Earlier this month, he got his wish when it became official that the next season of “The Ultimate Fighter” on FX would move from a 10 p.m. ET Friday slot to 9 p.m. ET on Tuesdays. Season 17 of the show debuts in its new day and time on Jan. 22 with coaches Jon Jones and Chael Sonnen.

They’re good partners and they promised me – they said, ‘Let us try to build this Friday thing to where you’ll be happy with the numbers, and if we don’t, we’ll move you to another night.’ And they did. They kept their word. The FOX group, they’re the best people in television to work with.”
