The Ultimate Fighter 1 Finale fight between Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar delivered a miracle to the company in the form of one of the most incredible fights ever held on free TV.

Both fighters gave everything they had in a razor close fight which skyrocketed UFC's popularity like never before. In the following seasons also TUF presented a lot of world-class fighters to the UFC roster.
According to Dana White, The UFC's prime reality show which served as its the feeder of new talents for the past 13 years may not survive its new multi-Billion dollar deal with ESPN. Instead, 'Dana White Tuesday Night Contender Series' (DWTNCS), will make the move from YouTube to ESPN.
TUF was an entertaining show and it meant a lot to the UFC fans, but for the past couple of years, it failed to produce any big stars like it used to, and DWTNCS has been a very successful endeavor for the UFC.
The indemnifying popularity of TUF and the rise of DWTNCS makes the ESPN deal the perfect occasion to bid farewell to the TUF and welcome its new avatar in DWTNCS.
