Ladies and gentlemen boys and girls, my speech is on UFC (ultimate fighting championship)UFC is a group of the worlds best mixed martial arts fighters, which includes over 30 fighitng styles(MMA).The idea of UFC started in 1991, and the fisrt fight was in 1993.The first UFC fight was on november 12th 1993, 90 000 people payed to watch this. Then in UFC 3. some of the fighters believed that technique and skill could overcome size, so with no weight classes, they proved this when when keith hackney,with a 416lb and 22 cm height disadvantage defeated emmanuel Yarborough in 2 min due to a knockout.Today there is 5 different weight classes ,lightweight, welterweight,middleweight,light heavyweight and heavyweight starting at 150 and ending at 270 lbs max.All rounds are fought in a caged octagon, with 3 5 min rounds, and title fights are 5 5 min rounds,and can only end with a tapout, when the opponent is in enough pain to give up, or with a knockout, when one of the fighters are unconcious or the ref, or docter stops the fight, and if all the rounds end withot tapout or knockout, it goes to a judges desicion and the decide the winner or a split draw.
