"The Ultimate Fighter 17" (TUF 17) on FX is a mixed martial arts competition series featuring 28 of the most talented unsigned middleweight mixed martial artists in the world.
While most of the cast is made up of American talent, the series will also showcase a handful of international fighters, with seven of the middleweights entering the competition sporting undefeated records. The season will star reigning light heavyweight king Jon Jones and former two-time middleweight title challenger Chael Sonnen as coaches. The premiere will feature 14 fights from the competition's elimination round, cutting the tournament field in half while deciding who gains access to the infamous "TUF" house.
The TUF 17 fighters include Adam Cella, Andy Enz, Chael Sonnen, Clint Hester, Collin Hart, Dylan Andrews, Eldon Sproat, Eric Wahlin, Fraser Opie, Fredrich Persons, Gilbert Smith, Jake Heun, Jimmy Quinlan, Jon Jones, Josh Samman, Kelvin Gastelum, Kevin Casey, Kito Andrews, Leo Bercier, Luke Barnatt, Mike Jasper, Nicholas Kohring, Nik Fekete, Robert "Bubba" McDaniel, Ryan Lee Q. Bigler, Scott Rosa, Timothy Williams, Tor Troeng, Uriah Hall and Zak Cummings.
Launched in 2005 on Spike TV, "TUF" has introduced some of the UFC's best-known talents, including Chris Leben, Josh Koscheck, Kenny Florian, Rashad Evans, Gray Maynard, Michael Bisping and Forrest Griffin. The show ran for 14 seasons on Spike until the UFC's broadcast agreement with the Viacom-owned network expired, prompting the organization to sign a seven-year deal with Fox and move the series to FX in 2012.
