UPDATE: DaMarques Johnson stays in the UFC
According to DaMarques Johnson, he's got a multi-fight contract with the UFC. DaMarques said he's not entirely sure on the details, which are being handled by his manager, Monte Cox, but it's either a three- or four-fight deal.

Right now, DaMarques said he is relaxing in Salt Lake, taking a mental break after the run-up to the finale of "The Ultimate Fighter: Team U.S. vs. Team U.K." He was submitted by James Wilks in the welterweight final on June 20, but his strong performance throughout the season earned him another shot with the organization.

Besides the winners, he is the first one of the season nine cast that I can confirm has received a contract.

UPDATE: The UFC confirms that of the TUF season nine cast, DaMarques, Andre Winner, Jason Dent and Nick Osipczak were given different contracts.
