The Ultimate Fighter Season 14 Video Trailer

PrintUFC middleweights Michael Bisping and Jason "Mayhem" Miller are coaching the next season of The Ultimate Fighter. They're currently in Las Vegas shooting the season. Here's a new promo video for the series which debuts on Spike TV in September.
The series, which broke the UFC and Mixed Martial Arts in the U.S. in 2005, has been up and down over the past few seasons. After a long slow ratings decline from the early peak in season 3 featuring Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock, the show broke ratings records in its tenth season which featured YouTube backyard brawler Kimbo Slice. That season featured Rashad Evans and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson as coaches and set up their million selling UFC 114 pay-per-view.
Former heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar coached on the 13th season of TUF which was an unexpected flop in the ratings, despite Lesnar's presence. Injury was added to insult when Lesnar's illness precluded him facing his fellow coach Junior dos Santos at UFC 131.
The UFC had originally hoped to place mega-heel Chael Sonnen opposite Bisping, but Sonnen's difficulties with the California (and Nevada) State Athletic Commission prevented that. We'll find out soon if Mayhem Miller's MTV success will deliver ratings to Spike TV.

Awesome trailer, dude!
Spike, that trailer got me totally pumped for the next season! It made me totally forget about the snoozefest last season was! Yeah, woo hoo! STANDANDBANG!
Bad blood!
THIS IS COMPLETELY REVOLUTIONARY TO THE SHITTY TUF FORMAT!!!!
Let the fighters fight, let the referees ref, but dear God, don't let the judges judge.
If UFC doesn't re-sign with Spike
Expect this show to get buried. Unless Spike put money into it and want to see a return. In which case they’ll pimp the hell out of it.
Funny how that works.
THIS IS THE ULTIMATE!!!!!

speaking of the ultimate
I was curious as the why the UFC didnt continue from The Ultimate 2008 to make the Ultimate 2009 and 10.
I thought it was a good idea in a sense that it makes it the UFC’s trademark year end show.

I wondered the same thing
On another note, I kinda miss the cute nicknames with events. Seek and Destory, Redemption, Knockout (lol)

Now they say stuff like UFC 132: Faber Cruz II
It’s always the headliners names.
Learn JiuJitsu.
Always looking for that new danger.
UFC 125: Resoulution
ended in a draw
I think they got the memo after that one.
there is no substitute for the ultimate it’s what’s in store bear witness to the fitness of the modern warrior and it goes BOOM another hit gets landed BOOM another hit gets landed the stealth of a sniper the strength of a viper the training the challenge the ultimate fighter
you’re gonna get hit
you’re gonna get knocked out
you’re gonna feel it
this is the ultimate
you’re gonna get hit
you’re gonna get knocked out
you’re gonna feel it
this is the ultimate
oh my
“the stealth of a sniper the strength of a viper the training the challenge the ultimate fighter”
I’ve never seen the lyrics before. That’s some deep shit. Is it a Dylan cover?

who owns the rights to the show?
If the UFC left Spike, would they be allowed to keep filming the show? I’d imagine that they’d have to change the name, as UFC has “Ultimate” anything trademarked.

Not sure if I will even watch it, coach’s will definitely be better, but the talent just isn’t there anymore, not interested in seeing what are essentially amateur fights that get put on all over here in canada.
I think the talent will be better
First time ever doing FWs and BWs. I think the fights will be awesome. And god damn do I hate both but that blonde hair on Mayhem just made me pull for Bisping.
The key is to hit the guy in the jaw really hard before the other guy does it to you.

TUF 5 was excellent
And it was much the same as this season, the first generation of FW/BW TUFers. Two title contenders isn’t bad for a season, one being a near champion

I'm super psyched...
to see him fight UFC guys. He won’t hold a belt, but there’s no reason why he can’t be a top 7-ish gatekeeper. Him and Bisping are so evenly matched- it should be a cool fight, if not gangbusters.

it should have...
the highest level talent we’ve seen in a loooong time.

And even if the show ends up with Ksos fighters rather than Baders
FW and BW usually means excitement in contrast to the horrible fights from TUF 10
screw the coaches tell me the cast its pretty much known John Dodson is in there but who else

They need to let this show BREATHE
Feels like there was 6 seasons in the last calendar year.
so Bisping calls Miller infantile and then Miller proves him right with weak insults?
meh.
i have to give it a shot though. hope it delivers better than this promo.

Just seemed really forced
I dont believe there is bad blood between the coaches at all..
I’ll keep calling for it…
Need to re-vamp similar to Series 4.
With the current roster of fighters, even featuring the featherweights or bantamweights who fans know little about.
I feel like this is going to be a great season
Between the trash talking done between the two coaches, Bisping being an annoying douche, Miller being crazy, and the fact that early word is that some of the fights are sick…I’m very excited.
Georges St-Pierre vs. Anderson Silva
