The eighth episode of The Ultimate Fighter 19: Team Edgar vs. Team Penn featured the coaches’ challenge and the final preliminary-round middleweight bout between Team Penn’s Mike King and Team Edgar’s Eddie Gordon. The Coaches’ Challenge The coaches’ challenge consisted of a kayak race. Coach Frankie Edgar immediately felt he was at a disadvantage because BJ Penn is from Hawaii. “How we pick watersports when this dude visits his buddy down the street on a kayak,” questioned Edgar when he realized that the challenge was a kayak race. $10,000 cash was on the line for the coaches and $1,500 for each of the winning coach’s team members.
