Love it or hate it, the Ufc knows what they're doing. With professional boxing fractured and star-less, the Ufc has stepped in as the de facto leader in dudes-pummeling-dudes entertainment.

One large feather in the cap of Dana White and company is The Ultimate Fighter, the SpikeTV Ufc reality show which features established Mma stars coaching up-and-comers in a season long tournament. The seventh season of The Ultimate Fighter debuts Wednesday, April 2 on SpikeTV and features a brand new format.
