Ultimate Fighter 5

Via UFC Mania, the Ultimate Fighter season 5 is ready, and it looks pretty awesome. All one weight class, so a lot more potential matchups, and only one champion at the end.

BJ Penn and Jens Pulver as coaches, setting up a great fight between them after the finale. And damn, that guy in the back of the picture looks freakin' tall for a lightweight.

Dana seems stoked about the new season, so I'm hoping most of the fights don't go to a close decision, something lightweights have a tendency to do sometimes. At least with these guys though, there shouldn't be as much gassing and fatigue in the fights (which for heavier guys is understandable - they aren't getting to taper and rest up for the fight, but are fighting right out of hard training).
