Euro TUF?

So I was thinking ahead to what future seasons of TUF may hold and I thought that a Euro TUF might be interesting. It could be based somewhere in Europe [More then likely Wolfslair in Manchester or shoot fighters in London] and take all emerging talent from the continent and see how they fare. The winner could take on an American TUF winner or something like that. This might allow for the likes of Mariusz Pudzianowski to show what they've got [If anything]. What you guys think?

You think Mariusz Pudzianowski would be able to cut from over 300lbs to get down to 265lbs for TUF or the UFC HW division in general?

It's an interesting idea. Not sure what sort of appeal it'd have in the US, and I think it'd have to be run in conjunction with a US Version, with a finale featuring fighters from both shows taking on eachother.

I thought if they were ever having a TUF completely outside the States then it would be Europe against Rest of the World or something.

i don't know if i can take a full season of those thick british accents. the fights would be good but they only take up 20-25 minutes of the show. that means i'll be staring at my tv screen for 35 minute wondering what the hell are they saying..... j/k

The idea of "TUF International" sounds nice, but then again, the show itself would suck.
Can you imagine some japanise, russian guys and some brits in a house?

Iam not convinced that europe has much talent outisde the UK. MMA is small in most european countries.

Yeah MMA is small but its growing around Europe and something like TUF could really help spur that on. Most of the talent will probably be concentrated on the UK and Holland or something. It could see a lot of guys from K-1 and other fighting leagues come up. Bisping, Overeem, Cro-Cop and other such Euro fighters could make additions to cast and training too.
