Sixteen of the best up-and-coming lightweight division mixed martial artists from around the world head to Vegas for their chance at UFC glory and a six-figure contract as the fifth season of Bravo’s The Ultimate Fighter smashes through your screens.

In TUF 5, sixteen men will endure a gruelling regimen of jiu-jitsu, judo, muay thai, karate, boxing and wrestling to prove they have what it takes to become the UFC’s newest champion. And the intense competition between the fighters continues after they leave the gym – at The Ultimate Fighter House. Forced to live alongside on another, these warriors form uneasy alliances, knowing that at any moment they could be called to face each other in the famed UFC Octagon… Expect battles to be fought on both sides of the ropes!

Former UFC Lightweight Champion Jens Pulver and former UFC Welterweight Champion B.J. Penn will serve as coaches, and, for the first time on the series, the coaches will fight each other on the season finale, putting to rest their long-standing feud. So gear yourself up for another season of bone-crushing reality television, UFC style, with The Ultimate Fighter 5 – Tuesdays @ 11pm, exclusively on Bravo!
