Ultimate Fighting Championship introduced rules to make the sport safer, including determining weight classes, rounds, and time limits. Other regulations prohibit actions such as biting, eye gouging, headbutting, and strikes to the spine or back of the head. Fighters compete in a ring or fenced area with padded gloves, without shoes or headgear.
