It has been called the most important fight in UFC history – and even the most important fight in the history of MMA by some. The short-term effect “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 1 light heavyweight final between Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar had on the UFC in particular was it turned the promotion into a hot property – one that could quickly climb out of debt and stay in business. The long-term effect, of course, was that by doing that, the UFC has become one of the biggest sports properties in the world. UFC President Dana White is always quick to point out the importance of Griffin-Bonnar I and how it saved the company.
