The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion, founded in 1993 by Art Davie and Rorion Gracie. The organization was purchased from its parent company SEG in 2001 by Zuffa LLC, a promotional company owned by Las Vegas casino magnates, Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta and managed by Dana White (current president of operations).[1] Since its inception, and through its current Zuffa management, the UFC has remained one of the more dominant MMA promotions in the world, playing host to a wide field of MMA fighters.[2]
This list provides an up-to-date roster of all Irish fighters currently competing or have previously competed under the UFC promotional banner.[note 1][note 2][note 3][note 4]
The ISO listed next to a Fighters name as well as their birthplace and where they fight out of is determined by information displayed on UFC broadcasts.[note 5]
The team a Fighter trains with is based on who primarily corners them during their professional bouts in the UFC.
Each fight record has four categories: wins, losses, draws, and no-contests (NC).[3] All fight records in this article are displayed in that order, with fights resulting in a no-contest listed in parentheses.[note 6]
