The Ultimate Fighter: Team Jones vs. Team Sonnen (also known as
The Ultimate Fighter 17) is the current installment of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)-produced reality television series
The Ultimate Fighter.
The series was officially announced by the UFC in October 2012 with current Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones coaching opposite Chael Sonnen.
The two coaches are then scheduled to meet in a title fight on April 27, 2013 at UFC 159.
This move drew criticism from MMA critics and fans, as many felt that
Sonnen, who had previously lost his last match and not competed in the
UFC Light Heavyweight division in years, had not done enough to earn a
title shot.
This season will be the first to air on Tuesdays, after The Ultimate Fighter: Live and The Ultimate Fighter: Team Carwin vs. Team Nelson's failure to generate the desired ratings for FX on Friday evenings.
