UFC 1 opened with a fight that instantly showed the world how brutal and unpredictable mixed martial arts could be. At Denver’s McNichols Sports Arena, French Savate champion Gerard Gordeau faced sumo wrestler Teila Tuli in a no-rules spectacle that ended in shocking fashion, setting the tone for the tournament that introduced Royce Gracie, Ken Shamrock, and a new era of combat sports.

I remember it like it was just yesterday! I was in Korea for the first one and couldn’t wait to get home and see the next one live. Royce changed the world in the first 4 UFCs.

A group of us ordered UFC 1 not knowing if it was going to be fake. That first fight let us know what was up.
