A coin was flipped and Chael Sonnen won the toss, he chose to pick the first fighter, which was Luke Barnatt. This meant that Jon Jones (Little JJ as Chael calls him) got to pick the first fight match up. Jon decided to go right after our number one pick and matched up the shortest guy in the house, Gilbert “Jamal” “Gigantoooooor” Smith against the tallest man in the house, Luke “The European Gangster” Barnatt. Obviously after watching the episode the rest of Team Jones was not on board with this pick.

Currently in their 18th season overall, The Ultimate Fighter has produced multiple stars and a handful of champions. Along with all that though the series has also developed a lot of annoying habits over the years.

While the MMA world has moved on and the UFC has moved its attention to the new season of The Ultimate Fighter and UFC 152 they cannot hide from the fact something was missing this weekend.

After 14 tape delayed seasons the reality series moved to FX, changed days and went Live. The new format brought Live elimination bouts each week and was supposed to rejuvenate the series, but that didn’t happen and the second season on FX will be going back to the tape delayed format.
