The Quiz: What shape is the ring that UFC fighters compete in?
Hexagon
Circle
Square
Octagon
In 1993, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was born as a professional mixed martial arts (MMA) organization. While the UFC is only a few decades old, MMA has its origins in the ancient Greek sport of pankration, which was added to the Olympic Games in 648 BCE. However, instead of fighting in a stadium, the UFC uses an eight-sided ring for competitions. The Octagon is 38 feet in diameter with 30 feet of fighting space and is 5 feet, 9 inches high.
The correct answer to this quiz is Octagon.
