The Ultimate Fighter: Team Hughes vs. Team Serra was the sixth season of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) produced reality television series The Ultimate Fighter, and premiered on September 19, 2007, on Spike TV, after UFC Fight Night 11. This season featured only welterweight fighters (156–170 lb). The teams were coached by current UFC welterweight champion Matt Serra and former welterweight champion Matt Hughes. The coaches were to fight for the welterweight title after the completion of the show, on December 29 at UFC 79. [1] However, due to an injury sustained by Serra, Hughes instead faced former welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre for the interim title, with St-Pierre defeating Hughes by submission in the second round and going on to challenge Serra for the undisputed welterweight title at UFC 83.
Both coaches were participating in a series of TUF for the second time. Hughes was a coach on The Ultimate Fighter 2 and Serra won the welterweight tournament on The Ultimate Fighter 4.
Unlike in previous seasons, the winner of a match did not determine which team picked the next match. The teams alternated picking matches in the first round, regardless of results, and the team that had the most wins picked the fights for the quarterfinals.
* Mitichyan was replaced on episode 1 by Koppenhaver due to injury.
