The New Star, Jiu-Jitsu's First Reality TV Show

The success of the Big Brother brand around the world has created many branches of the TV show, with a variety of alternative formats, one of the most well known to martial arts fans being The Ultimate Fighter (TUF), a product of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) that achieved peak ratings back in the mid-2010s but is still hanging strong, currently going for its 29th season. TUF provided an interesting concept where mixed martial arts fighters were stuck in a house and had to compete against each other to win the show and earn a three-figure contract with the famous fighting promotion.
