In 1993, a new combat sport was born. Its founders called it the Ultimate Fighting Championship – UFC.It pitted all forms of mixed martial arts against each other with little to no rules and all contained in an octagon-shaped cage.The first contest between a Samoan sumo wrestler and a Dutch kickboxer resulted in several teeth flying through the air.It didn't take long for the sensation to attract some big critics including the late US senator John McCain. He wanted it banned and labelled it a "human cockfight".One of the men responsible for cooking up this new concept was TV producer Campbell McLaren.He tells Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty how he used controversy to market the violent spectacle.This programme contains descriptions of violence.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from football in Brazil, the history of the ‘Indian Titanic' and the invention of air fryers, to Public Enemy's Fight The Power, subway art and the political crisis in Georgia. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: visionary architect Antoni Gaudi and the design of the Sagrada Familia; Michael Jordan and his bespoke Nike trainers; Princess Diana at the Taj Mahal; and Görel Hanser, manager of legendary Swedish pop band Abba on the influence they've had on the music industry. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the time an Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at the President of the United States in protest of America's occupation of Iraq; the creation of the Hollywood commercial that changed advertising forever; and the ascent of the first Aboriginal MP.(Photo: Campbell McLaren.

The Highland Bullpen Baseball Podcast from Scotland lands the legendary MMA promoter and Hollywood producer Campbell McLaren for Episode 13! The UFC co-creator and founder of hit Hispanic MMA promotion Combate Americas left his native Scotland almost 60 years ago but he retains a huge soft spot for the land of his birth. The man whose marketing genius propelled UFC into becoming a sports phenomenon shares some incredible stories from his extraordinary life, featuring a galaxy of stars from the fight world, Hollywood and, of course, baseball. Part One focuses on his journey from a small town near Stirling to the heart of Manhattan, via some tough schooldays in Philadelphia and some 'highs' during his college days at Berkeley in California. Campbell's love of baseball, and its place at the heart of the American experience, shines through as he talks great ballparks, legendary players and his own impressive collection of signed baseballs from many of the game's greats. And we round off the episode with Dave Jr profiling the Philadelphia Phillies, in honour of the first America city that Campbell and his family called home.
