The records look a bit better on paper than season 2. I watched the first 2-3 episodes of that and gave up, can't see me following this season really.

The talent scouts for this show are horrible. They really have no idea what they're doing. They're not familiar with the fighters outside of Mexico and even then their scouting in Mexico isn't that good.
I've been covering the Latin American MMA scene for a couple of years now and there's much better talent down there than what the UFC is getting due to their talent scouts not being that good.

I wouldn't be surprised but maybe some of the guys you're talking about simply don't wanna do TUF?

Pretty decent cast. Only seen a couple of the guys fight (Bravo & Puelles). I've had a quick analysis of their records and opponent strength, and ranked them all in the table below. All just my opinion.

No, believe me, the guys I'm talking about are dying to be on TUF and fight in the UFC because they either auditioned, but weren't picked because the talent scouts have no idea what they're doing or because they know the fighters and have preference.
Believe me, I know a ton of fighters, promoters, athletic commissioners and coaches and they want their fighters to make it to the UFC because they recognize it's the biggest stage in the sport and much bigger pay grade.
Also the problem with a lot of these fighters is that foreign companies such as ONE, WSOF, etc. aren't interested in them as it would cost them a lot to fly them out to fight for them and/or they're not familiar with them due to lack of exposure.
I've been trying to get a ton of guys fights around the world, but none of the promoters really have a budget to book them.
