As everyone knows already, Donald Trump has been elected as the 45th president of United States of America, which is arguably the most powerful position on this planet. Trump has already had massive impact and revolutionized many different things. Most recent impact was the immigration ban (federal travel ban) which left many people's arguments and agreements in some places. As he had impacted so many things already, he also had an impact on UFC which I'm going to write about.

Trump - Federal Travel Ban
Trump has signed immigration ban on Muslim-dominated countries such as Syria, Iran, Iraq and etc. This federal travel ban will have a direct impact on UFC fighters and employees from those countries, but fortunately UFC announced to "do their best to ensure our fighters and employees are able to compete and do their jobs."
Trump - UFC 205
UFC 205 was a very big event where its main event was title match with Alvarez vs McGregor. Trump also had an impact on UFC 205 when Dana White announced that Trump will not attend UFC 205 despite the fact that he was going to attend. Some supporters bought and planned to attend UFC 205 because of Donald Trump but it had and impact as he announced not to attend.

History of UFC

UFC, short for ultimate fighting championship, is possibly world's most famous and profitable martial arts, broadcasting in over 150 countries in 22 different languages. It was founded in November 1993, with its founders, John Milius, Bob Meyrowitz, Rorion Gracie, Art Davie and Campbell McLaren. The purpose of this competition is to combine different types martial arts and using them to beat your opponent, in a stage called the 'Octagon' (eight sided shape).

UFC's first event was held in November 1993, with its name UFC 1 : The Beginning, at the McNichols Sport Arena with around 7800 spectators. At the time, UFC was nothing compared to the current version. It was a newly founded martial arts so UFC itself, wasn't very recognisable. There was only 1 event in 1993, but it gradually built up year after year, as it become more famous and exciting. Last year (2016), there were 41 UFC events. The event 'UFC 202', had approximately 1.3million viewers world wide on a single event. Most viewers in history of UFC was approximately 5 million viewers. These stats tells us that UFC is growing both prominently and financially.

In the history of UFC, the events was held 269 times in USA, 27 times in Brazil, 22 times in Canada, 19 times in United Kingdom, 10 times in Australia, 8 times in Japan, 5 times in Germany, 4 times in Mexico and Sweden, 3 times in Ireland and China, twice in UAE, and once in Croatia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Philippines, Poland, Puerto Rico, Singapore and South Korea, proving that UFC is globally well-known and is very entertainingly attractive.
