Spike TV confirms details of Oct. 20, Oct. 27 "TUF: U.S. vs. U.K." tryout dates

Quote:
Spike TV today confirmed open tryout dates for the upcoming ninth season of "The Ultimate Fighter," which begins filming in January 2009.

"The Ultimate Fighter: U.S. vs. U.K.," which will feature middleweight and welterweight fighters, will look to pull talent from an Oct. 20 tryout in London, England, and an Oct. 27 date in Rosemont, Ill., near Chicago.

Like the latest two seasons of the show, 32 fighters will be selected for the "U.S. vs. U.K." edition, and all fighters must first win an elimination-bout to make it onto the official cast.

Hey that sound really cool didn't know that. Whoever came up with that idea is a genius. I don't know much about MMA fighters in the UK, but I like what I see so far. Ross Pointon and Bisping were beasts. I really liked Pointon even though he wasn't too good, but he has a good mindset.

Already looking forward to next season even if it hasn't started yet.

I think this would be hard for UFC to put this together getting all these UK guys Visas or passports then bringing them here.

Its actually not that hard really. Its not like they need to obtain extended work Visa's since they aren't coming over here for permanent employment, residence etc. And getting a passport is simple stuff.

True but they have close to a year and I'm sure they've been planning on all the contingencies. Hell they probably pay a guy 60k a year to do crap like that for them.

Where was the UFC when I was job hunting????
