UFC - Ultimate Fighting Championships

The Ultimate Fighting Championships(R) started in 1993 as a professional mixed martial arts organisation offering the premier series of MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) sports events.

The original concept was to have a tournament of the best athletes who were skilled in the various disciplines of all martial arts, including karate, jiu-jitsu, boxing, kickboxing, grappling, wrestling, sumo and other combat sports.  The winner of the tournament would be crowned the champion.

That was way back then.  Now, UFC is a huge phenomenon in Japan, USA, South America, Europe and Australia.

A recent UFC event in Montreal, Canada attracted more than 21,000 people!  That's the largest audience in North America to witness a mixed martial arts event...ever!

Support The Saint"s Charity

Andy 'The Saint' Sayers supports Friends of English Martyrs.

This charity supports a very small rural school in Oakham, Rutland. English Martyrs Catholic Primary School endorses a policy of ‘Every Child Matters’ throughout the school allowing children of all Faiths, Ethnic backgrounds and Abilities to participate fully in a warm, loving and accepting school environment.

Friends of English Martyrs are a group of volunteer parents who work tirelessly to keep this amazing school open and help provide specialist equipment and resources for all the children.
The charity supports disadvantaged children and their families and helps to pay for cultural, social and educational experiences that they would otherwise be unable to benefit from. Recent projects have included fundraising for outdoor sensory fitness equipment, interactive IT tools for each classroom, specialist reading and handwriting materials and theatre experiences.
