Hi Bloody Elbow!
With MMA, and the UFC, experiencing an upsurge in popularity the past few years, and with MMA overtaking the top 10 PPV buy rates for 2009. We thought it would be really fun to take a look back at the history of the world's most successful MMA organization and highlight some notable trivia. We avoided using overly technical terms and tried to make it as universally understandable as possible.
Please enjoy.

Great job! Lots of interesting little facts.
To be fair, a few more things happened between 648 BC and 1993, but I understand that you can’t put it all in…
Use all ten points.
Ha. It was either going to be more history and less trivia, or less history and more trivia :)

Over 80% of UFC fighters have college degrees? That’s hard to believe. I’m guessing they’re including associate degrees. Even then, still hard to believe.

Maybe hard to believe, but maybe not.

well, they need to get their wrestling background from somewhere
and if i hear joe rogan talk about their bio’s, more often than not he mentions a university for which a given fighter fought. if community colleges count, this might very well be true.
the ufc doesn’t solely consist of war machines. ;)
Go big red!
Duane Ludwig continues to be screwed in the fastest KO rememberance
Give the guy an asterisk or something

Never heard about Urlacher and Bas before that’s funny. Great job!

It’s too bad that the bouncers told him.

Very nice.
Awesome graphics and very entertaining information and trivia.
Dude. It's Anderson Silva.
If he gives a damn he will end Sonnen’s night by either sub or KO.

By Monday morning Chael Sonnen will be pissing out of his neck.

Two thumbs up! It deserves more but sadly I only have two ;)

Rec'd for goodness
But being a Pride fanboy, I’d much appreciate it if you made at least some mention of stuff like the Saku-Royce fight (which was almost 3 times as long as the longest UFC fight you mentioned).
Not being crictical, though. Great job!
Bob Arum thinks I'm a white Nazi skinhead even though I'm a brown grad student (with hair)
Definitely.
Literally limitless amounts of information that could’ve made it. Look out for another infographic coming soon.

Mr MMA.ly
Do you do animated graphics as well? If so I may have some freelance work available if your interested.
