Thanks, bro, you seem to know your stuff. Which size was used in the first UFC tournament?

Oh, God they weren't the same I think

They used the same since the Zuffa era , would have to do some research tbh

Maybe someone who has a UFC encyclopedia would know. Some early fights had massive cages, larger than the current large PPV cage. The fence heights were a little lower than they currently have, which is a little strange. Guessing when Tank tried to toss someone over it changed.

"How many UFC octagon sizes are there"

When I googled this, it took me to www.ufc.com and on their website it states the octagon is 750 square feet and measures 30 feet across and 6 feet high.
 
Counter/defensive and fighters that like to "run" don't like the 25 footer

State Athletic commissions choose which one to use. Very few choose the smaller
 
I think at least 3. That UFC 200 one looked like a small field.

I remember when they did 3 events 3 days in a row in Vegas and used different sizes for some reason. Seems completely illogical, but I've heard a number of conspiracy theories about bigger cages being used when they want their striking cash cow to not get grinded by wrestlers.
 
I hate the fact that there's different sizes. All basketball courts, soccer fields, football fields are the same size for a reason. Different sizes makes fights different, gives certain advantages and disadvantages. If you want a sport to be legit things like this have to be standard.

Football (soccer) pitches are all different sizes actually
 
Unless something has recently changed it's two sizes.

I don't think soccer fields are the same size, and I'm pretty sure baseball fields aren't either.

I just learned about the soccer fields! I did NOT know that! Baseball fields are definitely different in terms of their outer edges but I believe the inner diamond is a standard size; but still I feel in fighting, having different sized cages makes a much larger difference than other sports. It affects the game plan and effectiveness of certain disciplines
 
They almost always use the larger cage I can only think of 4-5 occasions where they used the smaller and there weren't any HWs on the card
