Dana White: ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ still the ‘greatest training ground ever for up and coming fighters’

“The Ultimate Fighter” will soon make its return to the UFC airwaves.

The long running reality series that helped launch the careers of fighters like Forrest Griffin, Michael Bisping and Rashad Evans went on hiatus after the UFC’s television contract with FOX came to an end last year.

UFC president Dana White has promised that would revive the series once the new UFC Apex facility was opened in Las Vegas and now he’s moving towards that goal after meeting with executive producer Craig Piligian on Tuesday night.

“[Craig] Piligian and I are working on “The Ultimate Fighter” right now,” White revealed during a scrum with reporters following the latest episode of the Contender Series.
