Last week UFC president Dana White introduced a new concept to "The Ultimate Fighter". For the first time in the history of Spike TV's popular MMA reality series, the cast members would have to fight there way on to the show.

Unlike previous renditions, where the two coaches would begin by picking their teams, the first two weeks of Season 7 have acted as an audition for 32 hungry fighters fighting for 16 spots.

The "win your in" concept is a new twist that has allowed coaches Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Forrest Griffin to conduct a scouting mission as they prepare to choose their team of Middleweights.

In Episode 1 last week, former collegiate All-American wrestler C.B. Dollaway, former IFL fighter Mike Dolce, and the well-rounded amateur kick boxer Amir Sadollah turned in possibly the most impressive performances, as the first eight fighters to win entry into the TUF house were revealed. The other winners were Cale Yarbrough, Dante Rivera, Nick Klein, Paul Bradley and Jeremy May.

In Episode 2, Wednesday night, the final eight spots were up for grabs.

Dan Simmler (1-0) vs Matthew Riddle (1-0)

The night began with a bang and a broken jaw. In what was likely the most violent knockout in TUF history. Matthew "The Answer" Riddle provided the bang, when at the beginning of round two he stepped into a front kick from Matt Serra trained Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu specialist Dan Simmler, and with full force connected a perfectly executed right hook to Simmler's jaw. Simmler immediately crumpled to the canvas and appeared to lose consciousness. Riddle pounced and landed three more hard punches to Simmler's face before referee Herb Dean could step in to stop the fight.

While Riddle and his corner celebrated with excitement, the situation quickly turned tense, as a semi-conscious Simmler let out a series of loud eerie moans that fortold the seriousness of his injuries. The ring doctor quickly arrived on the scene and while applying ice to Simmler's face said, in an uncomfortably concerned tone, that Simmler's "jaw is a mess".

When Simmler finally gains back the awareness of his surroundings, he can't remember what has happened, and while in the locker room repeatedly asks if he was in a fight or was it just practice. An ambulance arrives and he is taken on a stretcher to the hospital.

Luke Zachrich (7-1) vs Patrick Schultz (7-1-1)

The second fight of the night pitted two of the more experienced fighters on the show, when former King of the Cage grappler Luke Zachrich took on the Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu trained Patrick Schultz.
