The current UFC intro

Most MMA fans might have missed the small and minimalistic intro that precedes the broadcasts of UFC events. The new minimalistic intro features flags of different countries that are collapsing into an emerging text and eventually makeup ‘UFC’.

This intro is indeed a subtle reference to the platform UFC provides to all the fighters who represent their countries. UFC intro epitomizes the philosophy of the promotion- bringing the best MMA artists from the world under one roof.

The resurfaced old UFC intro is over 10 years old. Besides, UFC released the resurfaced intro at UFC 143, which was held on Feb 4, 2012.
