MMA can be traced back to the ancient Greek sport of Pankration, a form of unarmed hand t hand combat introduced in the Olympic Games in 648 B.C.
Modern MMA has its roots in the combination of the 5 Olympic sports of Boxing, Freestyle and Greco-Roman Wrestling. Judo and Tae Kwan Do, with little Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai thrown in for good measure.
In order to be successful today, MMA fighters must be proficient at both striking and grappling. With the growth of MMA, the sport is now attracting world class Olympic and college athletes who will take the sport to the next level. MMA is now widely viewed as the natural successor to boxing for the next generation.
KOTC, the world's most prolific MMA promotion turned 20 years old this past year. Under the leadership of founder Terry Trebilcock, KOTC first began promoting events in 1998 when mixed martial arts was then known as No Holds Barred (NHB) fighting.
During this early period KOTC and Terry Trebilcock became dominant advocates and respected voices in the development and acceptance of rules to govern the emerging sport. Olympic rules for boxing. Judo and wrestling, professional kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu became the foundation upon which the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts Combat were defined. Through promotion of first-class professional events, KOTC has grown to be a force in the industry.
Today KOTC promotes more than 52 live events annually throughout the U.S. and in 8 foreign countries including Australia, Canada, England, Japan, Africa, Philippines, Mongolia and Singapore. KOTC produces large arena events, smaller future legend qualifiers and everything in between. KOTC attributes its ability to produce the only U.S. weekly broadcast event, to an allegiance with fighters and fans as well as its experienced staff.
KOTC has proven to be an integral part of the evolution of MMA and continues to be the world's most dominant MMA Promotion.
