Starting out as a competition to determine the most effective combatant martial art, fighters of disciplines such as karate,
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Tae Kwon Do and Muay Thai were invited to compete in an inaugural event in Denver, Colorado in 1993.
During subsequent meet-ups, competitors began to adapt their styles to incorporate techniques outside their own discipline
and what is today known as mixed martial arts was born.
