The world has been dealing with a lot of **** lately. Hasn't been ideal. We need something like a new season of The Ultimate Fighter to help us forget about all our problems.
I think TUF 29 is going to be something really special. Like one of those moments in history that you remember where you were when you witnessed it. Like the Moon landing or TUF 28.
Do you guys know about Fight Island?
Fight Island is real.
Fight Island is a real thing.
It’s really happening
The infrastructure is being built right now on the island.
If you look at the record, there have been countless numbers of successful shows about being stranded on a ******* island: Lost, Survivor, Cast Away, Gilligan’s Island, Fantasy Island, Jurassic Park, etc.
TUF Fight Island is going to take every awesome idea from every show about a ******* island and blend them all together. Like polar bears or a smoke monster or having the contestants come to the island via plane crash.
The UFC needs stars and there's no weight class more barren in star power than the flyweight division. Like, who are these people? Are they even worth saving? Are they even people?
The truth is people don't care about flyweights. Having flawless technique and lightning-quick speed is overrated when the average adult male with no training can KO Demetrious Johnson on a good day. It’s true and you know it.
This is the perfect opportunity to make flyweight lives matter. Cejudo is retired. The title is vacant. Make TUF Fight Island be a 16-man tournament to crown the next Nicco Montaño. If this can't get people to watch flyweights, then kill the division, Dana. This is going to work. We're going to make Jordan Espinosa a household name.
The story writes itself.

I realize that you can also have 16 bantamweights on TUF Fight Island for the vacant title especially now with the success of UFC 150.
You can still have Aldo fight Yan but as the first fight of the tournament. Just give them Reebok coupons to compensate for their troubles.
Then you have the other 14 bantamweights. Among them are Aljamain Sterling, Marlon Moraes, Cody Garbrandt, Dominick Cruz, Urijah Faber, Amanda Nunes, Frankie Edgar, Pedro Munhoz, Sean O’Malley and Renan Barao.
You know what? You might as well have T.J. Dillashaw in the mix. This is ******* Fight Island. The **** is USADA going to do? You can’t have a real show without him. T.J. is the key to all of this.
Hell, maybe TUF Fight Island will be so popular that Henry Cejudo will unretire and join mid-season.
Actually, that’s exactly what’s going to happen. He’s going to text:
Hey Dana. Triple C Here.
I want in.
Take me to Fight Island.
I’ll fight for free.
