[4] [1] The organization was created in 2003 and its first event was in Manaus, Amazonas. In 2006 there was an event in Slovenia, the first and so far only, Jungle Fight event held outside of Brazil. No events were held in 2007, but in 2008 it began to hold a series of events in Rio de Janeiro.

Jungle Fight has been described as "easily the best promotion in all of Brazil or South America, for that matter" by Sherdog.com. [5] In Brazil Jungle Fight is broadcast on TV Band, [6] in the United States it is broadcast on ESPN3 and ESPN Deportes. In the Spanish-speaking Latin America, it is broadcast on ESPN.

For years, "Vale Tudo" was used as a synonym for MMA in Brazil, but the term fell into disuse due to the emergence of stricter rules and the influence of the media to have a more "civilized" name. It is now used to refer to an early, more rules-free stage of the modern sport.
