UCW is the first team-based MMA league in the United States. Twelve independently-owned clubs. East vs. West. A full season, playoffs, and a championship — broadcast-first.
Request the Business PlanThe UFC produces hundreds of fighters annually. Only a handful ever become household names. Casual fans watch a great fight and forget the fighter's name a week later. The sport has never given fans what every other major league takes for granted.
fighters compete in the UFC annually — fewer than 20 reach broad recognition
per year elite fighters compete — not enough to build lasting casual loyalty
of PFL fans were new to MMA — they came from team sports and want a league format
invested in team-based MMA — the category has never been successfully executed
UCW gives MMA fans what every other major sport already has: a team to root for, week after week, year after year — independent of any individual fighter's career.
East and West divisions, six clubs each. Independently owned and operated.
Co-ed rosters across multiple weight classes. 84 contracted fighters at launch.
5 division games + 3 cross-division games. 4 home, 4 away per club.
Intimate 500–1,500 seat venues. Built for broadcast, not arena scale.
UCW's twelve clubs are organized into two divisions. The East vs. West rivalry runs through every game of the regular season and culminates in the UCW Championship.
MMA is the fastest-growing sport in the world. The infrastructure for team-based MMA has never been built. UCW intends to be first.

Jason Ogle is the founder and CEO of the UnCivil War Fight Club League of America. He created UCW to solve a problem he saw clearly as a lifelong combat sports fan: MMA produces thousands of great athletes but has never given fans a team to follow.
UCW is Jason's answer — a fully documented, franchise-structured sports league with a complete business plan, financial model, go-to-market timeline, and regulatory strategy. The concept is stage-complete. The league is ready to build.
UCW is headquartered in Dallas, Texas.
