This is the worst season of TUF yet

I was gonna say by far, but Amir won without any MMA fights I believe.

I really can't see any of these guys making an impact in the UFC or outside it, they'd be out in Bellator early.

Court has this easily.

not a very good season but ive only watched 3 know so i aint the best judge, will be an interesting match though

what the fuck is this taht jsut came on , Midget Jackass>?

I agree LA. This season blows dick

McCray's striking is embarrassingly bad.

I think he has probably learned alot since the fight we just saw , just impressed how he grinded out fights in that short span

Considering they have all sucked, you must be talking greys anatomy levels of bad.

The simple fact that guy made the finals shows how bad the whole lineup was this season.

agree Krazy, the whole key was Nick RIng dropping out, they werent expecting that.

gave everybody a shot IMO

McKray looked better tonight IMO. He gassed again but he's fought to much throughout the show.

Jamie Yager is a pussy.

The early seasons of TUF produced guys that with a few years of seasoning made an impact, and Bader and Nelson are legitimate contenders, but by in large there have been few truly elite fighters to come from TUF in a long time.

Yeah, but come on..Nelson was long established as a high level HW before TuF. I heard that he asked to be on the show to get his name more publicity, otherwise it's pretty ridiculous that he was ever on the Ultimate Fighter. TuF did not produce Roy Nelson.

forrest looked like he weighed in at 250 compared to rich walking around at 215

US vs UK was the worst season imo and while Kings is right that TUF didn't produce Roy wolf still has a point about the talent level of past seasons compared to recent ones.

Ross Pearson has looked very good thus far in his UFC career. That season wasn't very good but even if only one legit fighter is produced from each show it's worth it IMO.

I got nothing bad to say about Ross he fights hard. What made the US vs UK season the worst for me is it seemed like they found some decent UK fighters and put them up against some chumps from our country. I mean how would Ross have done on the BJ vs Jens season? My guess is not very well.

I haven't seen one episode since the first one, I just cant get into it, all those commercials and "cliff hangers" are too much

Last season was worse. This season started at the peak then went low and crawled its way to mediocrity. I think the show will produce a few UFC guys with a chance to compete, at least Cort, who looks good now, and Tavares who also looks good but is still real raw.

Ten to one everyone on this show drops to WW and spends 2 years fighting on prelims until they end up cut and fighting in whatever new upstart six month promotion is filling the ImpactFC/Shine fights role at that point.

i agree that the talent hasn't been the same. They either need to do a better job casting or start holding tryouts in more areas cause there are plenty of young talented mma superstars waiting to be discovered out there.

Chris Cammozi would probably have won this thing had he not gone out with a broken jaw in the first episode.The guy could bang.

+1

its unforgivable to be that raw after almost 2 months under great coaches IMO

I think you guys are nuts, I don't think this season will even be in the bottom 3. I still see that talent in this show. Like I said let's see in 2 years how many of these guys are still around and have wins in the UFC. I think some of you will be surprised.

It's a TV show more than it's a talent search for the ufc. For the US/UK season a guy I trained with drove to chicago to tryout got a chance to grapple. Subed the guy he rolled with and the guy he subed went on to the next round of auditions. They aren't really there to find the best up and comers they are there to find guys they think will make good TV.
