UFC calls himself the most important organization of Mixed Martial Arts (Mixed Martial Arts – MMA), but its history is full of ups and downs and a lot of controversy. After nearly closing the doors in the 90s, this championship MMA reinvented itself and has attracted a new legion of fans.
The UFC promotes and hosts MMA events, which feature several bouts. Each bout is a fight between two competitors. Like boxing, the fights are divided into rounds and are supervised by a referee, although the MMA events are more complex than a boxing match.
Clashes UFC standard are limited to three rounds (as the other leagues have a limit of five), with five minutes for each round. Fighters get one minute interval between rounds. Unlike boxing, where athletes can only fight using their fists and give hits only above the waist, MMA Pride Fighters can punch, kicks, elbows, knee strikes, and make the opponent, pinning him to win the fight . Can be given up and blows below the waist (with a few restrictions). Early on, the CFU claimed that their events were of the fight without any rules, but this is a misnomer. Since the first UFC fights, the athletes were required to follow certain rules, including:
- Does not reach the eyes
- Not seek to tear the mouth of the opponent (using fingers to “catch” the mouth of another)
- Not give blows to the groin
The Athletic Commission of Nevada, responsible for regulation of all presentations of boxing and martial arts in the state, featuring 31 fouls. Absences may penalize or disqualify an athlete. Not all are directly related to physical violence, for example, it is no hold on the ropes, use offensive language in the ring, fake an injury or dropping the mouthpiece on purpose to delay the fight. The complete list of faults is the site of the UFC (in English).
In addition, the UFC has a policy against drugs Athletic Commission of Nevada, which expressly prohibits the use of any drug, especially drugs for performance boost. The fighter is unable to fight if the test shows that she used drugs, or they could face disciplinary proceedings. If it is proved that a fighter won on drugs, the committee may change the outcome of the fight.
