EVE University Fight Club (UFC) is deeply rooted in the history of EVE University. When EVE Uni was based in Aldrat, the Libold system was dedicated as a frigate free-for-all system for Unistas. What a better way to pay tribute to the 20th Anniversary of Uni than to have an epic session of UFC. We'll have rounds of standard Fight Club as well as a number of prizes to be awarded. At the end, we'll enjoy a frigate free-for-all where you'll not only be able to exercise your bloodlust, you'll also have a chance to get in on a ridiculous killmail. Join me, Élan Vital, for some gratuitous space violence in celebration of EVE Uni. What better way to pay tribute to 20 years than the furious frigate fisticuffs that we call Uni Fight Club.

What if we told you that you can grab a free ship and join us to learn about small-scale PvP in a controlled and supportive environment? What if we told you it will be in the comfort of Slays, just next to Stacmon? What are we talking about?
We're talking about Uni Fight Club. Using UFC-outfitted™ T1 frigates available free on contract, you'll get to engage in 1 vs 1 PVP combat with other Unistas. At any point, you can concede the fight and ask for combat to stop. After each fight, we'll discuss what went well, what didn't go well, what could've gone better, how to get more from the fit, etc. Practical experience with immediate feedback and discussion and a no-podding rule--this is the most risk free, ISK-riskless, and painless way to learn PVP. And lest we forget to mention it, it's a whole lot of fun.
In addition to the 1v1 we are also doing one big FFA (Free for all) at the end. Everyone who participated in Fight Club can join in, everyone can shoot whoever they want and no safety rules apply. That means, if you take part in the FFA, be prepared to lose your ship. Feel free to prepare special fits for stealing kills or whatever else you want to do. To fight in the FFA, same as UFC, is voluntary and totally up to you. The fitting and no podding rules do still apply to FFA.
WHAT CAN I FLY? HOW DOES IT WORK?
Just take a look at the complete rules and fits. You can also find the UFC fits in-game. Simply open the Fitting window, click on the fit browser button (the wrench), then under Hulls & Fits use "UFC" as your search term. You be able to see all the UFC T1 frigates as well as simulate them.
CAN I BRING MY OWN SHIP?
While you can come and make use of free ships, you may also bring your own fits with the original UFC format or perhaps a fit that you've been experimenting with that you want to try out. Of course your fit must follow the same rules as the UFC fits: Tech 1 empire frigates with Tech 1 modules (meta 4 or below), and base Tech 1 ammunition and charges. The one exception to this rule is that you may use Damage Control II modules. You can use your Uni Fight Club experience to help you become more familiar with fitting. Show everyone how devious you are. Defy expectations and bring something heterodox. Test it out and catch someone not expecting your crazy fit.
Please join me in Slays on Wednesday 13 March at 02:00 EVE. Let's have some epic explosions.
For fun! For glory! For 20 more years of our beloved Uni!
