When Demetrious Johnson takes on Tim Elliott for the flyweight title this Saturday, December 3, it will mark the conclusion of the 24th American season of The Ultimate Fighter. Including 10 international seasons spread out between Brazil, Latin America, Australia and China, that makes for a total of 34 iterations of the venerable reality show.
Over its 11 years of existence, the show has produced a torrent of talent, and the epic finale fight between Stephan Bonnar and Forrest Griffin has entered UFC lore as the moment the promotion made it into the big time.
