The short answer

What the archive says

01Winning The Ultimate Fighter is not required for a UFC career - Raquel won fight of the season, became the most active fighter from her cast, and was the first from her season to fight for a world title. source →

02On The Ultimate Fighter she fought with a fractured forearm, a broken hand and stitches in her eye, because reporting an injury meant being sent home and replaced. source →

In their words

What was actually said

And then the fight happens and that after fight. So there's this whole routine that goes into everything and having the opportunity to listen to people's encouraging words or just hang out and take your mind off of things. So with the ultimate fighter, you get chosen and for us with my season, like we had a fight to get into the house.
