In 1993 the first ever Ultimate Fighting Championship took place. At that time There was a time when people loved to watch Judo, Karate, jiu-jitsu and other martial arts. People used to like boxing and wrestling. But over the recent years a large number of people have started to shift to mixed martial arts. And the biggest platform for mixed martial art fighting is the Ultimate Fighting Championship. The popularity of this event has risen solely because it has more to offer than any other sports. It provides thrill, excitement, drama, reality and every other thing that a person can think of. The popularity of this event in the last seventeen years has increased to new heights.

There were very few rules and it is safe to say that there were no rules. People thought of this sport as a violence promoter and a game of great aggression and brutality. The UFC had to face dark times because of political setbacks. This all has changed in the seventeen years of the UFC. People from all over the world gather to watch this sport. The popularity of the event can be supported by the fact that many renowned WWE super star wrestlers have shifted their career to mixed martial arts. One of the famous among them is Brook Lanser.

Moreover the promotion of the UFC has also played a vital role in the popularity of the event. Other media like the video games have especially created an excitement among the young generation. The huge variety of UFC merchandise has been a key element to the popularity of the event. Over the years UFC has signed of many partnership deals. It has also acquired other sporting events which includes the Pride Fighting Championship. It has also created other events like World Extreme Cage fighting (WEC). In short the Ultimate Fighting Championship is becoming more popular than ever.

Recent surveys have showed that people are moving from single disciplined martial arts toward the mixed martial arts. Boxing which used to be a renowned sport is becoming less popular. A recent survey in the states shows that more people know the name of current UFC champion then of the name of the current boxing champion. Also the popularity of the event can be confirmed by the fact that it sells more pay-per-view tickets than most of the sports. Online betting on this sport has increased over the year. And countries worldwide are being considered to host the events of Ultimate Fighting Championship. In 2010 an event of UFC is going to be held in Abu Dhabi. Also the former champion Tito Ortiz confirmed that UFC 113 tickets were sold in just 30 minutes.

All these facts confirm that the popularity of the Ultimate Fighting Championship is increasing and in the coming years UFC will take over most of the fighting entertainment events. And it would be considered the most popular sport of all times.
