Should be good.

I hope they don't do like they did in TUF Brazil 2 and bring back the stupid-ass challenges.

My guess is they did that in the Brazilian show to add some more shameless product placement and don't pull that **** on the other TUF productions.

They're just going to do a TUF so they can build up what they think will be hype for the Australian UFC show in December.

@Anik, I know you think you're the most intelligent being on the face of the planet but I think you can give him some credit that he has a business plan behind this and he knows a thing or two more than you about running a multi-million $$$ fight promotion.

They probably see a thing or two that you don't behind this move.

I think an entirely Canadian TUF would have been fine but putting them against Australia is just odd. The last two vs TUF's were US vs UK and UK vs Australia, both notable rivalries. This makes zero sense.

I agree with whoever said Korea vs Japan. Akiyama vs Stun Gun would be cool plus it's a pretty interesting fight. 

As far as TUF's go, I'll be pointlessly waiting for UK vs Republic of Ireland for quite some time. McGregor vs Parke. It will never happen but it would be awesome.

I'd have to agree. There is zero animosity, or history of rivalry between us and the Kangaroos.

well in that case you've got a few months to stir up some racial tension somehow Jitz.

I think it might not be as dramatic as the producers hope.
I can imagine lots of footages of team canada being really nice then cutting to a member of team aus saying "he's a top bloke".

If they had to another Aus series so soon, a Aus vs NZ series would've made more sense. Could've played up the Anzacs as the angle for it.

If they were going to do country vs country then I have to agree with Grizzly that Japan vs Korea would by far be the best, especially for LW and lower. They arent hostile towards each other but they also arent exactly friendly, plus one of the deepest pools of lighter weight talent

I don't think it has anything to do with animosity whatsoever. They're going to do more Canada and Australia cards so they need more fighters from those countries that people know. It's as simple as that.

There's a limit to how many times you can put GSP and MacDonald on the Canada cards without people starting to complain about their home court advantage on every card, but on the other hand it's not easy to have a card in Canada and not maximize earnings with GSP headlining.

As for the Australia cards, you said it, they have a hard time finding them, so they need a couple more.

They're in no rush for TUF Mexico/Russia because they haven't got a card setup there yet and they've got enough Russian fighters and any Latino will do for Mexico to go along with Velasquez and Perez just like they treat Europe and Asia as one country too.

Having said that I would love a TUF Japan vs. South Korea. You could get more talent in the bantamweight and flyweight divisions and they have that animosity you were all so concerned about.

I definitely understand wanting to scout talent and foster interest in canada and australia, i just hope they don't try to play up the country rivalries, because there really isn't any rivalry between these two nations.

Canada-Russia would be ******* awesome.  I wish they'd done that.  There's more talent in Russia, and more history between Canada and Russia.
