Press Release: Penn & Pulver To Coach TUF 5
Top UFC Lightweight Contenders B.J. Penn and Jens Pulver to Serve As
Coaches

NEW YORK, NY, December 19, 2006 -- Sixteen of the best up-and-coming
mixed martial artists from around the world will convene in Las
Vegas in mid-January in pursuit of one goal -- to be named
the 'ULTIMATE FIGHTER' and to be given a contract in the Ultimate
Fighting Championship organization.

The fifth season of Spike TV's highly successful reality series, The
Ultimate Fighter, features lightweights (155lbs) for the first time
ever. Former UFC Lightweight Champion Jens Pulver and former UFC
Welterweight Champion B.J. Penn will serve as coaches. A new twist
this season is Penn and Pulver will actually fight each other in the
show's live finale. The two fought previously in January, 2002 at
UFC 35 where Pulver won by a majority decision in a hard-fought 5-
round fight. The new season premieres Thursday, April 5 at 10:00pm
ET/PT.

Spike TV will telecast exclusive interviews with Penn and Pulver on
Inside The UFC Thursday, December 21 at 12:00 midnight where they
will discuss for the first time their thoughts and coaching
philosophies for Season 5 and their eventual dual in the Octagon.


And jsut a reminder that UFC 66: Liddell vs Ortiz 2 live on PPV is
Saturday December 30th.
