The ninth season of "The Ultimate Fighter" opens with a quick reminder that only one of 13 past "TUF" winners hasn't been an American fighter - "TUF 3" champion and Team U.K. coach Michael Bisping.
From there we learn that this year's first episode will be all about Brit on Brit crime, as Team U.K. looks to pair its 16 fighters down to an elite eight.
The action starts quickly at the U.K.'s famed Wolfslair Academy.
After UFC President Dana White offers the 16 potential "TUF" winners a brief explanation of the schedule - and a mandatory pep talk to explain the levity of the situation - we get the the outspoken leader's first F-bomb of the season.
"Welcome to 'The Ultimate Fighter' mother[expletive]," White says.
With filming for "The Ultimate Fighter: U.S. vs. U.K." beginning before the UFC 93 showdown between potential U.S. coaches Rich Franklin and Dan Henderson, both fighters made their way to the U.K. to evaluate the talent.
