The ultimate Fighting Championship Crowning
During the thirty-eight day competition taped this summer, two world-renowned UFC® champions, UFC Welterweight
Champion Matt Hughes and UFC Middleweight Champion Rich Franklin, trained the fighters. The men endured a
grueling regimen of jiu-jitsu, judo, Muay Thai, karate, boxing and wrestling. The intense competition between
the fighters continued after they left the gym - at the Ultimate Fighter™ House. These warriors were forced to
live with each other, knowing that any day they could be forced to fight each other in the UFC Octagon™.
There are two teams and in every episode each team competes in a physical challenge to determine who will have
to fight. Legendary UFC Champion and Season I coach Randy Couture designed these challenges. They combined
old school training techniques with tests of brute strength. Once the opponents were chosen, the fighters were
officially weighed in. Then, in front of their teammates, coaches, and the sanctioning Nevada Athletic Commission,
the two combatants faced off in three five-minute rounds.
For the finale in November, the four semi-finalists will fight in a Live television broadcast with a location
to be determined. In the end, one welterweight and one heavyweight will be crowned the new Ultimate Fighter.
