Actually, it did. UFC 1 was in 1993. We used to rent them on tha VHS whenever a new one would come out.
I think the first 2 were only on VHS and then after that they were PPV. I think the first PPV we had was Royce struggled against Kimo, won but couldn't continue. I think it was like an off duty LAPD cop who won as a fill-in.
The best was no size limits. Keith Hackney v Emmanual Yarborough was ugly, once he got him down, big guy couldn't move, just haymakers coming down.
The other that sticks with me is Remco Pardoel v Orlando Veit I think. Remco was a 265~ jiu jitsu fighter, Orlando was some odd whirling dirvish style and like 160lbs. Remco put him a crucifix and elbowed his head against the mat. Beyond brutal.
