Ranik Ultimate Fighting Federation is the first Chinese mixed martial arts organization sanctioned by the General Administration of Sport of China. While the events of RUFF allow for international fighters, they must have permanent residence in China in order to compete in the organization. The winners of the title fights will be crowned as the national MMA champions of China in their respective weight classes. RUFF held its first event in August 2011 in Shanghai, before presenting in Chongqing, Hohhot, Nanjing, and Sanya. In February 2013 RUFF awarded Championship belts in five weight classes, at their Superfight event. Together with the Championship belt, each winner was awarded 1,000,000 RMB. RUFF also aired a 10 episode reality series RUFF: Journey leading up to the Superfight. A new episode will air each week and will be nationally televised across China. read more
