UFC co-founder Art Davie named to UFC Hall of Fame
After 25 years, Art Davie is finally being credited for the huge role he had to play in the birth of Mixed Martial Arts. Every single MMA competitor and fan on earth owes this man a great deal.
Art teamed up with the Gracie family back in the early 1990's and achieved the seemingly impossible task of creating the UFC, and continuing to grow it for 5 more years before ultimately selling it to Zuffa, and the rest is history.
In the below interview done by MMA Junkies John Morgan, Davie talks about the early days and tells some fun stories about the amount of hurdles they had to overcome to create the UFC in the first place. This is a much watch for the hardcore fans.
Thanks for checking this out, Art is a living legend and it's a lot of fun listening to him talk about the old days, how they were making up rules on the night and winging it every step of the way. When did you start wacthing MMA? Let me know below.

I enjoyed this one. Dana White has really been the one to get all the attention. They probably designed it this way. I've spent way too many hours watching UFC PPV.
Interesting. Always about marketing and salesmanship. Without that the fights wouldn't have mattered.
Haha I have spent a ludicrous amount of time watching MMA too man haha. I know what you mean about Dana, he did have a huge part to play, but the guys who actually built the foundations don't get enough credit at all.
