Born From the Biggest
Brand in Sports

Founded By Champions

Nearly 30 years ago, entrepreneur Art Davie, director John Milius and Brazilian Jiu-Jistu Grand Master Rorion Gracie envisioned a never-before-seen martial arts tournament designed to celebrate all styles of martial arts from around the world. Working together, the three men brought Ultimate Fighting Championship to life.

Today, under the leadership of Dana White, UFC’s renown as a premium global sports brand has skyrocketed — and a recent partnership with ESPN has helped launch mixed martial arts into the mainstream of American athletic competition.

UFC GYM IS FOUNDED

Looking for a way to give their athletes another chance at victory after the Octagon™, UFC management began to develop an investment opportunity suited to the training and skill set of elite UFC MMA fighters. The idea was simple: build a fitness facility that could provide everything an athlete would require under one roof.

UFC GYM was the result. The first major brand extension of UFC, UFC GYM emerged in 2009 with the help of Mark Mastrov, founder of another global fitness center brand, co-founder of NEFC, and an owner of the Sacramento Kings.

“COVID made opening a bit more challenging, but corporate’s experience and guidance helped me trememendously. There were numerous times where I was ready to throw my arms in the air and give up. I can’t thank the corporate team enough for their support. Now, we’re leading the entire company in NMUs, units, and EFTs.”
