Would anybody else enjoy another TUF like season 4?

Where all the cast members are UFC vets who aren't champion level yet?

seems pointless to take them away from their lives to live in the tuf house for that long

I think it could be cool, depending on what weight classes and fighters they choose.

TUF is a bad show, let's face it. It's stale, it's annoying and it's boring. The sole purpose for TUF in my opinion is to introduce the public to new fighters. Now that purpose gets lost when you're sticking a bunch of fighters that people (including me) already know.

If they did a season with veteran and up and coming heavyweights, where the winner gets a title shot, I would be OK with that.  If they got some decent fighters on there, it would be pretty interesting.  

I'm sure there are actually a lot of veterans who would jump at the chance to be involved, i.e. Tim Sylvia, Pedro Rizzo, etc.  IF they got 32 decent heavyweights together in a tournament, the winner would be deserving of a shot in this weak heavyweight climate.  

I mean, after Velasquez, there aren't a whole lot of obvious challengers.

I wouldn't mind it at all.  There's been talk that it could be happening actually, so feel free to get your hopes up rayallen0!   

If they even do Heavyweight at all, I doubt they'll get 32 UFC level Heavyweight guys especially if they get a big name like a Tim Sylvia or a Pedro Rizzo since there's always the chance they could lose in the Fight-In Round, thus a big name goes out early, (pretty much the exact same reason they didn't do a Fight-In-Round for TUF 10, to prevent the chance of Kimbo Slice from going early and losing out on ratings).  

More likely, it'd just be 16 guys going into the house from the start like they did the last time they did UFC vets.  But yeah, if they could actually get 16 good HWs, why not?

yeah that would be pretty cool. I'm sure alot of the old vets would want in (Sylvia, Arlovski, Rizzo, Severn, etc...) 

wouldn't it be ******* amazing if Fedor went on the show? 

Maybe even a show where they get fighters with big names but not in the UFC (ala Josh Barnett, Cole Konrad, Sergei Kharitonov, Fedor Emelianenko, Andrei Arlovski, Todd Duffee, Thiago Santos, Jeff Monson, Brett Rogers, Tim Sylvia, Eric Prindle, Pedro Rizzo, Aleksander Emelianenko, Neil Grove, Bobby Lashley, Damian Grabowski)


I though Forrest/Bonnar coaching could put the show back on track but Dana shot that down. Last season was good but I don't think there is another fighter like Bisping who can get the whole country to hate him.
