The Ultimate Fighting Championship is the world’s premier mixed martial arts organization and is enjoying rapid growth in the UK. Since establishing a UK office at the beginning of 2007 the company has held four sold-out events in the UK which have consistently broken venue records for merchandise sales. Further events are planned for 2008. UFC merchandise is regularly seen on TV, as it is frequently worn by contestants in the successful reality TV series The Ultimate Fighter, broadcast on Bravo.
