[VroomyJeeps]

not really surprised. partial wmma + not very mainstream coaches.

 

[Better Every Day]

There has been a downward trend from show to show, with the understandable exception of what is only to be expected of Conor Mcgregor.

Thats a shame because this looks to be one of the best TUF seasons in a while for me. 1st episode was good.

 

[Tebowned]

I didn't even know it was on. Luckily there was a replay I dvr'd.

A guy I used to train with lost to Jamelle Jones(who lost). It was the worst management decision ever. He was 220lbs and I was subbing him at 145lbs.

 

[Torrid]

Unfortunate, but I enjoyed it.

 

[DetachedOrchid]

Not surprised. Least known coaches ever and 1/2 of the fighters are in the most least interesting division female straw weight.

 

[M Raid K]

Casuals don't know shit.

 

[Askafan]

Only 622K for the greatest draw in all of human history?

 

[Straightcross]

Maybe viewers now realize that even if you win the show, the UFC still doesn't give a fuck about you

 

[TrainInVain]

TUF 13 was the last time I watched. If not for Joanna, I wouldn't have tuned in.

 

[snakedafunky]

The fights looked good. I think I have watch every season for the last 5 years. I don't really see a decline for me the same as the previous seasons.

Not a must watch but I try to catch up every week when its on, I do still enjoy it.

"My name is John Smith and I'm from Little Town, Ohio and I fight out of Team MMA gym. When I was 18 my sister died..."

I know they're trying to build empathy and connection to the fighters but this doesn't work for me. I'm keen to watch the season but I hate when they revert to this style of reality TV.

 

[Fight To Win]

I caught the tail end of the premiere - the last thirty minutes - because it was so badly promoted I didn't realize it would be coming on that night. I watched the encore a few hours later but it was at like 1 AM so I doubt many others did.

 

[MrFoot]

I thought it would be on fightpass so was going to watch it there, it hasn't popped up that I can see.

 

[Dick]

Reality TV is so 2005. This show has been stale for years. The last season I enjoyed was TUF Live with Chiesa.

They need Rampage and Rashad to coach every season.....most entertaining tuf ever just based on the coaches, lol.

 

[Diavolo222]

I m watching this cause of Joanna Champion.

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

Those were good fights too. The little British chick with the knees is sexy.

 

[ArtOfDrowning]

Sad part is....it was a good episode with nice finishes.

They need new type of reality show, this is so outdated
