this has continued as the bandwagon has spread to countries such as the UK and Ireland. Other MMA Organisations, such as Pride (Japan) and Affliction also gain huge crowds for their events. All this is occurring against the back-drop of a global recession!

 

                On the other hand, Boxing has been a mainstream populous sport for in excess on 100 years. Legends such as Muhammed Ali, Marvellous Marvin Hagler, Rocky Marciano, Sugar Ray Leonard and Mike Tyson (to name a few)  are household names amongst most people from both sides of the Atlantic. Boxing, celebrity and glamour have gone ‘hand in hand’ for decades. Watch re-runs of Mike Tyson fights from the 90’s on YouTube and try and spot the non-celebrities ringside – it’s very difficult! With such celebrity links comes huge revenues – something which top-level fighters have, in many instances, capitalised upon to become extremely wealthy, along with their promoters. However, this vast influx of celebrity and wealth appears to have come at a costly price for the noble art of boxing. With such money and prestige available to ‘World Champion’s’, every promoter wanted a champ. This has led to the increased number of weight divisions (very small variance between the weights) and most damagingly the introduction of  the numerous ‘alphabet’ World Titles. The original and respected boxing organisations such as the WBC, WBA, IBF have dramatically swelled with the forming of the WBO and IBO, followed by such non-entity belts as the WBU. All this has led to numerous World Champions at each weight class. Whilst it is now commonly acknowledged that it is the fighter who ‘makes the belt’ (The Ring Belt is ultimately decided upon in this way), the reluctance of organisations to interlink means many ‘top’ fights never occur.  Combine this with the reluctance of promoters / fighters to risk their status as ‘World Champ’ for anything less that an ‘out of this world payday’ and you the present scenario.

 

                Whilst there are always exceptions to the rule, as Ricky Hatton and PBF recently proved, it is too often the case that the best fighters don’t ever meet in the ring. This is not the case in MMA, where every event seems to provide at least one fight between a weight divisions top two. There are also less weight divisions, and, unlike boxing, there never seems to be a mis-match simply to ‘pad’ a fighter’s record. The glamour / celebrity side of the sports is also turning in MMA’s favour (and that’s not referring to Tito Ortiz’s partner!). Celebrities such as Paris Hilton are common place at UFC events, Donald Trump actively promotes events in his venues whilst the Goldenboy of Boxing, Oscar Del Hoya, was recently ecstatically cheering ringside at the Affliction main event of Fedor v Arloski (he had a business interest in that event).

 

                It appears that MMA is clearly challenging Boxing’s supremacy like it has never been challenged before. Many fans suggest the sports are as different as Football is to Rugby, but their audience catchment groups most definitely overlap. If MMA, and the UFC in particular, continue to ‘run their business’ and improve as they have in recent years they have a big future. They should take a cautious note of what has happened to boxing in recent years and learn from their mistakes. On a ‘flip-side’, maybe boxing and it’s bosses should ‘go-back to basics’, benchmark the MMA success formula and re-invent their brand accordingly. Only time will tell.

Roy Jones Jr. Jumps on the MMA Bandwagon

April 29, 2009 by Ben Janke  
Filed under MMAVines.com Contributors

MMA Omniscient asked:

Roy Jones Jr. is the newest Johnny-come-lately to grace the world of MMA with his presence. This eight-time world boxing champion and his Square Ring Promotions will put on “March Badness,” a mixed Boxing/MMA card on March 21, 2009 at the Pensacola Civic Center in Florida. A light heavyweight boxing match between Jones (52-5) and Omar Sheika (27-7) will be the main event, Jones said at a news conference Wednesday at the venue, where the show will be broadcast live on pay-per-view.

The “March Badness” undercard will feature three MMA bouts: Seth Petruzelli (10-4-0) vs. former WEC light heavyweight champion Doug Marshall (9-3-0) in a light heavyweight fight, Roy Nelson (13-3-0) vs. Jeff Monson (27-8-0) in a heavyweight bout and former collegiate/WWE wrestler Bobby Lashley against a yet to benamed opponent. Petruzelli’s fight will be his first since his spectacular 14-second TKO of Kevin Ferguson, aka Kimbo Slice, at Elite XC “Heat” last Oct. 4.

So what brings Jones to MMA? The same thing that’s brought Oscar De La Hoya, Donald Trump, Black Entertainment Television (BET), and the countless others who have tried and failed…MONEY.

Any businessperson with a pulse sees this burgeoning industry as a golden opportunity to CA$H in. They have delusions of how easy it is to reach the MMA fan and capitalize on his appetite for blood and guts. What they fail to realize is that the MMA fan is among the most educated and knowledgeable of sports fans, because Mixed Martial Arts is a thinking man’s sport, unlike its Boxing counterpart. Most of us have a low tolerance for bad fights, poor commentating, and a lackluster show; not to mention the corrupt, money-grubbing suits that are trying to exploit us.

While it seems as though the UFC has a monopoly on the sport of MMA, that’s not exactly the case. Yes, they are the two thousand pound gorilla, but there’s definitely room, and a strong need for some supporting chimps. With the departure of Japan’s longest running and most successful MMA organization, PRIDE Fighting Championship, and the recent failure of EliteXC, MMA needs more credible shows, where up and coming fighters can “cut their teeth”. As we’ve seen with recent MMA upstart Affliction, if a start-up has enough money to lure away good fighters from the larger more well established organizations, and enough business savvy to put together a good show, they have a shot. Whether or not Affliction has what it takes to stick around, is yet to be seen, but they’ve definitely done better than most.

So should we ******** MMA fans boycott these newbie’s on the basis of their ill motivation? I think not, but at the same time, let’s use some discretion and only pay our hard earned money to those organizations that deserve it. Those that are truly in it to better the competition, better the sport, and better the experience for us, the fans.

Brian Robertson asked:

Mike “Quick” Swick (born 19 June 1979) is an American professional mixed martial arts fighter.

He was a participant in the first season of The Ultimate Fighter, a reality television series produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship, which is one of the reasons for his popularity. He was eliminated from the competition after a semi-final loss to Stephan Bonnar.

Since joining the ranks of the UFC, Mike has gone 5-0 and is considered on of the top Middleweight contenders in the UFC

MMAToday: How did you get involved in martial arts and MMA?

MS: I started in Tae-Kwon-Do at the age of 8. I have just been progressing from there every since…

MMAToday: Once you got started did you ever think you make it all the way to the UFC?

MS: I hoped! Ha-ha

MMAToday: How much did your appearance on TUF affect your training and your career?

MS: It made my career what it is today. It was the exposure that I needed and it made me train harder than ever.

MMAToday: What is it like going from fighting in smaller shows to fighting in the UFC? Were you nervous or did you feel you were ready to be there?

MS: It’s a big difference. The UFC is the Big Show. I felt ready.

MMAToday: Your first 4 fights in the UFC lasted a combined 6 minutes or so, what was the rush?

MS: I am just an aggressive fighter… ha-ha

MMAToday: How has your training been coming? And how is the hand?

MS: Training is going great! Hand is almost 100%. I am still sparring and doing mitt work, I am just still a little careful with it.

MMAToday: Can you give us a little insight into your training regimen?

MS: We train 2-3 times a day, 6 days a week.

MMAToday: Who are you currently training with?

MS: We have a great crew in now… As far as training, I have Lynn Schutz, Bob Cook, Dave Camarillo, and Javier Mendez. As far as teammates I got Fitch, Koscheck, Thomson, Prangley, Southworth, Fukada, plus a lot of great up and comers. Baroni should be back soon as well.

MMAToday: What motivated you to keep going and fighting?

MS: Wanting to be the best…

MMAToday: Your next opponent is Yushin Okami on March 3rd, anything special planned for that fight?

MS: This fight is not for sure. Nothing is signed. We are still working on it. I want this fight though.

MMAToday: Where do you see yourself in the Middleweight title picture if you are victorious there?

MS: I guess it depends on how I perform. I plan to perform at my best.

MMAToday: How well do you stack up against the current champ Anderson Silva?

MS: All of them!

MMAToday: Would you still like a rematch with Chris Leben?

MS: All my UFC fights have been very memorable.

MMAToday: How much longer do you have on your current contract?

MS: Too many to list!

MMAToday: Who do think would be your toughest fight and why?

MS: Right now, I think Anderson Silva. It would be a good test for me.

MMAToday: What are your hobbies outside of MMA?

MS: Traveling. I love traveling! Whatever happens after you die happens, but this is the only earth we will ever have and I want to see it all. I like playing poker as well.

MMAToday: Who do you think the best over looked fighter in your weight class is?

MMAToday: What do you think of Randy coming back?

MS: I am excited, I like him a lot.

Some Great Reasons to See and Be Seen in MMA Shirts

April 27, 2009 by Ben Janke  
Filed under MMAVines.com Contributors

Phoenix Delray asked:

Undoubtedly, at some point in time you have walked around town and seen at least a couple people sporting MMA shirts. Chances are, you were probably blown away by their awesomeness and ran to your nearest sporting goods store to stock up on a few MMA shirts of your own. However, if you still do not have at least two MMA shirts in your closet, perhaps you should rethink your choices in wardrobe. Below are a few reasons to rock MMA shirts every day of the week.

1.) MMA shirts are a great way to get ladies. In case you are not in the know, MMA shirts are a great way to get hot women to go home with you. In fact, if you and a group of friends go out to a bar wearing your MMA shirts, you should probably bring a stick with you. Why a stick? Because you will need it to beat all of the ****** away, as they will surely mob you as soon as you and your crew walk through the door. You may even want to bring a can of mace, but that is entirely up to you.

2.) Wearing MMA shirts give you instant street credit. Imagine walking into a dark alley by yourself and night, when a mugger jumps out at you with a tire iron in one hand, demanding that you hand over all of your money. Instead of forking over your wallet, you take off your jacket and expose one of your ******** MMA shirts. Clearly, you are ready to rumble and are not afraid to do a little grounding and pounding. Immediately, the would be mugger apologizes, hands you his wallet and scampers away, never to be heard from again. You can look it up if you want to, but it has been proven time and time again that MMA shirts are intimidating to criminals.

3.) When people see you wearing one of your MMA shirts, they know you support a great sport. Mixed martial arts fighting is one of the purest sports around, where two men are faced to confront each other in the ring and prove to themselves (and the rest of the world), who the bigger man is. NASCAR may be the biggest spectator sport in America right now, but MMA fighting is definitely the coolest. Plus, there have never been any senate hearings over steroid use in MMA fighting. This is because the senators are all too afraid.

Greatest UFC Champ of All Time?

April 26, 2009 by Ben Janke  
Filed under MMAVines.com Contributors

MMA Omniscient asked:

A champion in any sport has a huge target on their back, but when you fight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), the biggest and baddest men on the planet are gunning for you at all times; title shot or not.  In the fifteen year, 97 event history of the UFC only 11 fighters have defended their title more than once.  This list of elite fighters have justly earned their place in UFC history, as many critics and followers of the sport believe that one is not truly a champion until he has successfully defended his belt.  Those that have done it more than once are unquestionably the cream of the crop.  So who is the Greatest of All Time?

The following is the list of UFC fighters with multiple successful title defenses.  You decide who the best of the best is.  If the main criteria is the number of consecutive successful defenses; Anderson Silva is incontestably the king.  If total number of defenses is your measuring stick, Matt Hughes would get the nod.  And if the caliber of the champ’s competition is also a consideration; I think most will argue for Silva.

1. Matt Hughes (WW) – Title Defenses: 7

Matt Hughes was and is a UFC legend.  He defended his title a total of seven times during two separate stints as the UFC Welterweight champion.  During his first term as champ, he defended five consecutive times against the likes of Gil Castillo and Frank Trigg (lol).  I’m having fun here, but on a serious note, Matt Hughes has beaten a load of quality fighters over his illustrious career, however, looking at his list of challengers it surely doesn’t compare to Anderson Silva’s.

2. Anderson Silva (MW) – Title Defenses: 6

After his last defense he is now the sole record holder for consecutive title defenses in the UFC.  Despite all the unmerited criticism he garnered from UFC 97, he is still the UFC Middleweight champ and pound-for-pound king. The next time someone has the balls to get in the cage with him and try to IMPOSE their will on him, I bet he will continue to dominate. (read Anderson is the CHAMP!)  His streak of defenses and the challengers he has beaten is nothing less than remarkable!

3. Tito Ortiz (LHW) – Title Defenses: 5

UGH!!  It pains me to have to put the “Huntington Beach Bad Boy” on this list, but the facts are the facts.  Tito defended his Light Heavyweight title from 2000 to 2002, until Randy Couture took it away from him.  This is when Randy gave the Bad Boy some well deserved corporal punishment in the form of a humiliating spanking…HA HA!!

4. Chuck Liddell (LHW) – Title Defenses: 4

The “Iceman” has one of the most impressive title defense streaks.  Including his win over Randy Couture to gain the title, he won and defended the title with five consecutive TKO wins.  Randy, Tito, Jeremy Horn and Renato Sobral all fell victim to the dynamite hands of Chuck during his reign as champion.

5. Pat Miletich (WW) – Title Defenses: 4

Miletich made his official UFC debut at UFC 16 and won the very first UFC Lightweight Tournament.  In 2001, the UFC changed the weight class limits, creating the Welterweight.  At UFC 17: Ultimate Brazil, Pat defeated Mikey Burnett and became the first UFC Welterweight champion.  He went on to defend the Welterweight belt four times before losing it to Carlos Newton by submission at UFC 31.

6. Frank Shamrock (LHW) – Title Defenses: 4

“The Legend” was the Light Heavyweight champ from 1997 to 1999, until he forfeited his title due to retirement.  The talent he faced was so so, but Shamrock’s wins were in impressive fashion - all by submission, TKO or KO in the first round, except for the beating he put on Tito, which ended by strikes in the fourth round.

7. Randy Couture (HW) – Title Defenses: 3

Randy “The Natural” Couture, possibly the most popular mixed martial artist of all time, has won the Heavyweight championship on four separate occasions (1 interim title), and has successfully defended it a total of three times.  He also won the Light Heavyweight belt twice, but has never successfully defended it.  While his win-loss record may not be as stellar as some of the UFC’s other great champions, to some he is the greatest of all time for his achievements in two weight classes at a more advanced age.

8. The following fighters have all defended their respective titles 2 times:

a. Tim Sylvia (HW) (read Tim Sylvia and the Willy Nilly Freak Show)

b. George

The Ins and Outs of MMA Shorts

April 25, 2009 by Ben Janke  
Filed under MMAVines.com Contributors

Phoenix Delray asked:

Considering the way that mixed martial arts have been taking the country by storm, it is no wonder that MMA clothing (specifically, MMA shorts) are in high demand. All guys like to think that they are a little tougher than the average man, but when you see a dude walking around town wearing MMA shorts, chances are you will be more likely to try to stay on his good side.

Besides emphasizing and adding to your tough guy persona, mixed martial arts shorts will help you do better with the ladies. It is practically a proven fact that guys who wear MMA shorts get twice as many ****** as their cargo short wearing counterparts. Still, quantity is not everything. Not only do guys who wear MMA shorts get more women, they get hotter women. Yeah, thats right. Look it up, it is totally true.

In the event that things get a little rough and tumble, people wearing MMA shorts immediately have an advantage. Mixed martial arts shorts are specially designed to allow you for free movement through the waist, hip and leg. Have you ever tried pulling off a high kick in a pair of jeans? If you have, you probably know that you cannot kick as high as you would have if you were wearing something a little bit looser, perhaps even with an element of stretch.

Unlike jeans, MMA shorts will not keep you from kicking the crap out of things that are really tall. Basically, if you can extend your leg to kick something that is six feet tall, MMA shorts will not get in the way. This is because most of the MMA shorts that you can buy have a little touch of spandex blended into the material. This keeps the fabric from ripping as you go about your business wreaking havoc.

Plus, MMA shorts are extremely comfortable. Some clothes are too tight in some places, while being too baggy in others. Although some mixed martial arts shorts may be snug, they will never cut into your skin or make you wish you were wearing some other pair of pants. To tell you the truth, MMA shorts are so comfy, you will want to wear them all the time. It should be a crime to look so good while being so comfortable! Fortunately, it is not and you are unlikely to be arrested for only wearing MMA shorts.
