The largest MMA fight library just got even bigger – with the addition today of the International Vale Tudo league.
The IVC was a Vale Tudo promotion which ran 13 events from 1997 to 1999 in Brazil. While MMA in North America at the time was running towards ever greater regulation, the IVC reveled in its renegade reputation, pitting bare-knuckle fighters against each other in single round, 30minute no-holds barred brawls inside a boxing ring. Nevertheless, MMA luminaries like Chuck Liddell, Wanderlei Silva and Dan Severn competed in IVC. Now, almost two decades on, UFC FIGHT PASS gives subscribers the chance to witness 1990s Brazilian Vale Tudo fighting for themselves.
All 13 of the classic IVC shows from Brazil are now live on UFC FIGHT PASS here:

IVC is the latest fight library to be added to the massive FIGHT PASS archive, joining the full libraries of UFC, WEC, PRIDE FC, Strikeforce, WFA, Affliction, EliteXC and IMMAF.
The rights to the libraries of Cage Rage, Pancrase, King of the Cage, Extreme Challenge, Hook N Shoot, UCMMA, XFO and TKO have already been acquired by UFC FIGHT PASS and will appear on the digital streaming service in the coming weeks and months.
