THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER® FRIDAYS FLASH QUOTES
THOUGHTS ON LIFE IN THE TUF™ HOUSE
Las Vegas, Nevada (Sept. 20, 2012) – Have you ever wondered what life was like in The Ultimate Fighter® house? Wondered what it’s like to be one of 16 guys, with no contact with the outside world, sleeping in twin beds, training twice daily and competing with your housemates to reach the same dream? Well, we followed up with the cast of The Ultimate Fighter® Fridays, which airs Friday nights at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FX, to get their thoughts on life in the TUF™ house after week one. Here’s what they had to say:
TEAM CARWIN
Sam Alvey (@Smilensam)
“Week one of the TUF house was a lot like when Luke first met Yoda; excited to learn but really looking past that to becoming the TUF Fridays champ.”
Bristol Marunde (@bristolmarunde)
“I went from owning my own business, a big house, a king size bed to a bunk-bed and a house full of crazy fighters. I'm back in college!!!!"
Mike Ricci (@MikeyRicci)
“The first week was ‘tuf’ adjusting to the new location and schedule but things got easier from then on.”
Neil Magny (@neilmagny)
“The first week living in the TUF house was great. I was so happy that I was able to make it this far, after being turned away so many times before. Making it into the house was the biggest accomplishment I had in my MMA career yet. I also thought the house was amazing. For the first time in my life I had a hot tub/pool in my backyard and everything I could possibly want in the kitchen.”
James Chaney (@jameschaneymma)
“When initially going into the TUF house everybody was overjoyed. Flying high on our fresh victories, it was a rush picking the beds and raiding the massive fridge and pantry, the reality setting in that we had really made it, we were really there! The house itself was so massive! I constantly found myself discovering bizarre new things: Greek statues, koi ponds, samurai statues, and all sorts of bizarre locked rooms. I'm reasonably sure somewhere within that property is a path to Narnia or Hogwarts or something. For most, the joy of victory and the luster of the house was dulled within the week as fight picks loomed and the seriousness of our circumstances was realized.”
Eddy Ellis (@fasteddyellis)
“My feelings about the first week of The Ultimate Fighter house were mixed, the first part of the week I was just excited to be there. By the end of the first week I thought WHAT DID I GET MYSELF IN TO? Five and half more weeks in that place was a LONG-time away!”
Igor Araujo (@igoraraujojj)
“The war has started, amazing room, amazing house, 15 more crazy guys who want to see my head on the ground. I am sleeping in the same room as James Chaney and Julian Lane, will I survive in this adventure?”
Matt Secor (@secormatthew)
“I figured I wasn't going to make any friends in the house and stay to myself, until our first Team Carwin practice. Then I knew I was going to be on a team that would stick together throughout the whole season.”
TEAM NELSON
Dom Waters (@shonuff89)
“My first week in the TUF house I felt like I was on cloud nine it was just the highest of highs to be walking around that house, just wow.”
Michael Hill (@mmamike)
“I made it, I'm finally here, and now it's time to get to work. Mooooortal Kooooombat!!! This house is huge, bed's are very unpleasant, is this jail? I could get used to this grocery list thing, might start using this back home. Cameras are even in the washroom??? Holy shit this is going to be serious."
Cameron Diffley (@camerondiffley)
“The first week was pretty tame in the house compared to the rest of the season. Everyone was getting to know each other, getting used to their teams training schedule and getting used to living in the TUF house.”
Colton Smith (@coltonsmithmma)
“Being Active Duty Army for the past seven years has ingrained my mind into a certain schedule and habit. That was all shook up when I was put in the TUF house and that was the first of many obstacles I had to overcome being in the house with 15 other warriors.”
Jon Manley (@jonmanleymma)
“The first week in the house seemed crazy. We had to win a fight to get in the house. Pick teams, train and then we were right back into fighting. It was a high stress situation, not knowing who or when you are going to fight. The house was sick and plenty of free food.”
Nic Herron-Webb (@NaptimeNic)
“It was such a crazy experience. I'm stuck in a house with 15 other guys that I don't know, and we are all out for the same thing. There is bound to be heartbreak, and lots of trouble. Bring it on!!"
Joey Rivera (@joeyboomboom)
“The first week at the house was tough being away from my friends and family, but I had fun meeting the guys and ‘experiencing’ all the different personalities. I knew then it was going to be a wild six weeks.”
Julian Lane (@julianlanemma)
“I really didn't know what to think, but just go with it. I was ecstatic by the mansion, and knowing I had to live there for six weeks with 15 other fighters made my adrenaline pumped. All I could think about was how crazy everyone will be after the first week when we all get comfortable.”
The series resumes Friday, September 21, on FX at 10 p.m. ET/PT (check local listings for Central and Mountain Time) with the second episode of its 12-week run.

SEASON TEASER AVAILABLE AHEAD OF TWO-HOUR PREMIERE FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 9 PM ET/PT ON FX
Las Vegas, Nevada – As the Ultimate Fighting Championship® organization prepares to launch the 16th season of its famed reality television show – The Ultimate Fighter®, set to premiere with a two-hour special, Friday, September 14 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on FX – it is releasing the action-packed preview video recently tweeted by UFC President Dana White.
Click here to view the video:
“The one thing I love about The Ultimate Fighter is, every season is different,” said UFC President Dana White. “Same scenario, same goal – everyone wants to win the contract, but every season has its own things happen to make it exciting and this one is no exception.”
“It’s no secret that Roy and I hate each other,” said Shane Carwin, former UFC interim heavyweight champion and coach of Team Carwin. “This is all the more reason why I want to destroy him and his team in this season of The Ultimate Fighter. There are a lot of twists and turns and things happen that I would have never assumed.”
"On this season of The Ultimate Fighter, plan to see TV magic at its best,” said Roy Nelson, previous TUF™ winner and coach of Team Nelson. “You have to watch because we have Santa, The Big Boss and his Henchman. Christmas, with Scrooge and a hired goon to make what is expected to be the best TUF season in FX history."

FIELD FINALIZED FOR THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER® FRIDAYS
SEASON BEGINS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14 at 9PM ET/PT ON FX
Two-Hour Special Premiere Event to Showcase 16 Elimination Fights
Finale Will Feature Fight Between the Coaches
LOS ANGELES (Aug. 30, 2012) – The field of 32 of the most talented unsigned mixed martial artists in the world has been finalized for THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER® FRIDAYS which begins Friday, September 14, on FX with a special two-hour premiere airing at 9 PM ET/PT.
Similar to the inaugural season of The Ultimate Fighter® on FX, this upcoming season will run for 13 consecutive weeks, airing Friday nights at 10 PM ET/PT. The eventual season winner – who will be crowned at the live finale on Saturday, Dec. 15 on FX, will receive a six-figure contract with theUltimate Fighting Championship® organization.
As previously announced, former interim UFC heavyweight champion Shane Carwin and top contender and previous TUF™ winner Roy Nelson serve as coaches this season. The bitter rivals – who have already taken their feud public - will also collide in the eagerly awaited main event of the Las Vegas finale.
“Carwin and Nelson are two guys who just can’t stand each other and Roy and I haven’t exactly seen eye to eye either - he’s been a nightmare for me to work with on this show with all his stupid BS,” said UFC president Dana White.
Chuck Saftler, Executive Vice President, FX Networks said, “We feel that the rivalry between these two guys is going to create a season filled with fireworks and high drama, and we already know we can count on Dana White, Lorenzo Fertitta, Craig Borsari and Craig Piligian to bring the highest quality product to UFC fans, so we couldn’t be more pumped about the upcoming season.”
The list of finalists who will now attempt to fight their way on the show was trimmed from more than 60 invited fighters; 29 of the 170 lbs welterweight fighters seeking to cash in on the opportunity of a lifetime are from the United States, two are from Canada while one is Brazilian.
On Sept. 14, the season will kick-off with 16 gripping elimination fights. The winners in the elimination round, or “Fight In,” will become official cast members and earn their way into The Ultimate Fighterhouse in Las Vegas where cameras will document their activity before and after their training and fights. The 16 winners will be drafted into opposing teams of eight by Carwin and eight by Nelson.
Each team will train at the TUF gym and reside in the TUF house together for the duration of the season. Winners will advance in the tournament until ultimately, one man is crowned THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER.
