List of UFC events
This is a record of events held and scheduled with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), a mixed martial arts marketing based in the USA. UFC’s first event, UFC 1, happened on November 12, 1993. Each UFC event includes conflicts. Traditionally, every event starts off with a preliminary card followed with a principal card, together with the last fight being known as the principal event.
UFC events are separated into seven different formats:
“Numbered” events, currently broadcasting on pay-per-view, with some exceptions
“UFC on ESPN” occasions, currently airing on ESPN
“UFC on Fox” occasions, previously aired on Fox
“Fight Night” occasions, previously aired on Spike, Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports two or UFC Fight Pass. Currently airing on ESPN+
“The Ultimate Fighter Finale” events, previously aired on Spike, FX, Fox Sports 1 or 2 UFC Fight Pass. Will start on ESPN+ in 2019
“UFC on FX” events, previously aired on FX
“UFC on Fuel TV” events, formerly aired on Fuel TV
“UFC Live” occasions, previously aired on Versus
Most of these”numbered” events have happened on pay-per-view, however there have been several exceptions for reasons like tape-delay. Occasions like UFC 72, which took place in Belfast, Northern Ireland, U.K., were marketed on pay-per-view, but due to tape-delay, buy rates were not as large as events that aired in a traditional starting time. [1] Therefore, events participate in a number of time zones, including UFC 70, UFC 75, UFC 89, UFC 95, UFC 105, UFC 120, UFC 122, and UFC 138, were awarded a same-night airing in American prime time on Spike.

Historically, the UFC has also aired preliminary struggles prior to the principal battle cards, either on tv via Spike, FX, and Gas TV, or online via Facebook and YouTube. Starting in August 2013, beginning with UFC Fight Night: Shogun vs. Sonnen, the UFC started broadcasting non-PPV events on either Fox Sports 1 or Fox Sports 2. [3] In January 2014, as part of their organization’s global growth, the UFC started broadcasting various foreign events exclusively in their subscription-based digital community, UFC Fight Pass. [4]
Back in July 2009, the UFC held its unofficial 100th”numbered event”; nonetheless, officially, despite being known as UFC 100, it was actually the 101st numbered event (and of course that the 133rd event overall). The UFC signed a deal with Fox Sports Net, after Fox agreed to broadcast 1 fight in June 2002, during its”All-Star Summer” that month. [5] UFC 37 and 38 had been scheduled and promoted, but as UFC 38 was the advertising’s introduction in the United Kingdom, they established UFC 37.5; an event that became the first ever mixed martial arts fight on cable tv.

As of UFC 239: Jones vs. Santos, which happened on July 6, 2019, there were 484 UFC events held in 154 cities in 26 countries.
