British broadcaster channel Five has confirmed that they will be airing The Ultimate Fighter 11 next spring.
The national terrestrial channel first experimented with UFC programming by airing the tenth and latest instalment of the UFC reality series which was won by Roy “Big Country” Nelson.
“We have acquired the rights to Series 11 but no broadcast dates are scheduled at the moment,” a Five official told MMA Exclusive.
“We currently only have an agreement to broadcast five UFC Main Event programmes and are planning to transmit UFC 105 on Sunday 3rd January.”
TUF: 11 premieres in March and sees former UFC light-heavyweight champions Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz renew hostilities as they coach 16 middleweights en route to a third meeting in the Octagon.
The Iceman, 40, was a coach on the first season in 2005, either side of TKO victories over Ortiz in 2004 and 2006.
