So far, here’s what we have confirmed for season 6 of the UFC’s hit reality show The Ultimate Fghter:
- The coaches will be UFC Welterweight Champion Matt Serra and former WW champ Matt Hughes. These two have genuine beef with each other stemming mainly from the fourth season of TUF where Serra was a contestant and Hughes was brought in to assist with training. Serra has been publicly referring to Hughes as a “Jock Dickhead” ever since.
- Hughes will face Serra for the Welterweight strap at the conclusion of the season. Whether we will be treated to this fight as part of the finale or it will be the main event of a PPV is thus far unknown.
- The show will now air on Spike TV on Wednesday nights as opposed to the usual Thursday time slot.
- The show will consist only of welterweights this season. Rumored fighters include:
- Matt Arroyo (2-1 MMA)
- Blake Bowman (0-0 MMA)
- Mac Danzig (16-4-1 MMA)
- Paul Georgieff (7-1 MMA)
- Richie Hightower (7-1 MMA)
- John Koloski (8-4 MMA)
- Jon Koppenhaver (4-1 MMA)
- Troy Mandaloniz (2-1 MMA)
- Billy Miles (2-1 MMA)
- Roman Mitichyan (3-1 MMA)
- Dorian Price (6-2 MMA)
- Jared Rollins (4-3 MMA)
- Ben Saunders (4-0-2 MMA)
- Joe Scarola (3-0 MMA)
- Tommy Speer (7-1 MMA)
Not exactly a who’s-who of MMA. In fact I’ve only heard of 4 of those guys, and I’ve only ever seen Danzig fight. Not exactly thrilling at this point but it will be interesting to see Hughes and Serra finally lock up after all these years.
