The Ultimate Fighter 10 kicked off the second season of heavyweights with the original winner of the inaugural heavyweight season Rashad Evans taking over the reins as a coach for one of the teams against competing coach Quinton Jackson.

Team Rashad’s assistant coaches are Evans’ real-life coach Greg Jackson, wrestling coach Mike Van Arsdale, and boxing coach Trevor Whitman.

Team Jackson’s assistant coaches include his training partners Tiki Ghoson, and Hector Ramirez.

At the coin toss Rashad Evans chose to pick first instead of picking the first two fights and took Tim McSweeny first while Rampage took Kimbo Slice second overall, and in the end the teams were divided as follows.

In the first fight of the new season Jackson chooses Abe Wagner to take on Jon Madsen in a choice that turns out to be a big mistake.

Madsen, who trains with Robbie Lawler and Matt Hughes uses his superior wrestling to take the fight to the ground and grind out two rounds of ground-and-pound to bloody his opponent in what is surely one of the bloodiest bouts in TUF history. Madsen takes the two-round decision and moves on to the next round.

Jackson becomes frustrated with Wagner who is either unable or unwilling to listen to his corner instructions and walks out of the room with about thirty seconds to go in the fight.

Next week, more trash-talking, Jackson chooses fight number two, even more heated trash-talking.
