This season’s installment of The Ultimate Fighter on SpikeTV had its ups and downs. After touting Kimbo in seemingly every single commercial the show aired, the YouTube sensation was beaten in just the third episode of the show. A Kimbo comeback that never even happened was then dangled in front of our noses like a carrot stick for the remainder of the season. It also had a few other surprises. Here are the Top 5 Things We Learned From The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights.


5. Team Rampage was out coached.

It was billed as the biggest fight in TUF history.

Kimbo Slice—the brawling YouTube legend vs. Roy “Big Country Nelson—the flabby, Burger King eating, former IFL champ.

If the first episode is any indication, this season may turn out to be the most explosive yet.
