The latest edition of the UFC’s long-running reality series, The Ultimate Fighter, kicks off Sept. 14 on FX, but it appears things may not be off to a good start. According to Jay Pagliaro of Pull No Punches Radio, all fighters with the exception of Max Griffin and David Michaud, are facing suspensions from the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
