When was the first mixed martial arts fight?

Answer 1

The First ? Probably in Ancient Roman Times. People would gather for these events however it would usually be until the death. They loved it and it was pure entertainment.

Specifically for the UFC, the first event was held on November 12, 1993 in Denver Colorado, USA. In this time of the UFC, fighters would often fight more than one fight in a night. It was tournament style based, the winner would advance to the next round. A 190 pound man could fight a 500 pound man. There was no restrictions. Royce Gracie would fight 3 times that night, and would be champion of UFC 1.
