Q
How can someone be in the UFC if they didn't win the contract in the TUF when they appeared on the show?
A
They may not have won the "6 figure Contract" but depending on their performance they can still be offered a contract to compete in the UFC. This contract may be for less money or fewer fights or with other clauses in place.
Q
How are fights decided?
A
There are several ways a match can end:Knockout (KO): When a fighter becomes unconscious due to strikes, he is knocked out. As MMA rules allow ground fighting, the fight is stopped to prevent further injury to an unconscious fighter.Submission: a fighter may submit by tapping the floor or other fighter or a verbal announcementTechnical Knockout (TKO)- Referee stoppage: The ref may stop a match in progress if: a fighter becomes dominant to the point where the opponent can not intelligently defend himself and is taking damage a fighter appears to be unconscious from a submission hold or due to a strike a fighter appears to have a significant injury such as a cut or a broken boneDoctor Stoppage: the referee will call for a time out if a fighter's ability to continue is in question as a result of apparent injuries, such as a large cut. The ring doctor will inspect the fighter and stop the match if the fighter is deemed unable to continue safely, rendering the opponent the winner. However, if the match is stopped as a result of an injury from illegal actions by the opponent, either a disqualification or no contest will be issued instead.Corner stoppage: a fighter's corner men may announce defeat on the fighter's behalf by throwing in the towel during the match in progress or between rounds.Decision: if the match goes the distance, then the outcome of the bout is determined by three judges.Forfeit: a fighter or his representative may forfeit a match prior to the beginning of the match, thereby losing the match.Disqualification: a "warning" will be given when a fighter commits a foul or illegal action or does not follow the referee's instruction. Three warnings will result in a disqualification. If the foul is blatantly malicious, the fight may be stopped sooner. Moreover, if a fighter is injured and unable to continue due to a deliberate illegal technique from his opponent, the opponent will be disqualified.No Contest: whenever the win conditions stated above cannot be met for any reason, the fight is ruled a No Conteset. i.e. both fighters commit a violation of the rules, or both fighters are KO'd.
