Stukje geschiedenis:
The vale tudo sub-culture was mainly based in Rio de Janeiro, but many fights also took place in the northern region, as well as the southern region and the Bahia state.
The scene in Rio de Janeiro focused mainly on the intense rivalry between Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Luta Livre, whereas fights in the other regions featured more diverse martial arts competing in the events.
Rorion Gracie of the famous Gracie family would eventually emigrate to the United States and introduced vale tudo to a new market when he founded the UFC in 1993. The enormous success of the UFC created a vale tudo explosion around the world, particularly in Japan, as well as a resurgence and newfound popularity back in Brazil.
This would result in the creation of two vale tudo promotions, the WVC and the IVC, which featured prominently in the 1990s and were also televised on Brazilian TV and Pay-Per-View.
