TUF 19 - Who Tried Out?

 
Last edited:
Shaun Asher(7-1) at least tried out. I don't think he made it though because I just watched him fight Saturday night in a local promotion. His only loss is to Jason Butcher in Bellator. I know he can fight at 185 or 205 so I'm not sure which he tried for.
 
Based on Twitter I also believe Lyman Good made the house as well

This is what Im hoping, Bosse or Ropati!

So does anyone know when this season starts airing? I hope it's not far away, it's gonna be tough to avoid major spoilers otherwise. I don't mind knowing the initial 32 man cast, but I'd rather go into episode 1 of the show not knowing who wins every single qualifying fight!

Season will probably begin airing towards end of January

Well, based on Twitter, those are damn good. Go fishing on twitter, I'm pretty sure I know who gets the KO of the Season. PM me if you want to know, I'm 90% sure this guy got the KOTS, if it wasn't KO it was fight of the season, but given the guy, it's KO.

I also have an idea for a LHW finalist, which is based off of nothing but a few words that COULD mean anything, or a whole lot.

Bosse or Ropati really in the cast members?

Both are rumoured but not confirmed. IIRC, Bosse had a fight lined up near the end of the year from which he dropped out towards the end of the summer - he stated he wanted to take the rest of the year off. It was assumed it was injury-related, but I'm hoping it's true that he's on TUF 19. Bosse DEFINITELY tried out at 205lbs before, and the UFC cut that weight-class from the running but apparently were very impressed with Bosse and wanted to do something with him in the future.

So I reckon Steve's involved. Ropati I'm less sure about but I'm hoping so, those two would be awesome additions to the cast.
 
Can anyone confirm if Lyman Good made at least the starting cast?

I would say, yes, he definitely made the initial 32man cast. After that, I don't wanna know! I like at least being surprised by some of the fights to get in the house....from the initial list of fighters, it seems like the majority haven't fought or had a fight scheduled, since tryouts. So they're doing a decent job of keeping the preliminary round of fights a surprise...MMASun said there's a few big upsets during that round of fights, so we might see a few guys like Good get eliminated in episode 1! Wait and see.

Any idea when the season will start?

Yeah that's ridiculously long. Maybe the goal is to return it back to the usual early December/early June finale date? I dunno.

TUF Nations kicks off in January, they obviously don't want to have 2 seasons running simultaneously after The Smashes/TUF 16. I, and a few others, simply stopped watching TUF 16 after a few episodes and The Smashes wasn't given much attention in terms of publicity etc.
 
Jason Coles is usually great with the cast and he gave me a list of who he believes made it if anyone would like to see?
 
Keep in mind this isn't the full cast but he says the majority of the ones listed are in the house

Lyman Good,
Tim Williams,
Ian Stephens,
Cathal Pendered,
Chris Fields,
Mats Nilsson,
Hector Urbina,
Dan Spohn,
Corey Anderson,
Dheigo Lima
Eddie Gordon,
Mike King,
Matt Van Buren,
Anton Berzin,
Josh Stansbury,
Elijah Garshnick and
Matt Masterson
