The ninth season of "The Ultimate Fighter," which premieres on April 1 on Spike TV, will feature a unique twist.

While the concept will continue to be two teams of fighters competing against each other while coached by a high-profile UFC fighter, producers made one significant change. This time, there are 16 fighters (eight welterweight and eight lightweight) representing the United Kingdom who are fighting against 16 from the U.S.

"In all the past seasons of the show, we had these little cliques form and everyone developed a strong team identity," UFC President Dana White said. "But this season, it's crazy. With country versus country, the whole team thing goes crazy. It's wild."

Here is a look at the 32 cast members who will compete on the show. The survivors in each weight class will meet to be declared "The Ultimate Fighter" in the live finale June 20 in Las Vegas.

U.S. welterweights

1. Ryan Biglar (2-1): Biglar, 24, is a jiu-jitsu fighter originally from Guam who represents the Cobra Kai in Las Vegas.

Good article from Sherdog's Jake Rossen. I have to agree with it.


Enough ‘TUF’

Monday, March 30, 2009
by Jake Rossen ([email protected])


Schedule the ninth season premiere of Spike’s “Ultimate Fighter” franchise on April 1 -- April Fools’ Day -- and you’ve got me half-believing someone at that network is pretty self-aware.

Few dates could be more appropriate to unspool another cast of devolved tough guys with the collective maturity of a fraternity. Fans like to crow about MMA athletes being more educated than their boxing counterparts, the latter of whom frequently fight their way out of lower class or literal imprisonment with minimal book learnin’. And for the most part, that’s true. But you’d never know it by watching this series, which resembles a MENSA meeting only if there’s something enlightening about peeing in someone’s lunch that escapes my understanding.

I’ll watch, of course. It’s ultimate hypocrisy, and I’ll cop to it. If nothing else, the show -- which locks 16 men in a house with minimal distraction, not unlike some kind of sadistic ‘60s psychology experiment -- has proven itself to be a solid platform for discovering new talent. (Alums Rashad Evans, Michael Bisping and Forrest Griffin overcame early derision at being reality TV bums and went on to impressive UFC records.) And it’s only gotten tougher with age, making demands that fighters enter the house with pro records and/or win a bout before even stepping foot inside.

Unfortunately, that substance is frequently lost in the lurid conventions of reality exploitation, a genre of entertainment that has solidified my pessimism in humanity -- a leaning first explored by the incredible success of Adam Sandler movies. With little to do between fights and training (no books or television allowed), cast mates usually turn to alcohol poisoning and throwing lawn furniture into the pool as a means of unwinding. Vomiting seems to be a bonding experience.

I haven’t seen the newest crop of episodes, but I’m fairly confident we can look forward to the following:

Fighters will need less than 90 seconds to locate the stash of alcohol in the house.

Subsequently, fighters will need less than one hour to recreate key scenes from “Caligula.”

Eighteen seasons of “The Real World” will convince one or more athletes that the most expedient way to stardom in the sport is to create an irrational, functionally psychotic persona that antagonizes both housemates and viewers. (See: Browning, Junie.)

Someone will urinate on someone else.

Someone will figure what the living room really needs is a hole in the drywall the size of a head.

Dana White will enter any room he’s in with the understanding he’s to audition for a Quentin Tarantino film.

I’m not sure what’s more troubling: that the juvenile hall antics sell the show, or that the show has yet to evolve beyond them. With several more seasons contracted, “TUF” risks a greater sin by simply becoming repetitive and stilted. Even the primal humor in “Jackass” grows stale after a few seasons. (You’ve seen one staple gun to the testicles, you’ve seen them all.)

Even more unsettling: to think that the real paradigm shift in this sport’s young history was the conceit of showing fighters one step from hurling feces at each other like monkeys -- that this perversion of sportsmanship is what it took for a mass audience to take notice of an otherwise complex and beautiful thing. MMA was apparently beyond anyone’s interest until its participants began peeing on pillows for basic cable.

Was this really the secret saving grace of combat sports? Does our culture really need actual, literal poo to fertilize a sprouting athletic event? Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t recall any footage of Muhammad Ali taking a dump in an opponent’s toilet tank.

There was a time when I was puffed with pride at being a spectator of this sport. Watching “The Ultimate Fighter” is something I prefer to keep to myself.

Nice find Des and i don't disagree with most of that. I like TUF, i watch every season but the show doesn't do much to sway the haters of MMA over, when they see how some of these guys act in that house. Obviously the UFC knows full well what they are doing. Put these guys together, lock them up for 6 weeks, no TV, no Cell phone, no contact with anyone allowed. All they really have to get bye in that house is a pool table, a swimming pool and lots and lots of liquor.. Give them contact with the outside world and moree forms of entertainment you'll likely have a show, with little to no drama. Guys just getting their rest and going to train and fight everyday.. TUF has done a lot for the sport, in terms of growing it and big names have come off the show but it certainly has some bad that goes along with all the good it has done..

Probably one of the best i have seen on TUF. Really back and forth and entertaining. He did tap to that Choke, Herb Dean was in a bad spot and didn't see it.

I don't see it, at least here in the US. Bisping is doing what he is supposed to be doing, winning fights and helping the UFC promote MMA in the UK. He is their poster boy. But the TUF job is again all about the UK. From what i have seen most US MMA fans don't care for the guy.. IMO he doesn't have the personality or charisma to really cross over in popularity and he is not an overly exciting fight either. He doesn't have the massive power of a Rampage or well rounded dominance of a GSP. Bisping i see never being much more than what he is. A good fighter and a poster boy for the UK.. But that will be about it..

He looked gassed for sure but his head wasnt in it after the teeth incident. The teeth thing was a mental meltdown for the guy. He even said he had a hard time with his head. Sorry man but some guys just arent at the level to where they should be in the house and thats why they have these fights to get into the house. I just happen to think had that other guy not knocked himself out, this guy wouldnt have made the house.

And Bisping came out like a total ass in that episode. Since when is 9am early?

Bisping is an A-Hole. Watching him this whole time, has proven to me how right i am about the guy.

And he was bitching and moaning about how the "American guys are talking shit and i had to leave the room after his guy quit", he has been shit-talking everyone the whole show.. He is such a tool.. He is where he is, mainly because the UFC needs someone to represent the UK for the UFC.. I hope Hendo rips him a new one at UFC 100..

Yeah man I agree he is the biggest shit talker ever and the only coach to talk shit to the fighters of the opposing team. Thats pretty shitty on his part. I hope Hendo beats the shit out of him.

I didnt. I think Demarques clearly got the W. It was a great fight no doubt, but I had him winning every round. I think he will win the season as well.

I don't remember an announcement for sudden victory round, but it was late and I was FF'ing a lot...I think those fights are automatically 3 rds...

I thought Demarques took all 3 but it was close on the round where he ended up staggered for the last 20 seconds or so...

yeah and I think that cost him round 1. They only do 2 rounds and do a 3rd for sudden victory.

The existing deal, announced in October 2007, called for 12 seasons of the show.

"We actually just did an extension with [Spike TV]," White said. "We're going to be doing through (season) 14, two seasons a year.

"They're good partners. We work really well together, and they let me do what I do."

I think the 2 rounds are only for the fights that lead up to the semi's. Once they get to the semi's they do 3 rounds.

http://www.answers.com/topic/ultimate-fighting-championship#The_Ultimate_Fighter

These exhibition matches variably have two or three rounds, depending on the rules used for each season. In most seasons, preliminary matches (before the semi-final bouts) were two rounds; in season two, all matches had three rounds. For two-round matches, if there is a draw after two rounds, an extra five-minute round ("sudden victory") is contested. If the extra round concludes without a stoppage, the judges' decision will be based on that final round. All matches past the first round use three rounds as per standard UFC bouts. During the finales for each series, the division finals have the standard three rounds, plus a fourth round if the judges score a tie.
