TUF Live has entered the quarterfinals and if the eight remaining fighters thought things were tough before, they haven’t seen anything yet. With just three episodes left before the TUF Live finale on June 1st, the lightweight that can win three fights over four consecutive weeks will become the next Ultimate Fighter.

Heading into tonight’s TUF Live fight, Team Faber was up 3-2 with three more opening round fights to go. After losing the first two bouts, Team Faber has won the last three and will look to retain control.

Who gets hammered before coming to the UFC training center to watch two fighters try to fulfill their dreams of becoming a UFC fighter? Apparently TUF Live Chris Tickle does. After the Michael Chiesa vs. Jeremy Larson bout it was revealed by members of team Faber that Mr. Tickle got hammered prior to the fights and was still feeling it when team Cruz headed back to their dressing after the fight. Tickle began talking trash at his opponent disrupting the room which was trying to coup with the defeat.

Tonight’s first “real” episode of The Ultimate Fighter: Live and the first look of the shows new “live” structure. The first week of the show saw the fighters split into teams, a fighter get some bad news and the first fighter earns a spot in the quarterfinal round.

The 32 lightweights learned just two days ago who they would be fighting tonight when The Ultimate Fighter’s 15th season kicks-off LIVE on FX. The latest season will open with a two and a half hour special where all 32 fighters will step into the Octagon and the victorious ones will make it into the TUF house.

The countdown has begun; the newest season on “The Ultimate Fighter” is less than two weeks away. We know that the 15th season will be like no other season, happening in real-time with the weekly elimination bouts airing LIVE on FX every Friday during the season. UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz and top contender Urijah Faber will serve as coaches this season, which will feature fighters from the lightweights division.
