For me, The Ultimate Fighter season five was the best season the show ever put out.
It was stacked with legitimate prospects, entertaining personalities, two very entertaining coaches—Jens Pulver and B.J. Penn, who actually fought at the season finale—and it took place right after the UFC brought back the 155-pound division.
Penn would go on to become the division’s champion after besting Pulver.
A testament to how good the season was is the contestants’ success after the show. And with two of them fighting this Saturday at UFC 136, it seems like a good time to take a look at the best of the bunch from season five.
