This is a list of events scheduled and held with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), a mixed martial arts marketing based in the United States. UFC’s first event, UFC 1, took place on November 12, 1993. Each UFC event contains conflicts. Traditionally, every event starts off with a preliminary card followed by a principal card, with the final struggle being known as the principal event.
UFC events are separated into seven Distinct formats:
“Numbered” events, now airing on pay-per-view, with a few exceptions
“UFC on ESPN” occasions, now airing on ESPN
“UFC on Fox” occasions, formerly aired on Fox
“Fight Night” occasions, formerly aired on Spike, Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports two or UFC Fight Pass. Currently airing on ESPN+
“The Ultimate Fighter Finale” events, formerly aired on Spike, FX, Fox Sports 1 or 2 UFC Fight Pass. Will begin on ESPN+ in 2019
“UFC on FX” occasions, formerly aired on FX
“UFC on Fuel TV” events, formerly aired on Fuel TV
“UFC Live” events, formerly aired on Versus
The majority of these”numbered” events have taken place on pay-per-view, however there are several exceptions for reasons such as tape-delay. Events like UFC 72, which took place in Belfast, Northern Ireland, U.K., were marketed on pay-per-view, but due to tape-delay, purchase rates weren’t as high as events which aired in a conventional starting time. [1] As such, events taking part in a number of time zones, such as UFC 70, UFC 75, UFC 89, UFC 95, UFC 105, UFC 120, UFC 122, and UFC 138, were awarded a same-night broadcasting in American prime time on Spike. [2]
Historically, the UFC has also aired preliminary fights prior to the main battle cards, either on television through Spike, FX, and Gas TV, or online through Facebook and YouTube. Starting in August 2013, beginning with UFC Fight Night: Shogun vs. Sonnen, the UFC started broadcasting non-PPV events on Fox Sports 1 or Fox Sports 2. [3] In January 2014, as a portion of the organization’s global expansion, the UFC began airing various international events exclusively on their subscription-based digital network, UFC Fight Pass. [4]
In July 2009, the UFC held its unofficial 100th”inaugural occasion”; however, officially, despite being called UFC 100, it was actually the 101st numbered event (not to mention the 133rd event overall). The UFC signed a deal with Fox Sports Net, after Fox agreed to broadcast 1 fight in June 2002, during its”All-Star Summer” that month. [5] UFC 37 and 38 had already been scheduled and promoted, but as UFC 38 was the promotion’s debut in the United Kingdom, they established UFC 37.5; an occasion that became the first ever combined martial arts fight available on cable tv. [5]
As of UFC 239: Jones vs. Santos, which took place on July 6, 2019, there have been 484 UFC events held in 154 cities in 26 countries.
