Question
Are Muslim allowed to fight in the ultimate fighter or Mix martial arts cage fights

Answer

AAWW

Both of those sport activities are very violent and cause serious harm and injury to the players because they focus the most in hitting the face, and that is prohibited in Islam. Light hitting while training might be overlooked for training purposes only, but the actual practice is not acceptable at all.
