JudyThe initial UFC Events were held in a tournament fashion with knockout matches with the eventual winner getting a big prize. No one was considered any champion of sorts until UFC 5. The winner of the UFC 5 tournament was expected to be the first ever UFC champ but the final fight between Ken Shamrock and Royce Gracie ended in a draw. In UFC 6 Ken Shamrock defeated Dan Severn to become the first ever UFC Champion. Those days, there were no weight limits and everyone fought everyone else irrespective of one anothers weight. Slowly UFC brought in the weight classes and started crowning champs in each category.
