It's that time again! You may have read that Season 14 will be the last season of TUF on Spike. That happens to be true, but that doesn't mean we're going to take our foot off the gas for a minute. With 32 hungry fighters walking in the door and the intensity of coaches Michael Bisping and Jason "Mayhem" Miller, you can bet that we're going to go out with a bang.
The fourteenth season of TUF kicks off with a two-hour premiere on September 21 at 9/8c, and it's going to blow the roof off the joint.

Having said that, it's time to meet the 32 men who will vie to become The Ultimate Fighter.

I'm excited to see what Mayhem has up his sleeve! And you know Bisping will have his share of shit talk! We are just a couple weeks away so lets get started! There are some experienced fighters coming in and some...not so much.

Man I thought Matsuda won that, or at least deserved a 3rd round.

Wailehua Hansen has the greatest ******* chin ever, holy SHIT. I remember going 'wtf was that knee legal?' but didn't rewatch it as the fight was so fast paced. I'll give it another soon but it was borderline at best on first look.

SUCH a good premier. Amazing fights, amazing fighters. The winners of this TUF will be making waves in their respective divisions. So much talent...on TUF??? Amazing...

Lol, for real. It looked like he was a zombie for half the round. I have no idea how he was still standing. You could see his eyes rolling around everytime he got rocked. It was insane.

He even looked dazed coming into the 2nd round. Dude had heart.

Great night of fights for sure....better than many PPV cards. It is going to be an exciting season for sure, and this time the winners may even come out as impressive fighters rather than just being the best out of 16 guys in a house. Micah Miller sure had to eat crow. I figured he'd do better actually. That KO bonus that Dana announced motivated these guys. Where else will you see 50% KO percentage in a night of fights? Especially with these little guys.

Are you ******* serious?

Jesus Christ that was good. I couldnt ******* believe how incredible those fights were. What like 2 or three that were middle road which still would have been good normal UFC card fights. Only one guy humped his way on. Name one UFC card that has ever been that good. Best season of TUF on the first episode. And it looks like its going to be getting better.

I was blown away by those fights...

I loved to watch WEC and was more than happy that FW and BW are on UFC roster. These little guys are beasts.

I love how Physics works for their favour :thumbsup: They are super fast,so good power even withou mass.They need less oxygen, so better gas tank. They are so light that they can perform great scrambles on the ground, its easy to push away that light weight. Just awesome.

The fighter that pulled off Hendo´s like punch has some killer hands. He hitted the other fighter like 4 times and made his face look like a mess.

BTW for anyone that is curious


Team Bisping
BW
Josh Ferguson
Louis Gaudinot
John Albert
TJ Dillashaw


FW

Diego Brandao
Marcus Brimage
Dennis Bermudez
Dustin Neece


Team Miller
BW

Jon Bedford
John Dodson
Roland Delorme
Dustin Pague


FW

Akira Corassani
Steve Siler
Bryan Caraway
Steven Bass


Ferguson and Gaudinot are clearly team Bisping, Albert looks like he's also on the team. The issue is Dodson, when we get the big wide shot of guys cheering Dodson is wearing grey, in the house he's wearing blue, and when Miller/Bisping fight he's wearing orange.

The fights we see from the previews
