The Ultimate Fighter
My favorite show, by far, is back on the air again; season 4 of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) premiered last night after a two-hour warm-up in the form of Ultimate Fight Night VI.
The Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) athletes are, without a doubt, the most well-trained and fit athletes in the world of sports today. As a MMA fighter you must possess high levels of strength, endurance, and flexibility. It’s always a joy to see them in action.
While shows like The Contender (boxing) leans more towards the usual drama of reality shows and has edited fights, The Ultimate Fighter let you see more of the training and, best of all, the fights in full. I only wish the episodes where even longer; showing more of the training and pre-fight preparations.

Dandy, thanks for your comment! Yes, I’ve seen the second episode. It was a real bloody battle. Great fight! Anyway, this season is very promising. I really like the concept of letting the teams do their own thing.
Well, now it’s only 6 hours until UFC 62! I’m really looking forward to Liddell vs. Sobral and Griffin vs. Bonnar. Great fight cards!
