TUF 27 Tryouts have begun and the concept is...

"Battle of the Undefeated", where undefeated fighters prospects in the Welterweight, Lightweights, and possibly Featherweight divisions fighting for a contract.  Because that is what the UFC needs the most.  More Lightweights and Welterweights when those are the most bloated divisions on a bloated roster.

Thoughts?

Especially since undefeated means jack ****.

Yes, it's all about who you fight.

next TUF season could be with 
-heavyweight
-female 145pds

or next tuff season could be with undeafeated prospect in already stacked division?

humm interesting choice...

Really want to know why UFC obsessively makes half their TUFs or more for lightweight/welterweight when those divisions are always full of talented fighters. Meanwhile flyweight gets one gimmick season, all the women's 135ers are moving up or down, Cyborg is the only full-time women's 145er in the UFC, and light heavyweight is nearly dead.

But...but...they're all undefeated this time bro (or at least they will be until the UFC counts their loss in a glorified exhibition fight on a reality TV show towards their record).

In all seriousness, TUF should have died after Season 20.  That was the last decent season of TUF, as it was a different concept (one that should have been used to crown the first men's flyweight champion, but whatever) that got people interested in a new division.  Ever since then, I could care less about anyone who fights in or wins TUF.  It's the same old **** over and over again.  Coaches that "really don't like each other (honest!)", that one fighter that no one likes, fighter that ends up becoming a dark horse in the tournament out of nowhere, stupid MTV style reality show contests that no one gives a **** about, Dana saying **** a lot, forced drama that is ****** chilling, drunken fights in the house due to the UFC stocking the house with nothing but booze, each side pulls a "hilarious prank", and the obligatory fighter with "a feel good" story that we are supposed to sympathize or try and relate to.  I swear at this point, WWE looks less scripted and contrived than what goes on this ****** waste of a time slot they call a show. 

If you follow Shawn Bitter aka @mmawizzard, on Twitter he is announcing some fighters that have made show. He says divisions will be lightweight and featherweight. The cast will start at 32, 16 apiece for each division.
