The Ultimate fighter is a television show on Spike network. It is a MMA competition to see who will become the nextUFC fighter. On the show, professional MMA fighters coach no-name fighters, and have head to head competitions. Whoever wins the challenge, will recieve a contract with the UFC.

In the first four seasons of The Ultimate Fighter, chosen UFC fighters were divided into two weight classes. The fighters were also divided into two teams. Each team was coached by a current UFC headliner. The matches would be based on who each coach thought was a fair fight. The loser then got eliminated from the show.

At the end of a season, the two remaining fighters of each weight class are placed in a single-elimination tournament, where the title of Ultimate Fighter is awarded to the winner. From season five to season seven, all fighters competed in the same weight class.

Norwood's Opening Home Game

Norwood plays Wyoming Friday, September 11. It is Norwood's first home game. Norwood is 1-1 after a tough loss over Purcell. Wyoming is 2-0, after defeating CHCA and Oakwoods.
