After 20 seasons The Ultimate Fighter will now move the location away from Las
Vegas to Coconut Creek, Florida. The reality show of the UFC is revamping their
traditional prospect tryout format for a camp versus camp season between two gyms
embroiled in a bitter rivalry.
UFC President Dana White hosts the 21st season with American Top Team led by Dan
Lambert taking on Glenn Robinson’s Blackzilians.
The rivalry dates back to when a small group of fighters from American Top Team split
off and joined Robinson to form the Jaco Training Center, and earned the nickname
“Blackzilians” when it was pointed out that most of the roster consisted of Brazilian and
black fighters.
The Ultimate Fighter: American Top Team vs. Blackzilians will run on Fox Sports 1
Wednesdays.
