According to the December 2001 issue of the Journal of Combative Sport, as of November 2001, 1101 fighters have died in a boxing ring. Don't know if they include UFC but likely so.
No one has died in the UFC. Boxing is far more hazardous because of the heavy padded gloves
No one has ever died in the UFC, the deaths in boxing more likely occur because of the standing 8 count. Continually receiving blows to the head is a good way to receive a brain injury.
No one in the UFC, but three men have died in MMA. Sam Vasquez in 2007, Douglas Dedge in 1998, and a 35 year old man only identified as Lee in South Korea in 2005.
Sam Vasquez of Houston died in 2007 a few weeks after suffering a blow to the chin in an MMA fight. The blow knowcked him out immediately and he was rushed to the hospital. After a few weeks and surgeries to relieve clots he suffered a major stroke and died. He had a 7 year old son.

Yes. I don't know of any MMA gym that prohibits women from participating. There are some women's professional and amateur MMA fights around the country, although they are relatively rare. Perhaps most notably, EliteXC, the MMA league aired on ShoTime, has women's MMA.
Just adding on to the first guy, Shelby Marxx is a very famous WMMA star, she has many championships if I remember right.

Who would win Mike Tyson or kimbo slice?
mike tyson
...........
kimbo slice would whoop him
---
I don't see Kimbo Slice beating Mike Tyson. Although Slice did train in MMA, he was pretty lousy at it and his street fights are all pure boxing based fights. Tyson was on of the best heavyweight boxers of all time, and the youngest champion (beating Trevor Berbick for the HW championship at age 20.) Tyson had great speed and cardio but some of his best strengths were his phenomenal power and head movement known to as "bobbing and weaving" you sometimes see Slice doing in fights.
I also think Mike Tyson in his prime would stand a better chance in an MMA bout than an MMA fighter would in a boxing bout against him.

How many years does a average fighter train before becoming a pro ufc fighter?
This question cannot be given a generalized answer because the longevity of a fighters career cannot be predicted. Some fighters retire after a few fights when they suffer career threating injuries while some fight for years. For ex: Brock Lesnar's career was cut short due to his "Diverticultis" and he had to retire after a career that spanned 7 fights and just 4 years. Whereas, guys like Anderson Silva have been fighting almost 15+ years. His first fight was in 1997 and he has been fighting regularly ever since.

pound for pound is a way of saying without the obvious weight differance, is this guy who's 140lbs a better fighter than this guy who's 240lbs, it's who would win hypothetically if weight didn't matter. so the best pound for pound fighter would be simply the best, even though he'd lose to someone because of size.
