There is also a forum to discuss the TUF series and pretty much anything else under the sun. It is a forced 'friendly' site with active moderators so you can feel free to post anything you want without some jerk kid living in his mommy's basement, using mommy's computer and Internet access trying to make fun of you for kicks. Very cool!

PREMIERE EPISODE

Thursday, April 5 at 11PM ET/PT
Following UFC® FIGHT NIGHT™

Sixteen of the best up-and-coming mixed martial artists in the lightweight division (155lbs) from around the world will be featured in Season 5 of Spike TV’s hit original series, “The Ultimate Fighter,” premiering Thursday, April 5 at 10:00 PM, ET/PT. Former UFC Lightweight Champion Jens Pulver and former UFC Welterweight Champion B.J. Penn will serve as coaches.

In the Ultimate Fighter competition, sixteen men endure a grueling regimen of jiu-jitsu, judo, muy 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 together, knowing that any day they might be forced to fight each other in the famed UFC Octagon™.
