I don't mind inexperienced fighters but I hope the UFC makes sure that they're all relatively inexperienced this time.

For the love of God! Please Dana White, don't have another Mac Danzig TUF season and have 15 guys with single-digit fights compete with one guy with 20+ fights and international experience!

Last season was so one-sided it was a joke!

KidDynamite SF

yea thats true. and iv heard some of these guys whos like had only one fight trains with some well known pros.

i mean UFC im sure can get guys with better stats but im sure thers a reason for them picking guys with low stats to i think thats the point of the show. but they need to stop it from getting one sided with some guy that has 5 times the experience then everyone els

cdtcpl

I wonder if any of these guys have other experience? Like maybe JJ competitions or something that helped them get in with their 1 fight?

alot of them have some wrestling.

"Other experience that Dollaway attains can be found in his wrestling background. He is a former high school state champion, junior college national champion, and a 2005 collegiate All-American during his time at ASU."

and Prince Mclean and 2 others, out of "top Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school, Team Jorge Gurgel." so i dont know how they each are at JJ but they train in a good school for it you know

Anyone else notice how they called Rampage the "heavyweight champion"?

Isn't Gurgel bad enough? Now we have to deal with the fighters he trains too. And one of them is injury prone just like, Gurgel and Manny from the season before last.

so what i see here is some guys with bad records, two of whom train at gurgel's gym. i guess we can expect them to be as well rounded as gurgel and franklin?
is the riggs dude relate to joe riggs? that could be amusing, but from the article it sounds doubtful.

I agree about the injury prone fighters. I think that if an injury caused 3 out of 5 of your losses, you should not be on this show. i KNOW there are better people out there than get picked for the show.

This show seems to have reached it's high point in the first season and only had a shimmer of hope in "the comeback" season- due largely to having already seasoned fighters.
