The Ultimate Fight 17 is set to air on FX starting on January 22nd with a 2 hour premiere. The coaches are none other than Chael Sonnen and Bones Jones. They have two dozen middleweights trying to fight to get into the house. I have been patiently waiting for the list to come out on who has made it finally I found one. On it has Jimmy Quinlan from Methuen Mass. Congrats to you Jimmy!! For those of you who aren't familiar with Jimmy he has an undefeated record of 3-0. He trains with Mass BJJ and has one two out of his three fights via submission. Make sure to look for him when the show starts and see how nasty his ground game is. Can't wait for this one. Full fighter list is found after the break courtesy of MMAJunkie.com. Good luck to you Jimmy and congratulations on the opportunity.
