MMA Action 
2008-10-03
This is by far the best of the MMA action introducing many of the main stars in the UFC today.

UFC Rocks 2008-07-05
Anything to do with UFC can't go wrong. I love UFC and can't get enough. I recommend collecting them all for yourself.
It was great 2008-02-09
If you missed Season 1 of UFC, this is a must watch. I'm a big UFC fan, and my son didnt get to see Season 1. I bought this, and we both watched it. It was very enjoyable, and recommend it to anyone who likes UFC
Reality tv show works out it's kinks. Still cool, esp. the end. 2008-02-08
I like reality tv contest shows, and I like ultimate fighting, so this is a good mix for me. What's more, the payoff for watching the season (that is, the UFC final match) had a fight between two of the contestants that seemed truly historical.
Great 2008-02-06

Our favorite so far 2008-01-07
My husband and I have been watching TUF since season 3 or 4. I bought him TUF1 for Christmas this year and we watched it together.
While we didn't really like the challenges and could do without Willa Ford, we really enjoyed watching a season where the coaches had mutual respect for each other and got along. With a few exceptions, the guys seemed to respect each other and it was very cool to see how many of the season 1 fighters are now successful UFC fighters. We're really looking forward to seeing Forrest Griffing coach in TUF this season!
UFC SEASON ONE 2008-01-05
The first season for UFC's the Ultimate Fighter. If you have watched later versions of the Ultimate Fighter, you'll be surprised to see what ideas they had at the very beginning of it all. Things like team challenges, and a hot blonde hostess. This season is jam packed with a variety of drama (Chris Leben), sweet fights (GREATEST FINALE EVER), and twist (you'll have to watch and see).
As for all the things that you'll notice has changed thoughout the seasons, you'll notice that a lot is the same which means UFC did this show right the first go at it.
If the point of me writing this review is to convince you to buy it, know this;
If you love UFC, do what I did and buy every season. If you're so so on the UFC, this season will teach you about how the UFC runs and introduce you to the UFC which will make you just end up loving it. This first season got my girlfriend into UFC, which brought us closer together. haha
Best season of talent. A must have! 2007-12-09
The idea was brilliant: pit two legendary UFC Champions competing against eachother in another aspect of Mixed Martial Arts - COACHING. The Teams are divided by divisions and weight classes for Randy Couture (The former Light-Heavyweight and Heavyweight champion and future heavyweight champion) and Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell (Reigning Light-Heavyweight Champion). Interesting team challenges decide whose team gets to pick the first fight, and so on. Great season, introducing the likes of eight of the best middleweight rising stars and eight of the best light-heavyweight Future Stars of the fast growing phenomenon that is MMA.

Team Liddell: Bobby Southworth, Sam Hoger, Forrest Griffin, Alex Schoenauer

The best season 2007-12-03
If you like the ultimate fighter reality series, then you definitely have to see season one. They have some cheesy survivor type competitions but if you can get past that, the personalities and fighters are some of the best out of all seasons.
