This event fails WP:NOT, WP:EVENT, WP:SPORTSEVENT, and WP:NOTNEWSPAPER as there is no indication that the event has any enduring notability and lasting significance. Portillo (talk) 09:23, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Per WP:SPORTSEVENT, this event determined the champion of a top league so it satisfies the notability guideline. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.100.97.195 (talk) 07:36, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of UFC events: Like other early UFC event articles, this article doesn't show evidence that the coverage received by the event is in any way different from routine coverage, so it falls into what Wikipedia is not as it is at best a news report, making it unsuitable for a stand alone topic. At the time the UFC was unregulated, the UFC is a promotion, not a league, and the event did not receive non-routine coverage, so I do not believe that Ultimate Ultimate 1996 in any way meets the sports notability criteria for individual games or series, and that guideline does not exempt the article from having to comply with the what Wikipedia is not policy anyway.
