Start a career on beginner and select judo as your style. The weight class shouldn't matter, but I went with flyweight and went with the tallest they would let me be.
When you train, put everything into takedowns and joint submission. Once those are maxed, you can continue to work on the other ground and submission stats, but really only those two are needed. Once you get access to a gameplan, use chess master as soon as you can (and when you get two slots, use the one that slows their stamina after a takedown).
For each match, don't bother wasting time trying to beat up their body. It's really not necessary on this difficulty setting. Just immediately shoot for the single leg into sidemount (LT+right stick toward and up). If that's not working for you, use the slam version (although this one is supposedly easier to stuff) by pressing LT+LB+right stick toward and up.
Once you hit the mat, just immediately go for the kimura (RB+right stick quarter circle). At this point, the submission is yours if you have a bit of practice. Generally on beginner, the computer will only go two directions back and forth to defend. Just keep practicing and you should be able to nail the kimura on the first try every time. If for some reason you win in another manner or you lose, immediately pause and select quit. This will put you back into the gym and let you try again.
As a note, only your UFC fights count toward this, so if you sub the guys on TUF, it won't count. You'll need 12 straight in the actual UFC. Please comment if you have any questions!
EDIT: Thanks to Epic Debaser for noting that The Ultimate Fighter finale counts as your first fight in the UFC (although in the game you are not eligible for any performance bonuses for this fight, it is on your official UFC record).

Worked perfectly, thanks dude!
One thing I noticed, The Ultimate Fighter final does count towards this achievement, as that counts as your first professional fight.

Yeah! I guess I should clarify that. The finale (just like in real life) is a sanctioned fight and not an exhibition match. Good catch! I'll edit for clarification.

For this trophy you must win 12 fights in a row by submission during your career. This trophy will be much easier on the lower difficulties but isn't too hard on any difficulty if you know the ground game well. There are two tricks pre-match to unlocking this trophy:
1. Increase the choke submission and joint submission attributes to as high as possible as this increases your chances of locking in the submission and making your opponent tap out.
2. Purchasing as many submission moves as possible from the 'Moves' tab in the upgrades section where you upgrade your attributes.
When in the fight, it's best to try and block most of your opponent's attacks until their stamina is low and then take them down using
+ 
+ half rotation on the 
for a power takedown. A power takedown slams your opponent to the mat and reduces their stamina a decent bit. From here transition to side control (which you should already be in if you used a power takedown) and then initiate the submission using 
and a half rotation of the right stick. Now win the mini-game and make your opponent tap out.
This trophy is much easier to complete at the start of your career when your opponents' submission attributes are low so try to get this as soon as you win The Ultimate Fighter and start your UFC contract. If not however, don't worry as with practice it becomes easy and the ground game becomes a huge asset. I started my run when I was 15-0 and 12 submissions in a row took me to 27-0 at which point I found submissions much easier than knocking the opponent out on hard difficulty.

As you play through your career you should earn more than enough evolution points to max out your submission skills, once they are at 100 it becomes much easier to submit opponents. After you have submitted your 12th opponent the achievement will unlock in the results screen post fight.
For some general tips on getting submission wins please see "Submission Season."
