The Ultimate Fighter is the reality series that launched the mixed martial arts explosion around the world in 2005. Through 12 weeks, 16 up-and-coming mixed martial artists fight to stay in the house while given world-class coaching by the UFC’s elite fighters. Each competes to be declared the Ultimate Fighter and win a six-figure UFC contract.

After a brutal 48 hour journey the Australians finally arrive in the Quebec hills tired and jet-lagged. As they settle in to their magnificent mountain chalet coach Kyle Noke warns them the Canadians are confidently predicting a series sweep. Tempers soon flare when the Aussies hear the Canadians gossiping that they're 'scared' to fight them. The Aussies reply - Meet us in the Octagon and you'll see just how scared we are.

As the results of the Kajan - Brenda fight reverberate through the House the Aussies rally around the fighter they call 'Coach'. Zein Saliba is a powerful middleweight with a string of convincing wins behind him. But he's up against one of the best middleweights in Canada, Elias Theodorou, who sports an 8 and 0 record. Elias is not just a fighter but also an actor and part-time hair model. He's someone the Aussies are convinced they can beat because he spends almost as much time in front of the mirror as he does in the Octagon. Aussie coach Kyle Noke promises that once Zein is done with him, Elias' hair - and face - won't look half as good.

Canadian welter weight Chad Laprise is the most feared striker in the house with a career built around his devastating knock-out punch. A devout Christian Chad boasts that he'll win the 25,000 dollar Best Knock-Out prize money in his bout again Aussie Chris Indich. But Chris who fights under the name, 'The Savage', grew up tough on the hard Australian outback fighting his way out of poverty and into the Octagon. Chris tells Chad that in Australia they know there's no such thing as 'easy money'.

Following his fight Chris Indich has become the most popular fighter in the House. Respected by the Canadians and admired by the Australians Chris' resilience in swapping leather with Chad has shown everyone in the House the true meaning of courage. In particular Chris has become a hero to Australia's 19 year old 'wild child', Tyler Manawaroa. As the most highly-rated middle weight in Australia Tyler's (10 - 0) has become the House 'pest' irritating friend and foe alike. In particular Tyler's constant digeridoo playing has gotten under the skin of giant Canadian, Nordine Taleb who Tyler will face in the Octagon.

Tyler's courage has turned the mood of the House on its head. Cheers of 'Aussie Aussie Aussie' echo late into the night. The teams awake to find the fighter house blanketed in snow leading to an early morning snowball fight. Australian welter-weight Richie Walsh struggles to hide an injury as he prepares to fight young Canadian Matthew Desroches. As a member of Canada's military forces Matt has been angered by the Aussie's making fun of a giant wall-mounted moose head and vows to take revenge on Richie.

Four time Judo Olympian Dan 'the Grizzly Bear' Kelly is a big man with a bad temper who faces Canadian striker Sheldon Westcott, a self-described 'Ultimate Geek' due to his obsession with MMA statistics.
