Fight star Ross rattles cage

May 3 2009 by Phil Doherty, Sunday Sun

They are competing for the lightweight (11st 1lb) and welterweight (12st 2lb) contracts.

They all had to live together in the Ultimate Fighter house and were filmed in their preparation.

Ross said: “It was a surreal experience living with the person you were destined to fight, but everyone was a professional and there were no egos.

“Team GB were all great training partners and we all gelled.

“I’m proud to represent my county, the North East and of course my home city of Sunderland.

“My aim is to continue fighting and hopefully winning. I feel that I have the potential to go all the way to be a World Champion.”

The four finalists will square off in a live finale on Saturday, June 20, when the two weight class winners will be declared The Ultimate Fighter.
