Looks like this is back on track.  Now instead of random Flyweights gunning for a chance for Mighty Mouses strap, they will be other champions from other organizations.  This is a better idea than before. 

It still just goes to show how dominant MM is.


I'm still hoping after this is over (which is in December, jesus) and Cruz beats Faber again, we will see Johnson vs Cruz II.

This is a much better idea, Joe Benavidez and Henry Cejudo will be the coaches. Tim Elliot deserves to be back in the UFC!

This is excellent.  I hope guys like Rany Saadeh and Hiromasa Ogikubo are a part of this, as well as Alexandre Pantoja.  Those three are amazing flyweight fighters.

@GreenHornet:

I'd like to see Hiromasa Ogikubo and Alexandre Pantoja on the show as well, plus I'd also like to see Tim Elliott, Yuki Motoya, and Adam Antolin on the show as well. Louis Gaudinot is the CFFC champion. He might end up being the first person (I believe) to be selected for the TUF house twice.

It's unfortunate, but I'd imagine Magomed Bibulatov and Kairat Akhmetov are probably going to be untouchable unless the UFC wants to overpay to get them out of their contracts.

Also, I said this before TUF 20, but it'd be nice if these fights were three rounds and not considered just exhibition bouts.

@unbeknownst  I don't know if Motoya will be able go to be honest, as I am not sure what his contract status with RIZIN is.

Bibulatov is ignoring WSOF to work for Akhmat so I doubt they're paying him that much.

@PilloryChoke:
WSOF might not be paying Bibulatov very much, but his contract is with WSOF, so the UFC would have to over pay WSOF to buy his contract from them to have him compete on a reality show. Unfortunately, it might be too much to hope for, for a non-English speaking fighter.

@SlongKong:
The reason Myles Jury was brought back for season 15 was because he got injured in the first episode of season 13.

Norman Paraisy was just on this season of TUF after being on season 11 back in the day. Nordine Taleb was on TUF Nations and TUF 19...and lost his first fight on both...but is 4-1 in the actual UFC now.

I gotta think Alexandre Pantoja and Tim Elliott are the co-favorites to make the final. Adam Antolin is my dark horse.
