ARTICLE 3 – WAYS TO WIN
The winner of the bout shall be determined by one of the following methods:
- KO (Knockout) – Fighter is knocked out.
- TKO (Technical Knockout) – When a fighter has gained a remarkably superior
advantage over his opponent and the referee determines that the inferior fighter is in
danger if the fight continues.
- Submission – When the contestant surrenders, submission and/or forfeiture is
expressed either verbally or by tapping more than three (3) consecutive times on the
mat or the opponent's body using the hand or the foot.
- Doctor Stoppage – When a fighter is injured by an opponent's legal attack and if a
ringside doctor determines that the injured fighter is incapable of continuing the fight,
the injured fighter loses the match.
- Renunciation – The fighter's corner men may surrender the fight by "throwing in the
towel." In case the referee fails to see it, the BFC™ organizing committee can stop
the fight.
- Disqualification – If a fighter is disqualified because of an illegal action as per
Article 4, his opponent will be deemed the winner of the bout.
No Contest

- An illegal action disqualifies both fighters.
- The judges, doctors, or the BFC™ organizing committee end the fight because of an
accident.
- An accident causes either or both fighters to be unable to continue.
Technical Draw
The match shall be ruled a "Technical Draw" when:
- If at the end of the bout, a winner has not been determined according to the criteria
defined in Articles 3.1 – 3.6.
- The judges, doctors, or the BFC™ organizing committee end the fight because of an
accident.
