This series featured a change from the usual Ultimate Fighter format.
Instead of coaches, prominent trainers and UFC fighters acted as advisors.
Randy Couture, Georges St-Pierre, Marc Laimon, the grappling instructor from seasons 1 and 2, and Mark DellaGrotte, Kenny Florian's kickboxing trainer, were the advisers.
Matt Serra defeated Georges St-Pierre for the UFC Welterweight Championship, while Lutter lost to Anderson Silva in a non-title bout.
[1] Featured were the finals from The Ultimate Fighter 4 in both the Middleweight and Welterweight divisions.
