Early UFC matches were less of a contest between individuals and more of a contest between different fighting styles. Each fighter was usually only skilled in one form of martial arts and was built physically to take advantage of the rules and conventions associated with each form.
The first match ever in UFC history lasted 14 seconds.
The winner of the first Ultimate Fighting Championship was Gracie Family member, Royce Gracie.
None of the original commentators had ever commentated on martial arts before.
Groin shots were legal at this event.
