`ultimate fighting,

`Ultimate Combat, started in Salt Lake City recently, is a version of " ultimate fighting, " a sport

`Ultimate Combat may be seen nationwide in the next few years. It began last November as an outlet
`for

`diving right in because it is more dangerous. NHB fighters wear mouthpieces, a protective cup, and
`gloves to protect their knuckles.
`
`NHB or ” ultimate fighting " originated in Brazil and first came to the states about 10 years ago,
`Stidham said. The concept behind it was that there were no rules, but over the years, rules have been
`implemented to protect the fighters.
