UFC Brock Lesnar Profile

How well do you know the UFC? How about the people who fight for the UFC? The UFC offers ultimate fighting for MMA professionals.

"Ultimate Fighting is a proprietary term of the UFC. It is defined as mixed martial arts competition between high level professional fighters who utilize the disciplines of jiu-jitsu, karate, boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, and other forms in UFC live events. UFC competitors or "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.com, 2009).
