It also signifies or brings the season to a climaxing end as they await a new season according to organizers.
Emmanuel Udeogu, Chairman UFC, while speaking after the draws, said it has been a long season.
According to him, they have made their mistakes, learnt from such errors and accepted to make those corrections going forward to ensure that the experience garnered in their very first season is made to count and birth a better, bigger and more organized second season.
"We thank God for everything.  It has really been a very long season but it's now ending in style.
"We definitely had our own share of challenges being our first season, we made mistakes, learnt from them and hopefully wish to come out stronger next season bigger and better.
