The Ultimate Fighter

By MMAjunkie.com Staff [mmajunkie-staff] After a remarkable season debut (4.1 million) and record-setting third episode (5.3 million), the heavyweights-only season of the UFC's competition reality series has drawn between just 2.4 and 2.8 million viewers for the past seven episodes.

Chuck Mindenhall, UFC - You talk about your ups and downs, Amir Sadollah has already cornered the market on career yo-yoing. After improbably winning the The Ultimate Fighter 7 as a middleweight over the favored CB Dollaway, the 29-year-old Sadollah had established himself as a sort of c...

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - Following a stint on the seventh season of The Ultimate Fighter and four post-show fights that have established him as a prospect to watch in the welterweight division, Matt Brown's fanbase has grown significantly since 2008. But in September, he lost his biggest fa...

By Jesse Holland While Bonnar’s contributions to the sport before, during and after his run on The Ultimate Fighter will probably keep him from being unemployed anytime soon, dropping three straight could be a major blow to his marketability as a fighter.

By Kris Karkoski Soszynski (18-9-1), a semifinalist on The Ultimate Fighter 8, had won three-straight in the UFC over Shane Primm, Brian Stann, and Andre Gusmao before falling to Brandon Vera in his most-recent bout in August. Bonnar (11-6), the runner-up on the first season of The Ultimate Fighter, is 5...

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - The Ultimate Fighter season one winner. Former UFC light heavyweight champion. Best-selling author. There are a lot of titles to describe 205-pound contender Forrest Griffin, but no matter what you call him, the fact remains that the Las Vegan is one of the UFC's most i...

By Jesse Holland Escudero bested season favorite, Phillipe Nover, via unanimous decision at TUF 8 Finale to capture the 155-pound crown from The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, on December 13.

By Kris Karkoski The UFC has released lightweight Junie Browning after the controversial Ultimate Fighter 8 contestant was arrested on Tuesday in Las Vegas, according to Yahoo Sports. After being taken to a room at the hospital, the Ultimate Fighting Championship fighter tried to leave and became angr...

It was billed as the biggest fight in the history of The Ultimate Fighter and one fighter was less than impressive. And that fighter was Roy “Big Country” Nelson. As predicted, Roy Nelson took out Kimbo Slice. But it was not all that impressive. He was fighting a guy that has next-to-no MMA train...

It’s tough, it really is. I’m trying like crazy to avoid all the reports and stories about this fight Wednesday night on The Ultimate Fighter. Roy Nelson is taking on Kimbo Slice in what’s supposed to be one of the most viewed fights in the show’s history. It’s getting so much recognition that t...

By Ivan Trembow(noreply@blogger.com) Well, Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson has had his chance on The Ultimate Fighter, and in the first round of the 16-man tournament, he lost to Roy Nelson by TKO. The fight itself wasn't as ugly as the heavyweight fight on the previous episode of The Ultimate Fighter, but it was pretty ugly in its o...

A forgettable episode of The Ultimate Fighter really served to set the stage for the Roy Nelson vs. Kimbo Slice fight on next week’s episode. Rashad seems to have this whole “coaching” thing figured out, which is why he put his most experienced fighter against the biggest question mark in sh...

 CA We move on to the fight, which had a good ending but left me unimpressed with both fighters. Round one saw some lackadaisical stand up for the first minute or so and then Lawson took Dent down quickly. He tried some submission attempts but nothing was ...

“You Ready?? Welcome to the Ultimate Fighter, m----------rs!!” As much as I wish I could take credit for that gem, it was actually dropped by Dana White onto the UK half of The Ultimate Fighter 9 cast after he rolled into Michael Bisping’s home gym, the Wolfslair, in a crazy Benz minivan.

By Nichole Lesniak I honestly don’t know if it’s because I’ve been paying such special attention to it while writing about this season, or what, but I feel like this is one of the best seasons of TUF to date.

By Larry Vollmer “Here’s my beef with Kimbo Slice… I’ll give it to you too that he is training and taking it serious, but this guy was fighting in back yards a few months ago. The reality is if I put Kimbo Slice on ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ the reality show, he wouldn’t win it.”

By James Iannotti Not like it matters now, but Elite XC fighter Seth Petruzelli talks about the promotion “hinting” to keep his fight against Kimbo Slice this past Saturday night standing rather than to try and take the street brawler to the ground. He ended up ending the fight standing in just 14 seconds. “Th...

By SamCaplan As for Jackson, he was made for TUF. Tito Ortiz, Chuck Liddell, and Randy Couture are three of the biggest draws in the history of mixed martial arts.
