Thus people seen promise in this as a business proposition. Early 1990's an organization known as UFC or Ultimate Fighting Championships was developed. In the early days the sport received a bad rap for the negative image that it put off. Critics compared it to modern day gladiators, or said it was far to savage. When UFC began rules were very limited, no biting, no eye gouging, and no groin shots. In the beginning there were no rules pertaining to weight class, and time limit, and the contestants didn't wear gloves. So due to this negative image that UFC put off it seen an rapid decline in popularity and was even made illegal in many states. Yet, partial owner Dana White would not go down without a fight. He changed and added rules to make the fights at least a little more civilized. The rules added would help prevent serious injury among the fighters. Now UFC has surpassed professional boxing with its popularity, and continues it's rise fame.
