‘The Ultimate Fighter’ has introduced countless UFC contenders, and even two champions, to the mixed martial arts world. The notable ‘Ultimate Fighter 1′ alums will reconvene where it all took place, at the UFC Training Center in Las Vegas, to reflect on the highs and lows from their experience.
Moderated by Joe Rogan, the panel of fighters including UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Forrest Griffin, Chris Leben, Stephan Bonnar, Josh Koscheck, Nate Quarry, Kenny Florian, Diego Sanchez, Bobby Southworth, and Mike Swick, will discuss how much their lives have changed since the show’s premiere, both professionally and personally.
