UFC will celebrate 25 years with a 25-part documentary series that will debut in September to celebrate the company’s silver anniversary. Entitled UFC 25 Years in Short, the compilation of short films will present 25 UFC stories, one for each year of the promotion’s existence, which will examine UFC’s evolution, characters, and influence. Content launches on Sept. 17 on UFC FIGHT PASS and films will premier one at a time, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 3p over an eight-week span. Many of the shorts will be helmed by award-winning directors and producers, including several alums of ESPN’s landmark 30 for 30 film series, including Nick and Colin Barnicle, Adam Condal, Jason Hehir, Rory Karpf, Dan Marks, and Matt Ogens.
“This project is a fun way to tell the history of UFC,” said UFC President Dana White. “Each one of these films is linked to a pivotal moment in the UFC timeline, and together they represent our complete story. We’re working with some amazingly talented directors and producers on this project, and I think UFC fans will really enjoy these films.”
