History
Headlining the card were Tito Ortiz and Patrick Côté. Côté was a late replacement for Lion's Den fighter Guy Mezger, who pulled out of the event after being taken to the hospital due to stroke-like symptoms.[1] Patrick Côté was moved from the undercard to the main event.
The event included another episode of "On The Mat", teaching the Kimura. This event was also featured on the first season of The Ultimate Fighter.
This event became notable due to the announcement of the reality-based series The Ultimate Fighter by Dana White, which premiered in January the following year.
