Don't know exacts, but Colture is a ground and pound, and Liddell's a striker.

Most fighters today are hybrid and use multiple styles unlike the old days of Dan Severn and Royce Gracie.

So their are weight divisions now? In the first UFC fight I can remember (in the early 90s) a French Savate practitioner weighing it at no more than 190 lbs took on a 450+ lb Sumo wrestler, and the fight ended quickly with a huge kick to the big guy's face, breaking his nose and making a bloody mess of the ring. Gracie beat the Frenchman in the finals with his usual brilliance.

Do the divisions mimic boxing's, or do they differ slightly?

And how much is the PPV charge?
