| http://mmajunkie.com/news/22203/the-ultimate-fighter-13-eliminates-elimination-round-initial-cast-down-to-14.mmaWhile the past three seasons have featured an initial elimination round of fights, "The Ultimate Fighter 13" will kick off with just 14 cast members, MMAjunkie.com ( www.mmajunkie.com) today confirmed with sources close to the reality show. Although initially expected to feature both welterweight and middleweight fighters, producers recently chose to go with a cast of all 170-pounders this season. It's not clear why the UFC and Spike TV nixed the elimination round for "TUF 13." However, in recent seasons, some notable fighters who appeared early favorites never made the cast after losing an elimination-round fight. Additionally, some fighters who won and qualified for the cast surrendered their spots when injuries from those opening bouts left them unable to continue in the tournament. | |

| They pay the elimination round cats for the fight. No need for that with Lesnar on the table. They don't need the early bouts as a hook. | |

Could be why they cut out the MW from this season too? | |

Yeah I agree, I liked seeing a series of fights on the first 1 or 2 episodes. Oh well, as long as the fights are good I can live with it. | |
