The Ultimate Fighter

In the first episode Cale fought John Clarke, winning by way of TKO and earning a spot in the Ultimate Fighter house. Cale was chosen by UFC light heavy weight championship number one contender and former Ultimate fighter Forrest Griffin. Cale would continue on to fight in episode seven against Patrick Shcultz after a skin disease on a contestant demanded a replacement which Schultz took. Yarbrough defeated Patrick Schultz by majority decision. There was controversy over the decision including demands from Rampage Jackson that the fight should go to a third round. This lead to a verbal argument between the coaches ending with Rampage saying he would bet his purse that his fight with Forrest would not go to decision. After verbal taunting of C.B. Dollaway from Cale, he became the number one recruit's pick to fight in the quarterfinals. C.B. defeated Cale by TKO in the first round. Cale was scheduled to fight fellow Team Griffin member Tim Credeur in The Ultimate Figher 7 finale, but the bout was canceled by the Nevada State Athletic Commission due to Credeur testing positive for Adderall, a banned prescription drug. The bout was rescheduled to be on the preliminary card of the UFC event, on July 19th. Yarbrough lost in the first round to veteran Tim Credeur by way of TKO.
