UFC 11


UFC 11: The Proving Ground was a mixed martial arts event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on September 20, 1996, at the Augusta Civic Center in Augusta, Georgia. The event was broadcast live on pay-per-view in the United States, and later released on home video.

History

The card featured an eight-man tournament, as well as two alternate bouts in case of an injury, and to fill time for the pay-per-view broadcast.
Due to multiple injuries and fatigue, no alternates were able to continue after their semifinal matches.
Roberto Traven had a broken hand after his alternate match and the championship was won by forfeit.
Rich Goins returned as the ring announcer.
The event, with only a buyrate of 92,000, was one of the least purchased UFC events.
This was the first and only UFC tournament to end by default.
Due to Mark Coleman winning by default, and the vast amount of short matches, the PPV has been called "Incomplete" and "disorganised" by viewers.
Igor Vovchanchyn was invited to fight at UFC 11, but could not participate due to visa issues as well as dissatisfaction with the offer.
