How they measure reach.

That was a question asked not long ago.

Great idea.

First, there's no such sport as "UFC" or "Ultimate Fighting". The sport is called "mixed martial arts" or "MMA" so a link to the mixed martial arts wiki page should go up the top somewhere.

Maybe provide a list and links to information on the largest mixed martial arts organizations e.g:
UFC
Pride (now defunct)
WEC
Strikeforce
Dream
World Victory Road Presents: Sengoku
Bellator

Links to the early combat sports that were hybrids of various martial arts before we had a globally recognized sport called mixed martial arts would be handy. I'm talking stuff like Vale Tudo and the "World Vale Tudo Championship" (WVC), Pancrase and Shooto.

Some Aussie coverage should be put in also. The Cage Fighting Championship (CFC) is our biggest organization. Impact FC as well (if we ever see them again).

That's all just the basic stuff off the top of my head. I know there's other regulars on this board who could provide more ideas, especially on the early days of MMA.

Thanks, I'll do my best and the first post of this thread should evolve over time. I welcome all suggestions.
