TUF 25 Coaches/Rumored Roster

Confirmed via several sources that Cody Garbrandt will coach against TJ Dillashaw. TUF 25 is also rumored to be doing an "all-stars" season this year, with all being former contestants. It is also speculated it will be contested at welter weight. The rumored lineup as follows:

• Johnny Nunez (6-1, TUF 22)
• Dominic Waters (9-5, TUF 16)
• Jesse Taylor (30-15, TUF 7)
• Joe Stevenson (33-16, TUF 2)
• Gilbert Smith (12-6, TUF 17)
• Juian Lane (11-6-1, TUF 16)
• Eddie Gordon (8-4, TUF 19)
• Dhiego Lima (10-4, TUF 19)
• Kajan Johnson (21-12-1, TUF Nations)
• James Krause (23-7, TUF 15)

• Ramsey Nijem (9-6, TUF 13)
• Hayder Hassan (6-3, TUF 21)
• Tom Gallichio (19-9, TUF 22)

Obviously take this all with a grain of salt. Since there are 23 names listed, it seems as if the 32 entry format will take place as well potentially, leaving 9 more slots open. Who would you like to see back?

the 6 figure contract is like 100 000 for 5 fight? around 20K per fight?

The value of the contract has changed over the years though the original I believe was a 3 year 9 fight contract that started at 12/12 then 16/16 and finally 22/22 the overall value ranging from 150k to 300k for those who complete the contract. Though UFC has the option of course to cut you after 4 fights if you aren't performing like Gordon and Smith.

From what I understood, it was 100 k a year for 3 years unless you performed poorly. If you notice the fights of the early TUF winners were all easier fights.

Jason Jackson has picked up a couple of good wins since the show. Wouldn't mind seeing him back on.

Filming started today. I will try to do some research on the rosters.
