The Ultimate Fighter: The Smashes - Season 01

The Ultimate Fighter: The Smashes is the second foreign version of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)-produced reality television series The Ultimate Fighter. The name The Smashes is a play on the 130 year-old cricket rivalry between England and Australia called “The Ashes.” The UFC held open tryouts during June 2012. The casting call was for Lightweight and Welterweight fighters who are at least 21 years old and have a minimum of two wins in three professional fights.
