## Mixed martial arts career
### The Ultimate Fighter

During The Ultimate Fighter 3 Hutcherson trained under Ken Shamrock's team. He kicked off a good relationship with Kendall Grove, forming "Team Dagger", although they were in different teams.
After losing the fight with Rory Singer he stated
   “You always end up learning from a loss. I had never gone into any of my prior fights taking things so personally. I was in the position of living out a dream. I have been watching the UFC ever since I was a kid. I finally had the chance to get inside the Octagon. That really got to me on an emotional level.”
After the TUF show, he trained with Kendall Grove in the Xtreme Couture Camp for two years.
