[executionermma]

wtf why only 3 lightweights? so many guys will be going up? bizarre

if it's true that Colby and Tyrone will be the coachs, i'm out

 

[markys00]

this season looks good with the undefeated prospects
if woodley and colby are the judges theres no way i dont watch

EDIT

you can also add

Suman Mokhtarian 8-0
Shea O'Neill 3-0

 

[Luke Thomas Rockhold]

So many undefeated fighters will remain "undefeated" as pros after this season, but they'll have exhibition losses.

 

[Vulcan]

it's probs gonna be a featherweight season mike de la rosa is 5'4ft and fights at 135lbs

 

[whaleshark]

If they made Platinum a coach I’d watch... can’t remember what the last season I watched was

I could be wrong, but I think Sherdog finally started counting losses in the house? I might be mistaken.

it depends. most of those fights arent pro fights. even if theyre three rounds, they can still be exhibition. theres no reason to count them if theyre not pro fights, ya know

u wouldnt watch woodley vs covington??

 

[YellowBanenoo]

How the hell did those 3-0 guys get the contract?

Well, look at Jesse Taylor on Fight Finder... All his TUF 25 wins are in his pro record.

 

[Kumason]

I have seen a lot of these guys fight,it looks ok so far.I think the undefeated thing is stupid but I can see how casuals will think they are all awesome cause they are undefeated.Most of these guys have decent amateur careers.

How the hell did those 3-0 guys get the contract?

Well they really limit themselves with undefeated fighters only.Also it's not like people will fly from all over the world on their own dime to Las Vegas just to try out.You get a ton of guys from semi close coming in.They would be better off scouting these guys,picking them and flying them in.

 

[AJ Garcia]

How the hell did those 3-0 guys get the contract?

Seriously. I have a teammate that got invited to the tryouts named Jon Neal and he’s been one of the top prospects at fw so if this list is official, it’s gonna piss me off that he didn’t get in.

 

[Vulcan]

it's 32 fighters this list is only 20

 

[markys00]

Well, look at Jesse Taylor on Fight Finder... All his TUF 25 wins are in his pro record.

huh? no theyre not. they are listed separately under exhibition matches. occasionally sherdog will post fighters exhibition matches, which is fine.

although, i think the weirdest one was rashad evans, which i think at one point did include his tuf fights... at least i know ufc FOR SURE added those to his career record

 

[Thesnake101]

Seriously. I have a teammate that got invited to the tryouts named Jon Neal and he’s been one of the top prospects at fw so if this list is official, it’s gonna piss me off that he didn’t get in.

There's still 12 guys that haven't been made public, so he could be one of them.

This season looks good, will watch as a lot of those guys were on my radar. Still, I wish that they would've gone with MW and LHW instead.
