TUF 17 Discussion!

Come here for all the conversation of this seasons Ultimate Fighter which debuts tonight. 

UFC is delivering big with the new season of The Ultimate Fighter by making light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and challenger Chael Sonnen the head coaches. 


Jones and Sonnen are set to square off for the light heavyweight championship on April 27, so this is the perfect forum for these two stars to build their fight and help turn the participants on the show into names that fans know. 

The face of MMA, The People's Champion, the man with the golden tongue, the master of the power double, the sexiest man alive, the bad guy, the icon, the legend....

Makes his long awaited appearance on The Ultimate Fighter TONIGHT at 8PM EST on FX. Weeks of epic Sonnen-isms to laugh hysterically at and hold us over until it all comes to a head at UFC 159 for a title showdown with Jon Jones.

"When you're the best in the world, they don't call you a great fighter. They call you Chael Sonnen. Beat me....if you can." - Chael Sonnen



My pick to win the whole thing: Tor Troeng

This is the first season I'm excited for since Bisping/Mayhem.

I dont think this season will be as focused on the coach as we are told to believe. Unless they are the complete opposite rom how they act towards each other right now. I still will say ****ping/Miller, and Rampage/Rashad were the best seasons as far as coaching beef goes. Sonnen and Bones have a made up, fake type of beef. ****ping/Miller, and Rampage/Rashad actually hated each other lol

I'm sure there will be a bit of **** talking. But I'm just excited to see the talent. This is a talent filled season and I think Tor Troeng is gonna kill it.

Yea i will watch it to see the talent, and ****

Chael should make this season pretty interesting.

Here we go

Here we go!! TUF 17 starts now!

I like this friends and family thing. Hopefully it motivates these guys a little more

Chael Sonnen looks pretty damn big! 

I'm so excited to see these prelim fights tonight. The talent on this season is awesome .. and again, I am ready to see Tor Troeng make his mark on the TUF gym. 

Good first fight

Adam Cella gets into the house with a slick 1st round armbar. 

jake heun just got tapped out.  I thought he had a decent chance

Two older guys? I'm going with zac

This season with the families and friends of all the fighters outside of the cage makes the guys want it so much more. Its a welcome addition! 

I think Nik Fekete wins this one, from what I have seen of him he has a fairly good punching game, with 1 loss via submission Rich Hale. No shame in that! 

I was slightly ******* wrong. Zak Cummings with a QUICK KO over Nik Fekete. 

Wow, what was that like 5 seconds?  Zak Cummings is in the house.
