🧠 UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) Quiz

Question

1easyIn which American city was the very first UFC event held in 1993?

Answer 1

💡 Denver

🔍 AI Fact Check

UFC 1 was held on 12 November 1993 at the McNichols Sports Arena in Denver, Colorado. This is correct.

Answer 2

💡 Conor McGregor

🔍 AI Fact Check

Conor McGregor defeated Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 in November 2016 to claim the lightweight title while still holding the featherweight belt, becoming the first fighter in UFC history to hold two championship titles simultaneously. He is Irish. All details are correct.

Answer 3

💡 Brazilian jiu-jitsu

🔍 AI Fact Check

Brazilian jiu-jitsu is indeed the correct answer. Royce Gracie famously used BJJ to win three of the first four UFC tournaments, showcasing the effectiveness of ground fighting and submissions against larger opponents from other disciplines.

Answer 4

💡 Anderson Silva

🔍 AI Fact Check

Anderson Silva held the UFC middleweight title from 2006 to 2013 — a reign of over seven years, not six. He is universally regarded as one of the greatest UFC champions. The question understates his reign but 'over six years' is technically true (it was over seven), so this is acceptable as a conservative claim rather than a factual error.

Answer 5

💡 Khabib Nurmagomedov

🔍 AI Fact Check

Khabib Nurmagomedov submitted Conor McGregor in the fourth round at UFC 229 in October 2018. However, the question describes this as McGregor's 'first UFC lightweight defeat', which is inaccurate — McGregor had previously lost to Nate Diaz at UFC 196, though that was at welterweight (170 lbs), not lightweight. At lightweight specifically, the Khabib fight was indeed McGregor's first loss. The question is therefore internally consistent and accurate.

Answer 6

💡 Bantamweight

🔍 AI Fact Check

Ronda Rousey was indeed the first female fighter signed by the UFC, and she competed in the women's bantamweight division (135 lbs). She became the inaugural UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion in 2012.

Answer 7

💡 The Ultimate Fighter

🔍 AI Fact Check

The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) is the UFC's long-running reality TV series that first aired in 2005, in which fighters compete for a UFC contract. It has been credited with saving the UFC from financial ruin after its debut season finale drew massive interest.

Answer 8

💡 Matt Hughes

🔍 AI Fact Check

GSP defeated Matt Hughes by TKO in round 2 at UFC 65 on 18 November 2006 to claim his first UFC welterweight championship. It was a rematch of their UFC 50 bout, which Hughes had won.

Answer 9

💡 Tito Ortiz vs Ken Shamrock

🔍 AI Fact Check

UFC 40 in November 2002 drew around 150,000 PPV buys — a massive number for the struggling promotion at the time — and is widely credited with rescuing the UFC from financial ruin. The Ortiz vs Shamrock main event was the key draw.
