25 years on, relive all the chaos, confusion and choke-outs of UFC 1

It's been quite a journey

Darragh Murphy

“We’re live from the mile-high city of Denver, Colorado, where the weatherman is warning local residents to brace themselves for a huge snowstorm but tonight the big storm on everyone’s mind is taking place indoors, at the McNichols Sports Arena, the site of tonight’s landmark martial arts event.”

Those were the first words ever spoken on a UFC broadcast.

November 12, 1993 – No rules. No scores. No time-limits.

Eight fighters. Some of whom you’ll remember. Some of whom you definitely won’t.
