History

Historical Context

In November 1993, Royce Gracie won three fights at UFC 1 in Denver, drawing about 86,600 pay-per-view buys and proving mixed-martial arts a viable sport. The success sparked the UFC’s growth, leading to blockbuster events like UFC 100 in 2009 and a global brand. Now UFC 329 on July 11 2026 in Las Vegas streams on Paramount+ and lists DraftKings odds, marking the shift from early PPV to digital subscriptions.
