The Ultimate Fighter: Team Lesnar vs. Team dos Santos is the thirteenth installment of the Ultimate Fighting Championship produced reality television series The Ultimate Fighter.

The UFC and Spike TV held open tryouts on November 4, 2010, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The casting call went out for Welterweight and Middleweight fighters, however, all fighters will be in the welterweight division.[1] All fighters applying and trying out for the show must have at least three professional fights and be at least 21 years of age.[2] Notables who turned up to the tryouts included Strikeforce veterans Karl Amoussou, Andre Galvao, and Zak Cummings, and former TUF contestants Frank Lester and Jeremiah Riggs.[3]

It was confirmed during the Fight for the Troops 2 conference call that Brock Lesnar and Junior dos Santos would be the coaches for this season.[4]

This season did not feature an elimination round like the two seasons before it, however, the "wild card" selections introduced in season 11 were still featured. The initial cast was 14 fighters rather than the usual 16, 28 or 32 in recent seasons.[5]

On May 12, 2011, midway through the airing of the season, Dana White announced that Brock Lesnar pulled out of the coaches' fight due to the return of his diverticulitis.[6]

[edit]
Episode 1: Something to Prove
  • Dana White welcomed 14 fighters to the UFC training facility and announced that all 14 would automatically get into the house. He also announced the return of the wildcard format.
  • The coaches for the season were introduced as Brock Lesnar and Junior dos Santos. They then went on to evaluate the fighters.
  • During the evaluations, Jury got injured and was checked out by a doctor, who said that nothing was broken but still wanted to do an MRI.
  • Both coaches met in White's office to go through the fighter picks via a coin toss (green for Lesnar, grey for dos Santos). The coin toss was won by Lesnar who chose to pick the first fighter, leaving dos Santos with first choice of matches.

Lesnar Len Bentley Charlie Rader Tony Ferguson Clay Harvison Myles Jury Chris Cope Nordin Asrih
Dos Santos Shamar Bailey Ryan McGillivray Javier Torres Ramsey Nijem Zachary Davis Mick Bowman Keon Caldwell

  • Jury was replaced by Chuck O'Neil.
  • Dos Santos announced that Bailey will face Asrih.
  • Both fighters speak of their religious backgrounds, as Bailey is the son of a pastor and Asrih is a German-born Muslim.
  • Shamar Bailey defeated Nordin Asrih by unanimous decision after two rounds.[8]
Episode 2: Suck It Up
  • Keon Caldwell struggled during an intense Team dos Santos training session and vomited. He told dos Santos that it was hard for him to be away from his family.
  • Lesnar admitted that he expected to lose the first fight between his seventh pick Nordin Asrih and Team dos Santos' top pick Shamar Bailey.
  • Caldwell told dos Santos the next day that he wanted to go home. Dos Santos, and later White, encourage to him to keep going. After initially agreeing to continue, Caldwell later changed his mind and left the show.
  • Dos Santos announced that Javier Torres would face Chris Cope.
  • Chris Cope defeated Javier Torres via unanimous decision after three rounds.[9]
Episode 3: Chicken Salad
  • Lesnar's "making chicken salad out of chicken shit" comment confused his team, but he recovered by telling his fighters they became chicken salad once they had made it onto the show, and he also told them to stay motivated.
  • Justin Edwards, a former Bellator MMA fighter and 6–0 in his career, arrived to replace Keon Caldwell on Team dos Santos.
  • Dos Santos' wrestling coach, Lew Polley, ran an intense training session that eventually resulted in Shamar Bailey being cut above the eye.
  • Lesnar announced that Len Bentley would face Ryan McGillivray.
  • Chris Cope was seen hanging out with Team dos Santos a lot, making the rest of the green team wonder what his motives were. Bentley seemed especially suspicious and asked Lesnar to talk to Cope, who told him to calm down and fight.
  • Dissatisfied with Polley's training sessions, dos Santos reminded him that the competition is a team effort, not his own.
  • Four hours prior to weigh-in, McGillivray weighed 180 lb, so he cut the weight in 45 minutes with dos Santos and Polley in an Epsom salt bath. Both fighters made weight at 170 lb.

  • Ryan McGillivray defeated Len Bentley by majority decision after two rounds.[10]
Episode 4: A Bad Dream
  • Lesnar returned after leaving before the Bentley-McGillivray fight and congratulated Len Bentley on his efforts. Lesnar showed a commitment to getting wins from his four remaining fighters yet to compete: Tony Ferguson, Clay Harvison, Chuck O'Neil, and Charlie Rader.
  • Lesnar removed Harvison from a training session momentarily for looking distracted and not committed. He also was angry with Rader for the same reasons.
  • Dos Santos announced that Ramsey Nijem would face Rader.
  • Lesnar invited Matt Hughes as a guest instructor for wrestling techniques.
  • Ramsey Nijem defeated Charlie Rader by submission (rear naked choke) at 3:31 of the second round.[11]

Episode 5: Wow Me
  • As Lesnar continued to scold his team after Charlie Rader's loss to Ramsey Nijem, Len Bentley came back into the room, and Lesnar questioned his toughness. He said that Chris Cope (the only fighter on the green team to win his bout through four preliminary fights) is the only one that has impressed him so far.
  • Back at the house, Bentley continued to vent his frustration and showed his dislike of Lesnar.
  • Dos Santos announced that Mick Bowman would face Clay Harvison.
  • At a Team dos Santos training session, dos Santos was drilling boxing techniques when Lew Polley took over, leaving dos Santos unhappy with him.
  • As Harvison trained for his upcoming bout, he was annoyed that Cope was watching him. Harvison said in a confessional he knew "a shady person" when he saw one.
  • Someone wrote "Chris Cope Double Agent" in the sand in the zen garden. Cope asked his team whether they thought he was a spy or not, and most of the team said they had "suspicions." Later that night, Cope entered the team bedroom and blamed Tony Ferguson for the message in the sand, based on handwriting similarities. Things got heated and everyone was paranoid.
  • Bowman confessed to a few of his teammates that he wrote the message, saying "it was only meant to be a bit of fun." Ironically, his motive was that he sometimes thought that Cope was hanging around his team to bring information back to Team Lesnar.
  • Clay Harvison defeated Mick Bowman by unanimous decision after two rounds.
  • During the fight, Harvison had blocked a switch kick with his hand, breaking his pinky finger with the bone sticking out of the skin. His TUF stint was in jeopardy.[13]
Episode 6: Mean Streak
  • During a sparring session, Len Bentley collapsed in pain holding his knee. Lesnar was bothered by the injuries his team was sustaining.
  • Clay Harvison and Bentley were both at the hospital where they found that both their respective injuries were nothing too serious.
  • Dos Santos discovered that Lew Polley tried to visit the fighters' house on his own which made him feel like Polley was overstepping his boundaries once again. He then asked fellow coach, Luiz Dorea, for advice. Following Dorea's advice, dos Santos decides to send Polley home.
  • Lesnar announces the match-ups: Tony Ferguson vs. Justin Edwards and Chuck O'Neil vs. Zach Davis.
  • Tony Ferguson defeated Justin Edwards by KO (upkick) at 3:56 of the first round.
  • Zach Davis defeated Chuck O'Neil by submission (triangle choke) at 3:20 of the first round.
  • The wildcard match is decided. Edwards was picked, but was told that he cannot compete due to being suspended by the athletic commission.
  • The wildcard matches up Torres against O'Neil.[14]
