Ultimate Fight Alliance ~ China
Our grateful thanks to Bill Eng for sending us this information introducing the UFA and also for providing us with pictures and results from the first event:
Xian located in central China is home to over 13 dynasties and is famed for being the start of the Silk Road on the eastern side. Xian has been a mixing center since ancient times with the traders coming in from the west.
Xian is also famous in the sports circle with having one of the top 7 Provincial Sports Institutes in China and has created many champions such as Bao Li Gao, Zhao Zhi Long, Na Xun, Qing Ge Le, Dai Shuang Hai, Ao Hai Lin, Wang Guan, and Chinas first fighter to enter the UFC Zhang Tie Quan, etc.. With the influence of MMA growing worldwide, the Xian Sports University set up to develop its MMA team and has had its fighters compete in some of the biggest rings in the world to include UFC, ONE FC, URCC, UMAC, Brave, Legend, Art of War, Spirit MC, Martial Combat, etc…
In 2005 the Art of War in conjunction with Xian Sports Institute and Ultimate Wrestle held their first mma event Xian. That landmark event set the presedence for MMA in China. Ultimate Wrestle continued till 2010 with over 50 events and Art of War had 13 events. Both organizations crated a demand for MMA in China and now with UFA will continue with the action.
The Ultimate Fight Alliance (UFA) was formed in early 2012 with ShaanXi Sheng Wu, Shaanxi TV Station Channel 7, and Coach Zhao Xue Jun of the Xian Sports Institute. This is a landmark event as it the UFA will offer a platform for MMA fighters to develop themselves in China. Fighters from all over China will be able to participate in the fight event. There are plans for fights each month from now – July till December. Thus there will be no shortage of action.
A break from tradition the MMA fights will be held in an octagon cage and instead of a sanda ring. For the inaugural event 9 fights will be held with participating fighters from different teams across China such as Jiang Long Yun’s team from Hei Long Jiang, Ao Hai Lin’s from Beijing, Liu Guo Qi from Guang Zhou, and also fighters from Wuhan, Kunming, etc.
