TUF fighters are the Future?

blibbyboo · 10-05-2008, 05:32 AM

how many of you feel that the fighters that TUF has spawned will be the future of MMA?
or do you still have faith in the legends of the sport that were here before mma was mainstream?

alot of the tops fighters are from TUF but i think some of the greats will remain, like Anderson, GSP and BJ

I think its both. As proven with Griffin and Evans TUF produces some top tier fighters ready to come out rumble. However there are still the traditional ways of training and coming up in the ranks too. It really depends. I've seen at least one of this season's TUF contestants in events in Japan before.

Its all about paying your dues, coming up and putting in the work IMO.

the one thing i dont get about the tuf tournament is that even if you dont win you pretty much still get a contract
i mean look at kenny florian hes pretty much gotten further in his career than diego and diego was the one that beat him
eh i dont know
it just kinda makes the whole show pointless

You need a hobby!!! LOL

Just kidding bro, if my wednesdays weren't full as hell I'd be planted in front of my tv watching it as well. Fortunately for me I have TiVo

when your my age there isnt much to do on the weekdays.

LasciviousXXX · 10-06-2008, 08:16 PM

Well... how old are you? I'm sure you're old enough to start training yourself

Get into a good work-out routine, get some friends and just practice your grappling skills.
