Episode 11: A Will to Win
For this episode, the starting credits changed to reflect Ortiz' departure and Franklin's entrance. The season was renamed "Team Liddell vs. Team Franklin." This was also a two-hour episode.
* Forrest Griffin, Tyson Griffin and Gray Maynard also come in as the assistant coaches.[13]
* A number of fighters within the house decided to play a prank on Brad Tavares, Jamie Yager, Kris McCray and Kyle Noke in order to get revenge on a previous incident in which Tavares, Yager and McCray set off air horns in the middle of the night. This prank follows a similar structure to the original, in that it involves air horns during the early hours of the morning. This angers Tavares, who vows to get revenge.
* Court McGee defeated Brad Tavares via technical submission (rear naked choke) at 4:45 of round 3.
* Dana called the fighters to the gym where he introduces them to several members of the US marines. The fighters spent the day training with the marines before going back to the house and having a barbecue.
* Tavares and Yager made up a concoction of flour and beans which they began to throw out of their window at some of their housemates who were sunbathing. This eventually caused a heated confrontation between Yager and James Hammortree, followed by another confrontation between Yager and Kyacey Uscola. Yager insulted Uscola's fighting credentials and Uscola offered to fight him outside, to which Yager agreed. However, as Uscola stands outside waiting for Yager and calling him out through his window, Yager simply shuts his window and remains in his room.
* Kris McCray defeated Josh Bryant via unanimous decision after three rounds.
* After the fight, Rich Franklin jokes that he's the only undefeated coach in the history of The Ultimate Fighter.
* Court McGee and Kris McCray are announced as the season's finalists. Special mention was made of Kris McCray setting the new record for fights per season, having fought five times ("literally every Tuesday" according to Dana White).
