    Hey guys,

    I've got friends that are into MMA and they've been talking about UFC a lot recently, and as I've started training Muay Thai I guess it's kind of related, and wanted to check it out. I have the trial fight pass but am not sure really where to start!

    It seems to go back quite a few years - can anyone suggest a season to start on?

    A season? Do you mean the Ultimate Fighter?

    If so, start with the first season.They had silly games that they have gotten rid of, but to understand UFC history- you really need to see the finale of season 1. The fight that saved the UFC from failing.

    Thank you for your reply! Maybe ultimate fighter is what I'm looking for. I just found them under the title 'TUF1,2' etc so that gives me a good logical order to follow through :)

    Is 'TUF' the main branch of UFC? I think what I mean is, the aspect of UFC that has the biggest fights? (Sorry for such newbie questions, new sports are always tough to approach!)

    Mangosteen Hold strong not

    TUF is "The Ultimate Fighter"
    it's a reality show that UFC (a world wide MMA organisation runs) to find and test the best fighters.

    UFC is a company that has been organising fights since the 90s (they're kind of like a world boxing organisation for MMA)

    I don't know how fight pass works, but UFC events are numbered.

    I've only followed UFC for a year or 2, but I would recommend the Gracie/akebono fight. :)

    And you get to understand why Josh Koscheck is widely accepted as a massive douche nozzle.
