The Ultimate Fighter Live Season 17 Episode 1 Premiere back. Watch The Ultimate Fighter Live Season 17 Episode 1 online Premiere as just a little less than two weeks before the debut of The Ultimate Fighter: Team Jones vs. Team Sonnen, the UFC has revealed the full list of fighters who will competing on the show.

USA Today (via MMA Junkie) broke the news on Wednesday, providing the names of 28 middleweights from various corners of the world. Moreover, the level of talent seems to be a notch above what previous seasons have brought to the reality TV show in recent years. MMA Junkie notes that this season's cast includes seven undefeated fighters, with over 200 professional MMA victories between all the competitors.

Here are the fighters who will be seen in the season premiere as they go through the elimination rounds to earn a spot into the TUF house. By proxy, they'll also be battling for a chance to be coached by either UFC champion Jon Jones or former middleweight contender Chael Sonnen:Aside from the rivalry between coaches Jones and Sonnen, one of the major points of interest for Season 17 has been Dana White's cryptic stories about one fighter who "terrified" the entire cast during filming.

As White originally told members of the MMA media last December (via MMA Fighting), this same fighter is apparently so dangerous, he sent every single one of his opponents out of the Octagon in the back of an ambulance: he whole house is terrified of this guy. F-- terrified. Everybody. I picked this fight, and this guy is lined up with the guy I'm telling you about, and the guy has a nervous breakdown in the house over the weekend. Has a f-- nervous breakdown. Freaks out and has a nervous breakdown. This guy scared the living s--- out of everyone. It's awesome.

The 17th main season of The Ultimate Fighter is already dead set on drawing a lot of eyeballs with coaches Jon Jones and Chael Sonnen, but Dana White hints at another star on the rise.

During a media lunch attended by the UFC president and Ronda Rousey, White hinted at an interesting competitor that was so violent, he had the rest of the TUF 17 house paralyzed in fear (via MMA Mania):

"We have a guy on this season of The Ultimate Fighter, every fight he's in, someone goes to the hospital. The whole house is terrified of this guy. F---ing terrified. Everybody. I picked this fight, and this guy is lined up with the guy I'm telling you about, and the guy has a nervous breakdown in the house over the weekend. Has a f---ing nervous breakdown. Freaks out and has a nervous breakdown. This guy scared the living s--- out of everyone. It's awesome."

This seems to corroborate with a quote from MMA Fighting's Dave Doyle, who relayed that White mentioned one fighter on TUF 17 "who put all four of his opponents into the hospital" during the season.

If this mystery fighter made it through four men during the season, that seems to hint that he's a finalist who will be heading to the Ultimate Fighter 17 finale showdown.

Typically, fighters on a normal season of TUF have to compete in three fights to get a shot at the show's six-figure contract prize and free Harley Davidson motorcycle. That includes at least one qualifying fight to get into the house, a quarterfinal fight and an additional semifinal bout.

But if this fighter sent four men to the hospital, that either hints at an extra round or an unaired qualifying match. It wouldn't involve a physical altercation outside of a cage, as the TUF rules explicitly state that fighters will be banned from the season if they attack each other outside competition.
