The Ultimate Fighter: Team GSP vs Team Koscheck had its season premiere episode last September 15, 2010 at Spike TV.
It was titled "Go For It."
It started with UFC President Dana White welcoming the 28 fighters to the UFC training facility and introducing the coaches, Georges St-Pierre and Josh Koscheck.
He then announced the return of the wildcard format first used at Season 11: Team Liddell vs Team Rampage.
The fighters need to win their first bout to get in the house, but after the fighters have made it, two of the opening-round losers will fight for a chance for the quarterfinals.
After Dana's customary peep talk which was bleeped heavily, we go the elimination round.
Elimination round matches were for two rounds. If there was a draw after two rounds, a third round would be fought.
These are the results of each fight:
# Marc Stevens defeated T.J. O'Brien via TKO (punches) at 0:13 of round 1
# Spencer Paige defeated Steve Magdaleno via unanimous decision (20-18, 20-18, 20-18)
# Nam Phan defeated Mike Budnik via TKO (liver strike and punches) in round 1
# Andy Main defeated Jason Brenton via submission (triangle choke/armbar) in round 1
# Jonathan Brookins defeated Ran Weathers via unanimous decision (20-18, 20-18, 20-18)
# Sako Chivitchian defeated Toby Grear via unanimous decision (20-18, 20-18, 20-18)
# Jeff Lentz defeated Daniel Head via submission (rear naked choke) in round 2
# Alex Caceres defeated Paul Barrow via submission (rear naked choke) in round 1
# Michael Johnson defeated Pablo Garza via unanimous decision (20-18, 20-18, 20-18)
# Aaron Wilkinson defeated Mike Richman via unanimous decision (20-18, 20-18, 20-18)
# Kyle Watson defeated Joseph Duffy via submission (rear naked choke) in round 1
# Sevak Magakian defeated JJ Ambrose via unanimous decision (20-18, 20-18, 20-18)
# Cody McKenzie defeated Amir Khillah via submission (guillotine choke) in round 1
# Dane Sayers defeated Ariel Sexton via submission (standing rear naked choke) in round 2
Most impressive of these was the first fight, Stevens knocked-out O'Brien in only 13 seconds!
I also like Phan's liver blow and Caceres' Bruce Lee imitation complete with the iconic yellow jumpsuit.
Lentz saying "Don't count me out" to GSP was definitely a wake-up call not to judge anyone by their looks.
So, out of 28 fighters, these are those who made it into the house:
Marc Stevens, Spencer Paige, Nam Phan, Andy Main, Jonathan Brookins, Sako Chivitchian, Jeffrey Lentz, Alex "Bruce LeeRoy" Caceres, Michael Johnson, Aaron Wilkinson, Kyle Watson, Sevak Magakian, Cody McKenzie, and Dane Sayers
In The Ultimate Fighter Season 12 Episode 2, GSP and Kos gets to select their fighters.
Watch it on September 22, 2010.
