Human: I am trying to learn more about UFC history. Which two fighters were a part of the first match ever?

Assistant: Let me see if I can find that for you... UFC 2 was a match in 1997 between Tank Abbott and Ken Shamrock.  You might be thinking of UFC 1, which took place in 1993 and was not the first UFC event.  That one had Royce Gracie vs. Dan Severn.  But the first UFC event was called UFC 1: The Beginning and it was held on November 12, 1993 in a warehouse in the back of the Caravan Music Club.  The final fight of that event was George Forman vs. Marco Ruas.

Assistant: This is an excellent question!  We could begin with a history of MMA fighting, or the martial arts background of UFC competitors, or the rivalries between different fighters, or possibly, we could look into the story behind the sport’s original founder?
