The UFC began as a single-event tournament to find the world's best fighters irrespective of their style, and was based upon Brazilian vale tudo fighting. Although there were a few limited number of rules, fighting in the UFC was marketed as no holds barred, and contests were often violent and brutal. Early UFC fights were less sport than spectacle, which led to accusations of brutality and "human cock fighting" by opponents. Political pressures eventually led the UFC into the underground, as pay-per-view providers nixed UFC programming, nearly extinguishing the UFC's public visibility. |

As political pressure mounted, the UFC reformed itself, slowly embracing stricter rules, becoming sanctioned by state athletic commissions, and marketing itself as a legitimate sporting event. Dropping the no holds barred label and carrying the banner of mixed martial arts, the UFC has emerged from its political isolation to become more socially acceptable, regaining its position in pay-per-view television.

Kos and Effect
Mike Russell, UFC - If confidence were currency, Josh Koscheck would be Donald Trump and if the 31-year-old's worth is as high as he feels it is, he believes a win over highly-touted knockout artist Anthony "Rumble" Johnson at UFC 106 November 24 could very well outbid all potential UFC welterweight title shot claimants.

Mike Russell, UFC - If you had to sum up UFC welterweight Anthony "Rumble" Johnson's life thus far using only clichés, you might say he's a 'cup is half full' type of guy who doesn't like putting all of his eggs in one basket.
