Result and classification are separate. A reported winner comes from the season record alone; a verified one is stated by an official source or our own result records. Only sourced professional bouts count toward a professional record — house exhibitions and unresolved house bouts never do.
A seeded sixteen-woman bracket, unusual for the show. Seeds are given by the source and recorded.
team_rosters — Tecia Torres is listed on both team rosters by the source. She lost in the first round, was given a second chance, and moved to Team Pettis — so both listings are describing different points in the season rather than contradicting each other. Recorded once per team with the move noted, rather than silently deduplicated.
replacement_contestant — The source names Seohee Ham as a replacement fighter and explicitly does not state her seeding or which bouts she contested. Recorded as a roster entry with no bracket placement rather than inserted into a round.
Season data from the season record, retrieved 2026-09-07. The final is verified against our own ufc_bouts / ufc_bout_results row. That card loaded during backfill window B-2014 before the window failed, so eleven of its bouts exist; nothing here is imported.
Contested for the inaugural UFC Women's Strawweight Championship rather than for a contract — the only kind of TUF final that ends with a belt.
