This FIGHT SAVED the UFC | The Ultimate Fighter & Forrest Griffin Saved the UFC
This fight saved the UFC.
Stephan Bonner and Forrest Griffin would meet in the octagon for the ultimate fighter season 1 finale.
Which was the first season of a Spike TV reality show where UFC fighters would live together and fight each other to find out who was the ultimate fighter.
The show was the UFC’s last-ditch effort to make the sport mainstream after being 44 million dollars in the hole.
Luckily, the show was a smash hit, with the final fight being an absolute war, where both men would earn a contract, and the UFC would sign another TV deal in the parking lot that night
If this show didn’t work, the UFC and dana white was done for which is why
