The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has been growing in popularity with millions of people tuning in to watch the UFC fight on pay-per-view every month. In the beginning, the UFC had very few rules and there were only three ways for a fighter to win a UFC fight: knock the other guy out, make him submit or if the referee stopped the fight (which was rare). Nowadays, in order to enter more markets, shorten fight lengths and increase the sport’s popularity, the UFC has more rules and regulations. This includes several more ways for a fighter to win a UFC fight.
