Nearly 10 years after getting into the combat sports reality show business, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is back with yet another addition of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF), which premieres tonight (Weds., April 22, 2015) at 10 p.m. ET on FOX Sports 1.
This latest reboot features rival mixed martial arts (MMA) gyms -- American Top Team (ATT) and Blackzilians -- in a battle for South Florida bragging rights. The welterweight contestants will live inside a giant mansion (see it) and compete for a boatload of cash.
It all stems from a split that happened at American Top Team back in 2011, when four veteran fighters - Jorge Santiago, Danillo Villefort, Yuri Villefort and Gesias "JZ" Cavalcante - all decided to leave ATT's Coconut Creek gym and start their own team.
