UFC started in 1993, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) brand is in its fourteenth year of operation as a professional mixed martial arts organization offering the premier series of MMA sports events.The UFC organization follows a rich history and tradition of competitive MMA dating back to the Olympic Games in Athens. About 80 years ago, a Brazilian form of MMA known as Vale Tudo (anything goes)
Then, the UFC organization brought MMA to the US. The goal was to find “the Ultimate Fighting Champion” with a concept to have a tournament of the best athletes skilled in the various types of all martial arts, including karate, jiu-jitsu, boxing, kickboxing, grappling, wrestling, sumo and other combat sports. The winner of the tournament would be crowned the champion.
Despite all the blood, violence , the sport is heavily regulated. The fighters can only wear a pair of trunks, and four- to six-ounce gloves to protect their hands. The gloves give very little protection for their opponent. Also, no shirts or shoes are allowed because they could interfere with grappling and kicking.
There are also rules against head-butting, eye-gouging, biting, hair-pulling, throat-striking, spitting at an opponent and stomping an opponent on the ground – just to name a few. So, not everything goes in a UFC bout.

This may need a little more development.

Try and focus on 2 or 3 points, like one is how the UFC is really violent. Then maybe put the second point as what type of person you have to be to win the championship or something (like you have to be determined/dedicated, and be very athletic)

I see what you mean about my first comment being vague, Alex.
I can tell that you have been using other sources for your information. Remember, if you do this, you need to include a bibliography. You also need to use quotation marks to show me where you have taken words directly from the source. Without these two things, you are plagarizing and that is bad.
Your organization needs a little work. You need a strong conclusion, perhaps expressing support for this “sport”.
In your own words, you could tell me: Who is involved? What kind of training is required? What kind of prizes are there?
I hope this is less vague, and helpful.

I am still concerned that you have not included a bibliography. I will not grade this paper until I know your source(s) of information.
