Spike TV's "The Ultimate Fighter 10: Heavyweights" will literally be the biggest season ever of the series, showcasing 16 of the best unsigned heavyweight mixed martial arts fighters in the world. Featuring former UFC light heavyweight champions "Suga" Rashad Evans and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson as coaches, "The Ultimate Fighter 10" marks the only installment to include only the heavyweight weight class (206+ lbs).

"The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights" (Season 10) includes a list of notable athletes with impressive and diverse pedigrees including four former NFL players, UFC veterans, a former IFL heavyweight champ, and a highly-publicized former EliteXC fighter who gained prominence through his non-sanctioned bouts on YouTube.

The cast of "The Ultimate Fighter 10" includes:

Zak Jensen – standout wrestler at Augsburg College.
Marcus Jones – former 1st round NFL draft pick who had a six-year career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Scott Junk – Division II All-American football player at Southwest Oklahoma State and fought in UFC 76.
James McSweeney – former international kickboxing and Muay Thai champion.
John Madsen – defeated Brock Lesnar in a high school wrestling match.
Matt Mitrione - played for New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings.
Roy Nelson – former IFL Heavyweight Champion.
Demico Rogers – high school football and wrestling star.
Brendan Schaub – played for Buffalo Bills and Arena Football's Utah Blaze.
Darrill Schoonover – decorated Army veteran.
Wes Shivers – former member of the Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Falcons.
Wes Sims - fought two heated battles with former UFC champ Frank Mir at UFC 43 and UFC 46.
Kimbo Slice – former EliteXC heavyweight contender and YouTube sensation.
Abe Wagner – played linebacker at Michigan Tech and has a degree in mechanical engineering.
Mike Wessel – UFC veteran and former strength and conditioning coach at University of Arkansas.
Justin Wren – All-American high school wrestler.


During the six-week taping of "The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights," these 16 men endured a grueling regimen of jiu-jitsu, judo, Muay Thai, karate, boxing and wrestling. The intense competition among the fighters continues after they leave the gym—at the "Ultimate Fighter 10" House. These "Ultimate Fighter 10" warriors must live together, knowing that any day they might be forced to fight each other in the famed UFC Octagon.

The two finalists on "The Ultimate Fighter 10" will square off in a live finale Saturday, December 5 on Spike TV, when the winner will be declared "The Ultimate Fighter" and net the six-figure contract and a cash prize. UFC President Dana White will once again serve as host of the series.

Craig Piligian of Pilgrim Films and Television, Frank Fertitta III, Lorenzo Fertitta, Dana White of Zuffa, LLC, and Kevin Kay of Spike TV are the executive producers of "The Ultimate Fighter." Brian J. Diamond, senior vice president, sports & specials, Spike TV is co-executive producer and Christopher Martello is executive in charge of production of "The Ultimate Fighter" for Spike TV.
