The Ultimate Fighting Championship: Classic Middleweight Bouts

This video contains bouts from UFC mixed martial arts events. Started in 1993, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) brand is a professional mixed martial arts organization offering the premier series of MMA sports events. The UFC organization follows a rich history and tradition of competitive MMA dating back to the Olympic Games in Athens. About 80 years ago, a Brazilian form of MMA known as Vale Tudo (anything goes) sparked local interest in the sport. In January 2001, under the new ownership of Zuffa, LLC, the UFC brand completely restructured MMA into a highly organized and controlled combat sport. As a result, the UFC organization now offers twelve to fourteen live pay-per-view events annually, in locations around the world. Once the UFC brand was launched, MMA popularity surged in Brazil, followed by immense interest in Japan where these bouts became major events. Then, the UFC organization brought MMA to the United States. The goal was to find "the Ultimate Fighting Champion" with a concept to have a tournament of the best athletes skilled in the various disciplines of all martial arts, including karate, jiu-jitsu, boxing, kickboxing, grappling, wrestling, sumo and other combat sports. The winner of the tournament would be crowned the champion. The UFC organization is regulated and recognized by the world's most prestigious sports regulatory bodies including the California, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania State Athletic Commissions. The UFC organization strives for the highest levels of safety and quality in all aspects of the sport.

    In the UFC 62 opener, Japanese veteran Yushin Okami scored his first UFC victory, winning a workmanlike three round unanimous decision over fellow Octagon debutant Alan 'The Talent' Belcher in a bout which was punctuated by what can be best described as a bizarre frontflip by Talent while Okami rode his back in the third round. The move drew a roar from the crowd, but wasn't enough to put Belcher in the driver's seat as far as getting the 'W' was concerned.
