![](../../images/logos/ufc-logo.jpg) Ultimate
Fighting Champions. They aren't like boxers, which do nothing but hit each other
in the head. UFC fighters use jiu-jitsu, karate, boxing, kickboxing, wrestling
and the kitchen sink to take down an opponent. But the most vicious moves like
head butts, knees to the head or groin kicks aren't allowed. According to the
UFC website "'Ultimate Fighters' are among the best-trained and conditioned
athletes in the world. While this is a highly intense sport, fighter safety
is of paramount concern to UFC ownership and management: it is noteworthy that
no competitor has ever been seriously injured in a UFC event." "UFC
fighters come from the US, Canada, Brazil, Japan, Russia, Holland, England,
etc. All UFC fighters have previous combat sports experience and many are world
or Olympic champions. UFC athletes train up to six hours a day or more in preparation
for an event. Almost all have studied martial arts as a lifelong vocation and
many are college educated. In addition to their UFC careers, many of these men
are business owners. They are also students, professionals or managers working
for diverse types of companies.
