I watch TUF to get my weekly fill, and I know i've come on here complaining about seeing all of the TUF guys filling cards. This is for pure speculation and banter on the board.

Supposedly, this Joseph Duarte is "the next Anderson Silva of the LWT division" according to Dana...
of course, thats Dana hyping up yet another season of TUF...

TUF is one of my favorite shows. Can't wait for it to start.

I don't care if they fill up cards with ex-Tuff fighters, if they are season 1 fighters.

Man, they are really reaching into the well to assemble this cast...the only guy I recognize is Krzysztof Soszynski. He used to train at Rodrigo Munduruca's BJJ academy in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He has some game....

I hope TUF spring boards each and everyone of these guys to the next level. Anyone who has the b*lls to get into the cage deserves at least their 15 minutes of fame they have coming to them.

TUF used to give my teachers headaches due to me and my friends plotting and speaking of things like "upper-deckers" and such...
I just hope they show more training this year! and less of grown men urinating themselves in drunkenness.
I do however, like that they have got the fight-in process...

TUF has had quite a few Arizona Combat Sports guys the past 2 seasons... or maybe some of them went there afterwards... not sure.

TUF is cool and all, but I'm sick of having to wait an entire season to watch the coaches fight. I think that format has run its course. I guess they kind of need to let the heavyweight division rebuild itself for a while though.

I find it incredibly hard to get pumped up involving a fight with Frank Mir....his win against Brock sort of boosted his credibility, but I just look at his two near losses to Wes Sims (forever "B") fighter and an aging Ian Freeman and it is hard to see him as a threat to Nog. If it was a pure "grappling" bout, yes this would be a great match up....but Nog has the distinct advantage standing up that this fight won't even be close.

I don't see Mir being very in this fight...
Nog will own him at his own game...
I'm hoping some (beep) will go down during the show to make it somewhat interesting... Because i can't get pumped for Mir-Nog either...
