* The very first few UsefulNotes/MixedMartialArts events under the {{UsefulNotes/UFC}} were billed as having "no rules," but in reality there were prohibitions against biting, gouging and fish-hooking. Even still, this left quite a lot of "dirty" moves left open, such as groin attacks, small joint manipulation and hair pulling. Modern MMA has a strict rule set, but still has a lingering reputation for being "no holds barred."

The [[UsefulNotes/BrazilianJiuJitsu Gracie family]] later exported into the US, founded the UFC in the same model and the rest is history.

In modern times, MMA has largely supplanted vale tudo.
