Ariel trying to fish for Punk saying he's going to get into MMA. LOL. Not happening bro. A little bit of Muay Thai doesn't equal a pro MMA career.

Nah brah, all you need is for CM Punk to stretch out 3 cans and have his good friend Chael say he can beat any one of the top 10. These fans will believe anything.

--This is not a complete list, but among those trying out for the next season of Ultimate Fighter were Shayna Baszler, Tara LaRosa, Raquel Pennington, Roxanne Modafferi, Tonya Evinger, Allanna Jones, Kim Couture, Colleen Schneider and Tyra Parker. Shannon Knapp of Invicta told all her fighters that they should try out if they want to and anyone under contract could do so.

So there's a chance that a good portion of the female TUF contestants will be quite a bit more experienced than the 2 coaches, lol

And that girl in the yellow, god dayum.

I hadn't even thought of that. Hell, Baszler has more fights than Rousey and Zingano put together. Tara LaRosa is ranked #2 all-time behind Mega Megu in womens mma. Fuckin hilarious.

I remember one time on Twitter (it was super late like 3 a.m.) Tara LaRosa was talking about how her ex beat her. So we had a heart to heart about relationship over PM's. She's a cool person. Ridiculous grappler too. Her and one of my old BJJ coaches know each other. They know each other because they both got their purple belts from Royce.

Ya, I remember that JLau vs Pulver and it being weird he was on the show. Both those coaches had a lot of fights and most of the contestants were young, and still some of them didn't want to be on Jens' team cuz they saw him as one dimensional.

Oh right, the Hughes vs Serra season had WWs.

Mac Danzig won that season.

At Welterweight.

LOL.

TUF 6 is when the show became a haven for scrubs. Look at the winners before and after and it's no comparison. Diego, Forrest, Evans, Bisping, Diaz and then Danzig, Sadollah, Escudero, Wilks, etc.

Also Danzig was the only guy who had done anything before TUF and was a huge favorite, so ya, who the hell were those other guys in that season?

I don't know the other names you listed after Danzig.

TUF 5 was the GOAT TUF season. I would probably buy it on DVD/Blu-ray.

"Raise your hand if you want to be on my team and want nothing to do with Jens Pulver."
*everyone raises their hand*

So cold.

Escudero was cut from the UFC on two separate occasions. James Wilks retired due to injury and Jonathan Brookins asked for his release after going 1-3 post-TUF and is currently wandering the Earth looking for inspiration. I think everyone else has hung around as Fuel TV and Facebook fodder.
