Universal Fighting Arts Organization (UFO) was formed by Antonio Inoki in 1998 to unite the pro wrestling and MMA (mixed martial arts) combat types in hybrid form. With his greatest disciple, Naoya Ogawa, at the helm, Inoki presents MMA-style shows, but with more pro wrestling influence than many MMA promotions have.
