In 2005 a reality show hit the airwaves that would change the way people looked upon the sport of Mixed Martial Arts. This show is called The Ultimate Fighter. Since then 7 more seasons have been produced, and are currently running the 8th installment.
Within these eight seasons we have seen legendary coaches Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture, Matt Hughes, Rich Franklin, Tito Ortiz, Ken Shamrock, Georges St. Pierre, B.J. Penn, Jens Pulver, Matt Serra, Forrest Griffin, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, and Frank Mir.
We have also seen a number of great fighters who have come out of the TUF program. Fighters like Forrest Griffin, Diego Sanchez, Josh Koscheck, Joe Stevenson, Rashad Evans, Michael Bisping, and Mac Danzig to name a few.
With all these great coaches and fighters, great moments are bound to come out of it. Moments like when Griffin and Bonnar fought, or when Tito and Ken started going at it, oh and who can forget when that one fighter put his semen on another fighter's sushi. Hilarious! But wait it gets better! That other fighter then eats it and has no idea! If you can't tell, i'm being sarcastic.
If you haven't watched the newest season of The Ultimate Fighter : Mir Vs. Nogueira, then you certainly are not missing out. This season has just plain fallen short of the last 7 seasons. Some of the greatest moments in TUF history have come from antics at the house, but most importantly the greatest moments have been the fights. The fights where you actually remember the fighters name, and not simply as "That One Guy." This is a FIGHT organization, not celebrity rehab, or a Kevin Smith movie. So how about next season we start from scratch, and pretend that the whole Mir Vs. Nogueira thing never happened.
Come on TUF, step your game up.
