What is ufc backround?

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is an American mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion company, founded in 1993. The UFC became the largest MMA promotion company in the world through various acquisitions and partnerships since its inception.

The UFC's early events were marketed as a "no-holds-barred" fighting contest, which allowed fighters from different martial arts backgrounds to compete against each other with little to no rules, except for a ban on biting and eye-gouging. This resulted in a controversial reputation and being banned in several states, until the introduction of new rules and weight classes helped to change its public perception.

Today, UFC events showcase some of the world's top MMA fighters competing in a range of different weight classes, including men's and women's divisions. The UFC has also become known for its reality TV show, The Ultimate Fighter, which features aspiring fighters competing for a UFC contract.

The UFC has had a major impact on the development of mixed martial arts as a sport and has helped bring MMA into the mainstream over the past two decades.
