TORONTO UFC TICKETS
- The UFC Toronto stands for Ultimate Fighting Championship. It takes
place in a ring called, "the octagon." Inside the octagon are the two
competitors, or fighters, and one referee. The referee ensures the rules
of the fight are not broken, and if they are, the referee may give out
penalties, such as, point deductions. In non title fights, there are
three 5 minute rounds. Title fights have five 5 minute rounds.
TORONTO UFC TICKETS - The fighters can win the match a few different
ways, for example, knockouts and submissions are among the favorite
finishes for most fans. Then there are wins by referee stoppage,
disqualification for illegal attacks and TKO (Technical Knockout). The
least favorite way to end the fight for most of the fans, would most
likely be, going to the judges cards.
There are 3 judges for every fight. These judges score the fighters by
aggression, ring control and fighting technique. A fighter can score a
max of 10 points per round, whichever fighter has the most points at the
end of the fight, is declared the winner. For fighters, it is never
good to leave it in the hands of the judges, because anything can happen
at that point. Many fighters have looked like they dominated the entire
fight, but lost when it came down to the judges cards.
Point deductions and disqualifications can occur if a fighter performs
any illegal actions during the fight. Some of these actions include,
head butting, eye gouging of any kind, biting, hair pulling, groin
attacks, clawing or gouging, and striking the head or spine with a
downward elbow. These attacks put the fighters at risk for permanent
damage, therefor may not be done.
The growing popularity of the UFC has spawned a television reality show
called, The Ultimate Fighter. This show has changed formats over the
past few years, but the way this competition works is, fighters from all
over, come together to compete against each other for a contract to
fight professionally with the UFC.
In this competition, there are 2 teams, each team has a professional UFC
fighter as their coach. The competitors live together in a house for
six weeks with no televisions and no telephones. Their only job, is to
train, learn from their coaches, and work as hard as they can, to become
the next ultimate fighter, and win the UFC contract.
During this six weeks, the fighters are matched up for two 5 minute
rounds. Whichever fighter loses the fight, is eliminated from the
competition and is no longer eligible for the contract. However, there
have been a few cases, where a fighter has been eliminated, but then had
the rare opportunity to come back and try again.
Once the elimination comes down to the final two competitors, each
fighter goes home to train with their own team, then comes back to fight
live in front of thousands of eager fans in the UFC 129 Toronto main
event. The winner of this final fight, receives the UFC contract, and a
chance to show the whole world, what he brings to the table, in the
world of mixed martial arts.
