Early in July, ‘The Ultimate Figther’ house went on sale, and Dana White said that it might be the end for their long running reality show. Things seem to have changed since then, as White said this week that they’re bringing TUF over to ESPN, and will be hosting it on a new facility as well.

“The Ultimate Fighter will continue,” White said. “There’s still a huge market for The Ultimate Fighter. The Ultimate Fighter still does well.”

White went on to defend the recent string of low viewership and ratings, claiming that the show still averages a million viewers.
