Looking back how bad was TUF 17?

[MMAProfessional]

It was cool that Gastelum was picked last or close to last? Then beat Hall who the next Anderson Silva but the way Hall beat some of those guys was ridiculous. He beat Dylan Andrews by throwing punches off his back (ended his career 18-11) Andy Enez couldn't win a fight in the UFC, literally. Adam Cella ended his career 9-10. Bubba Daniel's I had to look up but he somehow ended his career 30-10 but he was 1-2 in the UFC then lost in Bellator and the random win after TUF that I chose was this guy

Safe to say he took easy fights to make himself feel better. I will say though they should add mics to pick up the audio after people get KO'd. It makes it that much more scary. Listening to Bubba say, "What happened. I can't see" was a scary thing.

Hall’s KO of Cella was legendary. That alone makes 17 one of the more memorable seasons.

To be fair we got Gastelum and Hall out of it, two solid fighters.

I don't mean bad as not fun to watch. But looking back they bred Hall to look like Anderson Silva lol.

Now Hall is better than Anderson Silva. Full circle.

The fights were atrocious as well...

The season started off promising with nearly all of the elimination fights ending via stoppage...

But then it quickly fell off.

Nowhere near as bad as

At least we got this out of that season.

 

[Shoguns Prodigy**]

If hall had gas’ grit he would be champ at 185 without a doubt

 

[Fiddlesticks]

Chael's coaching/life advice made the season worth watching.

Did you read the TUF 17 Redraft piece we put out this week, or is this just a coincidence?
