Spike TV on Friday released information for Season 10 of "The Ultimate Fighter." Although Season 9 has yet to debut – it begins April 1 on Spike TV with a live finale on June 20 – the next season is ready to go into casting.
The tryouts for Season 10, according to Spike, are slated to feature not two, but three weight classes. Although no details as to whetherthree weight classes will actually be featured in the filming of the series were available at the time of publication, the Season 10 tryouts are open to middleweights (185 pounds), light heavyweights (205 pounds), and heavyweights (225 pounds).
Note that the heavyweight category is capped at 225 pounds, so it wouldn't be at all surprising if those fighters might be asked to compete in the light heavyweight category, but that was not yet made clear by Spike officials.
The first open casting call for Season 10 is set for April 6 at the Marriott Seattle Airport in Seattle, Wash. Fighter registration begins at 8 a.m. PT, tryouts at 10 a.m. PT.
According to Spike, all applicants must be over 21 years of age, must have a professional MMA record, and will be required to grapple and hit pads, so need to dress appropriately and bring all gear with them.
