Damn. Haven't watched TUF in years. This is a huge opportunity for the young man. With Apex fights being about 50% of UFC events, TUF guys have a very legit chance to at least make the roster, even if they don't win. Hope the kid is exciting.

For those, including me, who haven't seen him. Here's one in PFL. Good promotion and talent.

Of his six wins, three by KO/TKO, three by decision. If nothing else, he'll be getting great stand-up coaching from either coach and have visibility. Being with Jackson Wink also helps.

I don’t think I’ve watched TUF since former Belle Plaine wrestler Steve Carl was on there. Took a tough loss to Kamaru Usman before he went on to win the belt and dominate the division for awhile.

TUF TV show, most of the fans bitch about how they don't care anymore and how it's not as good as it used to be. But it still is making money. So Dana White will contintue to do it. But the issue is the new generation has so many prospects and it is hard enough to make the UFC that 90% of the guys on the show will never make a career in the UFC. But you never know.

I really have enjoyed watching some of certain seasons of TUF, but it is now to the point where it is fighters are spoiled in a great mansion and great food, and great training. every season there is a emotional story for a certain fighter.

I probably haven't watched in about a decade. What's crazy is that we are just now entering a period where fighters may have trained multi-discipline MMA since a young age.
