History

Historical Context

On November 12 1993 the UFC held its first event in Denver, where Royce Gracie won the eight-man tournament with a rear-naked choke and a $50,000 prize. The spectacle introduced the octagon and mixed-style matchups that later grew under Zuffa’s ownership. Quillan Salkilld’s rear-naked choke at UFC Vegas 120 echoes that inaugural victory, underscoring MMA’s enduring appeal.
