GLENDALE - [UPDATED: 9:18 p.m.] With the fame and notoriety of being on a reality television show and the supreme prize of a six-figure contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship incentive enough, cast members of "The Ultimate Fighter" are also privy to training and learning from some of the best in the mixed-martial-arts business.
"When I was on 'Ultimate Fighter' season one, I know how naive I was and how I didn't know anything about MMA and I was a sponge and I took advantage of it, learning from Chuck Liddell," said Coach Josh Koscheck, beginning the latest episode of "The Ultimate Fighter," which aired on Wednesday night on Spike TV. "Hopefully these guys will take advantage of the guys that we have here."
Koscheck, the coach of Team Koscheck, which includes Glendale grapplers Sako Chivichyan and Sevak Magakian, brought in some extra help for his team in the latest episode - most notably UFC Hall of Famer Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell and Jon Fitch.
