The Ultimate Fighter 3: Fridays @ 10pm

The Ultimate Fighter is back for round three, exclusively on Bravo. Sixteen of the world's finest Mixed Martial Arts amateurs will compete for two UFC contracts. Series three sees UFC legends - and sworn rivals - Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock coaching contenders, while UFC President Dana White presents the show.

The sixteen contestants will face a gruelling regime of jiu-jitsu, judo, Muay Thai, karate, boxing and wrestling. They'll also share a house in Las Vegas for the duration of the series, knowing that sooner or later they will have to square up to their housemates.

Training is brutal, while the fights promise broken bones and shattered egos - but two winners will walk off with prestigious UFC contracts worth six-figure sums.

This series sees two Brits step up to the challenge. Twenty-six-year-old light heavyweight contender Michael B hails from Liverpool. His Polish aristocrat ancestry landed him his nickname, The Count.

Middleweight Ross is from Stoke-on-Trent, where he runs The Gladiator Gym. The
28-year-old landed a place in UFC at an open casting call in London. Both promise one hell of a fight - but they'll have some real competition for this prize.
