Season 9 Of The Ultimate Fighter To Debut On April 1st

According to MMA Junkie (link below), the finale of the ninth season of The Ultimate Fighter will air on Spike TV on June 20th, 2009. The location of the event has not been announced as of yet.

According to multiple reports, the preliminary fights have all been completed and the final match-ups have been set.

The ninth season of the show will feature Welterweights and Lightweights.

32 fighters will be vying for a six-figure contract. Similar to last year's format, each fighter must win a preliminary fight to secure a spot on the show. The winner moves on to the house, while the loser goes home.

The ninth season of the show will feature a "U.S. vs U.K" format, with Dan Henderson and Michael Bisping acting as the two coaches this season. Bisping and Henderson are set to square off against each other at UFC 100.

Some of the fighters expected to take part in the show include Jason "Dynamite" Dent and Robert Browning, who is the younger brother of TUF 8 cast member Junie Browning.

We've heard from multiple sources that this season is "very good".
