text: Ultimate Fighting Championship started in the early 90's with fighters like Ken Shamrock and Royce (pronounced Hoyce) Gracie. It's a mixed martial arts full contact fighting event that up until 2 years ago could only be seen on Pay-per-view. You can watch the reality show "The Ultimate Fighter" on Spike TV. \nIf you've never seen it, it's well worth watching. It's addicting. Especially now, when boxing is soooo bad.
