About the Octagon®
The octagonal competition mat and fenced-in design are registered trademarks and/or trade dress of Zuffa, LLC and are symbolic of the highest quality mixed martial arts events presented under the UFC® brand name. In 1993, UFC events were the first to feature an eight-sided competition configuration which has become known worldwide as the UFC Octagon®. The UFC Octagon® is regularly featured on UFC Pay-Per-View events, UFC® Fight Night and UFC FIGHT PASS® events, as well as The Ultimate Fighter® reality TV series.
The UFC-Style Octagon® is a hallmark of the UFC brand, and is available for training at the UFC Performance Institute and most UFC GYM® franchises in the United States as part of the Club’s training offerings or services.
