Despite its name, it was considered a minor circuit, overshadowed by the Ultimate Fighting Championship, with which it had a close working relationship. In its early existence, TKO used a boxing-style ring to stage bouts, later became the only promotion other than the UFC to use a UFC-spec Octagon cage. The TKO president was Stéphane Patry, who also managed several fighters. TKO's programming is currently seen on Fight Network and RDS in Canada which also has an IPTV offering on Joost.

Famous quotes containing the words major and/or league:
“A major misunderstanding of child rearing has been the idea that meeting a child’s needs is an end in itself, for the purpose of the child’s mental health. Mothers have not understood that this is but one step in social development, the goal of which is to help a child begin to consider others. As a result, they often have not considered their children but have instead allowed their children’s reality to take precedence, out of a fear of damaging them emotionally.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they graduate the best—it’s all they’ll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money—provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don’t need it.”
—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
