Local Fighter Earns Shot on Spike TV's "The Ultimate Fighter"
Centreville resident Dustin Pague will star in the next season of Spike's "The Ultimate Fighter" reality show.
One day Dustin Pague and Chris Merritt, high school pals from Harrisburg Pa., discovered a DVD at the video store of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Like most kids, Dustin and Chris started dreaming. They made plans to own a gym in the future—Pague would compete in mixed martial arts, and Merritt would coach him all the way to the biggest fighting stage in the world, the UFC. Now living in Centreville, Pague is working hard to make his childhood dream come true. On Wednesday at 9 p.m. on Spike TV, The Ultimate Fighter debuts its 14th season with a two-hour premiere. Pague and 31 other fighting hopefuls will compete to earn 16 spots in the Ultimate Fighter house in Las Vegas and a chance to earn a six-figure contract with the UFC…
