Attire

Mouthguard

A mouthguard is a protective device for the mouth that covers the teeth and gums to prevent and reduce injury to the teeth, arches, lips and gums...

 are mandatory. Shoes and derogatory markings on ring attire are forbidden. It is within a fighter's discretion to use other protective equipment such as groin guards.

Victory

Matches are won via:

• Submission
  • Physical tap out
  • Verbal tap out
• Knockout
  • A fighter falls from a legal blow and is either unconscious or unable to immediately continue.
• Technical Knockout
  • Referee Stoppage (the referee stops the match after seeing that one fighter is completely dominant to the point of endangering his opponent).
  • Doctor Stoppage (the referee stops the match in the event that a fighter is injured via a legal blow and the ring doctor determines that he cannot continue).
  • Forfeited Match (a fighter's corner throws in the towel).
• Decision
  • If the match reaches its time limit then the outcome of the bout is determined by the three judges. The fight is scored by a 10-point must system per round. A three step procedure per round is followed:

1. Determine winner of round (can be draw),
2. Determine if winner dominated round ,
3. Fouls then factored in (subtract one point per foul from fighter).
   • • Draws are acceptable in URCC matches.
   • Disqualification
     • A "warning" will be given in the form of a yellow card or a red card (any fighter who executes a foul technique shall be penalized with a talent fee reduction) when a fighter commits an illegal action or does not follow the referee's instruction. Two yellow cards shall lead to a disqualification "red card."
     • The referee's decision will always depend upon the level of violation committed by a fighter whether it's intentional or unintentional. Therefore, the referee may execute the "red card" even without showing the first two "yellow cards" as a caution for a disqualification
     • The referees are also authorized to execute the red "disqualification" card if a fighter has deliberately injured his opponent and can no longer compete.
