Arthur Santos sent in the following... Hi guys - On a very interesting newsletter that I received from UFC, they have started their own "Tough Enough" like reality series called "The Ultimate Fighter" that will be shown on Spike TV. The Newsletter reads as follows:

"The Ultimate Fighting Championship® and Spike TV® have assembled 16 athletes from across North America to determine who has what it takes to earn a UFC contract in The Ultimate Fighter™ , a new and exciting reality-based television series. The original series, hosted by top recording artist and model Willa Ford, premieres on
Monday, Jan. 17 at 11 p.m. (check local listings) following WWE Monday Night Raw and runs for 15 exciting episodes, including a LIVE event. Craig Piligian (co-executive producer of Survivor I, II and III) serves as co-executive producer. [http://www.theultimatefighter.tv]" Source: UFC Newsletter. I just thought I shared that with ya'll. Keep the good work.

They also added new screenshots and, get this, 2 video clips showing game footage where Orton and Christian square off with Christian getting the upperhand. (God, I hope it happens) For more, click here.
