“The Ultimate Fighter 15″ doesn’t even start for another eight days, yet the controversy surrounding the reality show has already hit a fever pitch.

While opposing coaches and arch enemies Dominick Cruz and Urijah Faber (Pictured) can’t seem to get enough of each other on Twitter, that drama is nothing in comparison to the buzz contestant Dakota Cochrane generated when he revealed he used to perform in gay porn back in the day.

This should be an interesting season for TUF, as the long-running series makes its way to FX after 14 successful editions on Spike TV. Showcasing live elimination fights should provide a nice boost for the show.

FX kicks things off with a two-and-a-half-hour premiere on March 9th at 9PM ET/PT.

Here’s a look at the “Evolution” commercial that has recently hit the airwaves.
