It's that time again! You may have read that Season 14 will be the last season of TUF on Spike. That happens to be true, but that doesn't mean we're going to take our foot off the gas for a minute. With 32 hungry fighters walking in the door and the intensity of coaches Michael Bisping and Jason "Mayhem" Miller, you can bet that we're going to go out with a bang.
The fourteenth season of TUF kicks off with a two-hour premiere on September 21 at 9/8c, and it's going to blow the roof off the joint.

Having said that, it's time to meet the 32 men who will vie to become The Ultimate Fighter.

I'm excited to see what Mayhem has up his sleeve! And you know Bisping will have his share of shit talk! We are just a couple weeks away so lets get started! There are some experienced fighters coming in and some...not so much.

bah, hope Brandao knocks this fool out.
Eventho, in reality, Bermudez is a bad matchup for Diego. Sadly, the dude has got the chin and cardio to outlast Diego.

I know Diego has some mental issues, but damn the guy grew on me during this season. Hope he goes on to win this season and works on his cardio after that.

Heh....well this may either be the best news or the worst news as one man won't be fighting to get a contract...

Akira

Anyways I believe Bedford/Gaudinot is a loser still gets signed fight.

If, and only if Bermudez can avoid the early KO, he has a really strong chance to gnp Diego out. Diego hasn't shown many if an flaws though, Bermudez's chin is gonna be spotlight in that fight.

Diego's record had me thinking as well. 13-7 isn't that impressive, especially when he hasn't exactly been facing top competition. I'm not falling for the hype train just yet. For all we know, he could be the next Sokoudjou or Houston Alexander.
