|  UFC targeting 'TUF: Australia vs. U.K.' for 2012, eyes Brisbane for finale
UFC targeting 'TUF: Australia vs. U.K.' for 2012, eyes Brisbane for finale Quote:
While Brazil has been awarded the first-ever international edition of "The Ultimate Fighter," Australia may not be far behind.
At a Thursday press gathering Down Under, UFC managing director of international development Marshall Zelaznik said the company is "close" to securing a deal for "TUF: Australia vs. U.K."
If signed, the series would likely film in Australia later this year, and Brisbane's Brisbane Entertainment Center has been earmarked to host the finale.
"We are close to getting 'TUF: Australia vs. U.K.' done, and if we can close that, we will look to hold the finale in Brisbane," Zelznik today told MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps | MMAjunkie.com).
Current plans for "TUF: Australia vs. U.K." call for the series to be filmed and aired via tape delay in similar fashion to the U.S. version of "TUF" during its 15 seasons on Spike TV. Zelaznik did not reveal if the company has discussed potential coaches or when the series would likely tape/air.

Oh god...
The UFC is really aiming at our hearts now!
I don't really give a shit as far as cricket and rugby goes. Sure they're great sports on their own, but as far as our history goes back between the UK and Australia, is mostly wrapped in bollocks and dick cheese. It really is a cock fest of who has the biggest.
Nice one Zuffa/Dana, now we have something more to "hate" each other for. Can't we all just get along? This makes as much sense as a TUF US vs Middle East series.

I seriously hope they don't get Bisping to coach. Watching two seasons of him coaching is to much as it is.
