I think that the only reason they are called exhibitions is because the results arent shown live (which they have to be if requested in an official fight).
Lauzon also only got warned once that I heard. Thats not a "repeated" warning, which is key because if he had been warned verbally more than a few times it would be much more likely to have been scored as a DQ if it came to that I think.

1) The fight can be ruled a "No Contest" in the event of any illegal blow. There was a fight last year (in Las Vegas) (not UFC) that was ruled a No Contest with less than a minute to go in the fight.
2) They are also exhibitions because of the 2 rounds and a sudden death.
3) NSAC are there to score the fight, just like they would for real, for the effect.
4) A fighter / doctor / judge does not need to be consulted if the official in the ring make the call. Mario did not have to say anything to Cole, or even call the doctor up. If was inclined to do so, he could call the fight without ever speaking to anyone.
5) He was warned in the first and I heard him again in the first tie up on the ground in the 2nd.
