Site of the Week – How the UFC Works
by John Wilson
The UFC Octagon
How the UFC works
How Stuff Works is a great site. They have well written and well researched articles on subjects from all spectrums. They also have an excellent general subject podcast available on iTunes, including my favorite, “Stuff you Missed in History Class.”
The particular article I’d like to draw attention to tonight is “How the Ultimate Fighting Championship Works.” This article covers the basics including:
- The Octagon
- Fighting Styles
- How to win
- UFC Rules
- UFC today
Each section gives a broad overview of the sport and what to watch for in a pay-per-view, Fight Night or The Ultimate Fighter show. Unfortunately, there is no one in the UFC named “John Wilson.” However, when you put “John Wilson +UFC” into Google, my website is on top.
Other Resources for basic MMA
If you’re interested in learning more about MMA (mixed martial arts) or the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) research the following search terms:
Why don’t you link to the UFC portion of How Stuff Work’s site? I didn’t see it when I used the link to their site you provided and I haven’t the patience to dig around.
Good catch. I added it to the article or you can find it here: http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/ufc.htm
