Here's what I know.

Fights that take place in the tuf house, are Non Sanctioned Fights. The outcomes of these fights don't go on a fighters record, which is why people don't realize Nate beat Gray Maynard twice. Anyways.

 

I also know Dana White HATES Mazagotti.

 

If the fights aren't sanctioned, why would UFC have to get a "sanctioned" referee? Couldn't UFC hire their own without any fallback?

This. They are sanctioned fights, just not professional fights.

They are sanctioned fights. They are just recorded as exhibition fights.

I always thought that TUF fights were considered sanctioned exhibition matches, hence why they did not count towards their official "professional" record.

Similar to aoki's exhibition MMA/K1 fight against Nagashima. He got KTFO'd but it does not fall under his MMA record.

EDIT: several people answered before me, d'oh

I guess I halfway understand. They're "sanctioned" exhibition fights, but I guess I don't understand why UFC has to sanction exhibition fights.  Anyone answer that?
