One of the top prospects of the welterweight field, Myles Jury, is now out of the competition. Tonight, the first episode of the thirteenth season of "The Ultimate Fighter" has wrapped up. Former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar coaches opposite of Junior dos Santos a field of 14 welterweight hopefuls who will work there way through the competition to meet in the finals this June in Las Vegas to determine the next winner of the TUF series, who will battle for the six-figure UFC contract. An early favorite for the show in Jury, is now sidelined from the show during a freak injury and he has since been replaced. ...

Hello once more fans and friends and welcome to a special preview edition of “TUF Talks”. For those of you who may not remember, “TUF Talks” was the weekly rundown I gave on the then-current twelfth season of the popular UFC reality TV show “The Ultimate Fighter”. I detailed all the important events of the show and even threw some commentary in. I’m happy to announce that “TUF Talks” will be returning soon, as “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 13 is about to get underway. For now, here’s a preview of what I’m looking forward to for TUF 13. ...

A previously announced bout featuring heavyweight stars Brock Lesnar and Junior dos Santos has since been officially announced by the UFC. Former heavyweight champion Lesnar will be taking on contender in dos Santos for the number one contender spot for the heavyweight crown. The two men are currently filming the thirteenth season of "The Ultimate Fighter" which features a full cast of welterweight hopefuls. The season premier's on March 30 and the series will conclude on June 4 where the finals will take place at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. ...

It’s been a long time coming, fans and friends, but we’re now closer than ever to a Bantamweight and Featherweight season of the popular UFC reality TV show “The Ultimate Fighter”. Season 13 of the show, featuring coaches Brock Lesnar and Junior dos Santos, will soon be upon us. But for season fourteen, we may finally be getting a season devoted to the guys at 145 and 135. At least, that’s what UFC matchmaker Sean Shelby recently tweeted. Here are all the details. ...

As the new season of "The Ultimate Fighter" approaches, a lot of people have heard different things. First, the upcoming Thirteenth season was to feature both a middleweight and welterweight field, however UFC officials have made this particular season an all welterweight cast, expelling some top level competitors who tried out in the higher weight-class, including DREAM and Strikeforce veteran Karlo Amousou and now soon-to-be UFC fighter Chris Weidman, to name a few. Now, the head honcho's of the largest mixed martial arts organization have revealed the full cast of welterweight's who will be featured on the upcoming season, which will be coached by heavyweight studs Junior dos Santos and former champion Brock Lesnar. ...

"The Ultimate Fighter" season three finalist and fan-favorite Ed Herman will soon be making his return to the octagon. "Short fuse" has been out of action since August of 2009 when he suffered a devestating knee injury in a bout with former middleweight contender Aaron Simpson at UFC 102 in his old stomping grounds of Portland, Oregon. Now fully rehabilitated, Herman will be making his return to the cage this June as he takes on fellow TUF veteran Tim Credeur. ...

One of the best fighters to come out of the World Extreme Cagefighting promotion, Scott Jorgensen is UFC bound, and will be making his promotional debut this June. The former title challenger was last seen in action on the losing side of an uninspired unanimous decision against current bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz this past December for WEC 53 in Glendale, Arizona. The show marked the promotion's last event before becoming assimilated with it's sister promotion in the UFC, which has since adopted both the bantamweight and featherweight classes. ...

An anticipated featherweight showdown is beginning to take shape. Josh Grispi will hope to make an impressive showing in his second outing with the UFC as he takes on "The Ultimate Fighter" veteran in George Roop, come this June. Grispi was touted as a huge factor in the featherweight division following his assimilation into the organization after the World Extreme Cagefighting promotion was merged with the UFC. However, he showed little of the talent he displayed in the defunct organization when he was deftly defeated by the unheralded Dustin Poirier upon his octagon debut this past January. He will now have a second-chance to impress. ...

Tim Sylvia was one his way back to the big show. Following a four-fight win streak with a notable win over former title challenger Paul Buentello during this stretch, "The Maine-iac" was poised to make a big return to the big show in the immediate future. I guess Abe Wagner didn't get the memo, as he took the opportunity last night to pull off the biggest win of his career and instantly put his name on the map amongst the heavyweight field. ...

When Junior dos Santos first heard that current titleholder Cain Velasquez was injured from his bout with Brock Lesnar in October of last year, he was a little peeved, to say the least. He lashed out very publicly in the media, claiming that the new champion sustained no damage in his fight with Lesnar and is stalling--which was later disproved with the torn rotator cuff that Velasquez later had subsequent surgery on that would sideline the American Kickboxing Academy product for approximately 6-8 months. However now, cooler heads have prevailed. He may not exactly have his number contenders spot secured at the moment, however he does have two very interesting opportunities ahead of him. Junior will have the chance to coach the ultra-popular reality series "The Ultimate Fighter", and will be facing the largest pay-per-view draw in former champ Brock Lesnar later this Summer, both of which have helped satisfy the fan-favorite dos Santos. ...

A previously announced lightweight fight will now have a home as WEC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis will meet with surging contender Clay Guida in June. The two men are tentatively rumored to be headlining "The Ultimate Fighter" season 14 finale, which is scheduled for the The Pearl at the Palms Resort and Casino in Las Vegas on June 4. Pettis was promised his shot at the UFC lightweight title upon his arrival from the organization's sister promotion, World Extreme Cagefighting--which has since been merged with the UFC in order to incorporate the lighter weight classes into the juggernaut organization. ...

After reportedly being a lock for the upcoming season of "The Ultimate Fighter", it looks like Andre Galvao will not be joining the cast after all. The budding welterweight prospect had long been rumored to appear on the show, with TATAME.com reportedly citing both Galvao and middleweight fighter Vitor Vianna as "locks" for the upcoming thirteenth season of the reality show. However, after both Brock Lesnar and Junior dos Santos were reported as the coaches for the upcoming season, it was also revealed that the cast will solely consist of a welterweight field, and Galvao independently confirmed later that he got neither a call nor an email about a possible run for the TUF series. ...

The story is only a few hours old and already it’s swept the internet: Junior dos Santos and Brock Lesnar will coach opposite one another on the thirteenth season of “The Ultimate Fighter”. Many fans are looking past the season entirely and focusing on the inevitable clash of the two coaches. But me? While I definitely have a lot to say regarding Lesnar/JDS (read all about it here), I’m also really looking forward to the next season of TUF. And why is that, exactly? Here are five reasons why I’m already looking forward to “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 13. ...

Brock Lesnar is a man of few words. He doesn't like cameras, he doesn't like attention, so a coaching stint on the next season of "The Ultimate Fighter" would seem like the furthest thing from reality...but it could very well be happening soon. Recently rumors have circulated concerning the next season of TUF, as far as who will take up the coaching slots. Fighters ranging from Wanderlei Silva, Chael Sonnen, Urijah Faber, and Dominick Cruz have all been discussed as possible candidates to coach the upcoming field of welterweight/middleweight fighters, however all signs point to former champions Lesnar and arch rival Frank Mir. ...

Despite the fact that an official announcement was supposed to be made sometime last week, the thirteenth season of the popular UFC reality TV show “The Ultimate Fighter” remains without coaches at the time of this article's release. For quite some time it was rumored that Wanderlei Silva would coach opposite Chael Sonnen, building on the fireworks seen in a classic encounter between the two. It’s now been confirmed that neither Silva nor Sonnen will be a coach for TUF Season 13, but if “The Axe Murderer” had his way, he’d meet Chael Sonnen anyway. In fact, Silva recently threw down the gauntlet in a new interview. Here are all the details. ...

As the ufc continues its rapid international expansion, more and more countries seem to be putting in their bids for an exclusive version of the UFC’s popular reality TV show “The Ultimate Fighter”. The reasoning behind this country vs. country “TU(r)F War” is very sound and very simple: TUF is widely regarded as one of the major events that brought the UFC into the mainstream in the United States, and it’s remained on television with consistently-good ratings for a ridiculous amount of time. And the latest rumor surrounding TUF’s international expansion focuses on the possibility of a “Team UK vs. Team Australia” season. Here are all the details. ...

Many are still left wondering what the future holds for the popular long-running UFC reality TV show “The Ultimate Fighter”. The coaches for the landmark thirteenth season of TUF have yet to be announced, although a new report indicates that Dana White will announce the coaches either today (December 16) or tomorrow (December 17). Another report indicates that Brazil is one of the major competitors in the hunt to see which country gets an international version of TUF first. And one of MMA’s premiere journalists recently confirmed that neither Wanderlei Silva nor Chael Sonnen will coach TUF Season 13. Here are all the details. ...

With its twelfth season now officially over and done with, many are once again wondering what the future holds for the popular and long-running ufc reality TV show “The Ultimate Fighter”. With the planned WEC/UFC merger looming on the horizon, many fight fans are calling for Bantamweight and Featherweight editions of TUF. As the UFC continues its rapid expansion, fans have also been calling for international editions of TUF. Recently several reports surfaced that shed new light on the future of the show, including when the thirteenth season is scheduled to air as well as new developments on international versions of the show. ...

Following an exciting night of fights this past Saturday, the full figures for the payouts following "The Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale" have been released, as per the Nevada State Athletic Commission. The finale took place at the Palms Resort in Las Vegas, Nev this past Saturday, live in Spike TV. The night witnessed some exciting fights, which concluded with a new "Ultimate Fighter" crowned after an exciting twelfth season concluded earlier this week. Jonathon Brookins was crowned as the seasons' new champion after surviving a scary first-round opposite of fellow finalist Michael Johnson. Georges St. Pierre's number one pick was able to knockdown Brookins early in the first-round, and dominated every exchange with his speed and accuracy. Brookins eventually turned the tides in the second and third rounds, controlling Johnson on the ground with effective takedowns which ultimately led to a unanimous decision victory in his favor. ...

Another season of the popular UFC reality TV show “The Ultimate Fighter” has come and gone, another live special that traditionally ends the competition is once more in the history books. The UFC recently held its “The Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale” event from the Pearl at the Palms in the UFC’s home base of Las Vegas, Nevada, and the traditional post-fight award bonuses as well as the attendance and live gate figures have been released. ...

Twelve seasons of the popular UFC reality TV show “The Ultimate Fighter” have now aired, twelve “Ultimate Finale” live events have come and gone. Last night was the latest “Ultimate Finale” event, and it certainly caused its fair share of controversy. In the main event, Jonathan Brookins defeated Michael Johnson to become the TUF 12 champion. But what does his future hold, and for that matter, the futures of all the men who competed at “The Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale”? Here are my thoughts. ...

The live finale event to the twelfth season of the popular UFC reality TV show “The Ultimate Fighter” is now a thing of the past. A new champion has been crowned, and several stars looked great in their main-card attractions. Stephan Bonner surprised most of the viewing public by using his grappling and wrestling to outmaneuver and ultimately outpoint Igor Pokrajac, while Jonathan Brookins survived some big punches courtesy of Michael Johnson throughout their three-round war of attrition to ultimately emerge as the TUF 12 champion. Here are the full results to “The Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale”. ...

I feel great. I hope I'm ready, because there's no more time (left). Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace Demian Maia looks for his third win in his last four fights when he takes on "The Ultimate Fighter" season three winner, Kendall Grove. Maia was last in action when he competed against the always tough Mario Miranda, who stands as only the second man to third man to go the distance with Demian inside the UFC. At the culmination of their August middleweight bout, Maia walked away with a clear-cut decision victory. Now, heading into his match up with the Hawaiian Grove, Demain switched things up a bit in the last week leading up to the fight in hopes to gain a competitive edge in this pivotal 185-pound fight. ...

Heading into tomorrow's night of fights, which will be challenged by Strikeforce who will hold a show in St. Louis simultaneously with the UFC, all fighters weighed in for "The Ultimate Fighter" season twelve finale show. All but one fighter, WEC veteran Nick Pace, were successful in making weight on their first attempts. Pace was eventually deducted twenty-percent of his purse when he was unable to lose the additional 3 pounds which was required to reach the 136-pound limit of the bantamweight division. ...

The twelfth season of the popular UFC reality TV show “The Ultimate Fighter” came to a close recently with a great two-hour special that gave fight fans both semi-final match-ups. In the end it will be Jonathan Brookins facing Michael Johnson at the upcoming “The Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale” live event to determine the definitive TUF 12 champion. But how did the special two-hour block do in the ratings? Did TUF 12 go out with a whimper or a roar? Here are all the details. ...

It’s become somewhat of a tradition to have a series of eleventh-hour fight announcements for an upcoming “Ultimate Finale” event that features some of the fighters from the latest season of the popular ufc reality TV show “The Ultimate Fighter”. In that vein, the UFC has recently announced a pair of fights for their upcoming “The Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale” event. According to one source, one of the bouts will even make the main card and feature a certain former WEC championship contender. Here are all the details. ...

It’s all lead up to this point, so let’s dive right in with the latest and last (for now) edition of “TUF Talks”. ...

Ready for a little sincere honesty, fans and friends? I know you are. So here it is: I’m a completely unabashed and unapologetic fanboy when it comes to Featherweight and Bantamweight fighters. I’ve vocally supported them in the past, I’ll continue to do so, and on more than one occasion I’ve pushed hard on the idea of a Bantamweight and Featherweight version of “The Ultimate Fighter”, even going as far as to say that a 145/135 version of TUF would likely have some of the best fights ever seen in the history of the program. So, as you could imagine, it would take a whole lot to convince me that a version of TUF featuring Bantamweight and Featherweight fighters should be postponed. But UFC President Dana White may have done just that in a recent interview. ...
