The UFC and Spike TV held open tryouts on October 26, 2009, in Los Angeles, California. The casting call went out for middleweight and light heavyweight fighters.

White flips a coin (blue for Liddell, red for Ortiz) to decide who got the first pick. Ortiz got to pick the first fighter, while Liddell got to pick the first fight. White confronted Liddell about his team, believing that his picks were much weaker than Ortiz's due to a size and height difference between the two teams. He revealed that he and Ortiz often have different assessments about fighters. Team Liddell chooses Kyle Noke to fight Clayton McKinney. Tension heated up between Jamie Yager and McKinney as Yager, Brad Tavares and Kris McCray used blowhorns at 3:00 a.m. and woke the other fighters. McKinney thought his shoulder injury was a torn rotator cuff, leading Ortiz to believe McKinney was mentally weak and makes a point of pushing him harder. After an MRI, the doctor wrongly diagnoses the injury as just a bone contusion, therefore painful, but not serious. Kyle Noke defeated Clayton McKinney by submission (triangle choke) at 2:44 of the first round. A visibly frustrated McKinney walked away in disappointment, but was called back by Ortiz to immediately practice escaping triangle chokes. Attempting to boost the morale of McKinney and his team-mates, Ortiz reminded him that he could still win a wildcard slot. Episode 3: A Lotta Heart White called out Chris Camozzi telling him that what he thought was just a minor tooth ache, was actually a broken jaw. Because of this injury, Camozzi was sent home and Seth Baczynski replaced him. Team Liddell chose Brad Tavares to fight James Hammortree. Tensions boiled between Jamie Yager and Nick Ring during the training session with Yager claiming that the Canadian was coming on strong with kicks. He then called Ring a bitch, angering him. Brad Tavares defeated James Hammortree by unanimous decision after three rounds. Episode 4: Clown Box Nick Ring confronted Yager for cheering for his friend Brad Tavares during his fight with James Hammortree, despite Tavares being a member of the opposing team. Team Liddell chose Attonito to fight Uscola. Tensions rose when Uscola accused Yager of stealing his clothes. Rich Attonito defeated Kyacey Uscola by disqualification (illegal knee) at 3:36 of the first round. After a dominating first few minutes by Attonito, Uscola began to come back, but then appeared to land an illegal knee to the head of a grounded Attonito. A flattened out Attonito appeared to be unable to continue and was ruled the winner .... Discover the Clayton Mckinney popular books. Find the top 100 most popular Clayton Mckinney books.
