After TUF: Brazil achieved an unforeseeable level of success, the UFC has decided to go absolutely nuts on international editions of the iconic reality show. The second edition in this new wave is The Ultimate Fighter: The Smashes.
The Smashes will pit a team of British fighters, coached by Ross Pearson, against a team of Australians, coached by George Sotiropolous. The season will feature welterweights and lightweights, and will naturally end with a bout between the two coaches.
I could spoil the episode here, but suffice it to say it follows the usual TUF formula, and lets you get introduced to the fighters, hear an inspirational speech from Dana White and watch an elimination fight where some poor sucker’s hopes and dreams are ended before they begin. Watch it above, and make sure to check back here for more updates as the season progresses.
