Now that we are just a little bit into the taping of The Ultimate Fighter 14, it seems like a good time to write this.
The 14th season of the reality show features two fighters, Jason “Mayhem” Miller and Michael Bisping.
Bisping has already ticked off a lot of the MMA fanbase (again) and now will have to survive the hilarious verbal onslaught of the crazy Mayhem Miller.
This season will be the first season that showcases the newest additions to the UFC’s weight classes when the first bantamweight and featherweight fighters step foot into the UFC gym and house in Las Vegas and fight to become the first “Ultimate Fighter” in their respective weight class.
So here it is, five things for this season of The Ultimate Fighter.

Jason “Mayhem” Miller, one of MMA‘s most recognizable and polarizing stars, looks to bring his own brand of comedy and fighting experience to the Ultimate Fighter reality show.
Dropping his bout with Aaron Simpson to coach the show’s 14th season opposite Michael Bisbing, Miller tells UFC.com that “it’s about time” he was made a coach.
A veteran of reality television and the cage, Miller states in the video profile that, “If there are two things I’m good at, it’s beating up people and saying moderately funny things on cable television.”
The video showcases Miller’s coaching ability, with him instructing fellow UFC fighters Mark Muñoz and Krzysztof Sosynski as well as Olympic Judo gold medalist turned MMA fighter Satoshi Ishii.
Miller uncharacteristically gets a bit serious in the video saying people discount him due to his nonchalant attitude but that he’s dedicated his life to MMA and hopes “to help some artists improve their art” as coach on the show.
“Every practice is going to be focused on getting the guys better,” Miller states. “I really care, you know? I give a chicken salad about these guys I really do,” he goes on, recalling the “chicken s***” remarks made by Brock Lesnar during his stint as coach.
Miller ends the video by promising to turn the show “on its head.”
The 14th season will feature bantamweight and featherweight fighters with the finale, featuring the coaches bout between Miller and Bisbing, scheduled for December 3.

TUF 13 Finale: Clay Guida and Ed Herman Top Payroll List
Bleacher Report’s Mike Hodges:
After earning huge victories to their name, Clay Guida and Ed Herman were also the highest earners following The Ultimate Fighter 13 Finale.
Guida recieved $74,000 following his unanimous decision win over Anthony Pettis and Herman earned $48,000 after his knockout win over veteran Tim Credeur.
According to MMAJunkie.com, the website received the entire payroll for all fighters who competed at the event this past weekend. The event featured Guida and Pettis in the co-main event, while TUF contestants, Tony Ferguson and Ramsay Nijem, battled for a UFC contract in the main event. Ferguson came on top as the winner after dismantling Nijem in the first round via knockout.
