The early controversies
Initially when the UFC started to become popular it caught the eye of the US congressmen who found it gross and tried every way to get it banned, to which they failed miserably. UFC was getting popular with the audience so they thought of legalizing it and getting the rules and regulations made specifically for it.
The Ultimate Fighter (reality series)
The Ultimate Fighting Championship got the push from its hit reality tv series The Ultimate Fighter. The show hosts a number of aspiring MMA fighters wanting to have a contract with UFC through the showcase of their skills. This show has produced many champion fighters who came in as a novice but ended up becoming UFC World Champions.
