Opinion: Why The Ultimate Fighter No Longer Pays Well

02 Oct 2008 13:50:53 PDT

Written by Michaelthebox
The dirty secret of TUF is that the UFC continues to devalue the worth of TUF exposure every season. The first three seasons were pure gold in terms of exposure: a new concept that drew big audiences, characters that felt fresh and original, and a weak UFC roster that gave ample opportuniti...

As for Jackson, he was made for TUF. Tito Ortiz, Chuck Liddell, and Randy Couture are three of the biggest draws in the history of mixed martial arts. Jackson has the fighting ability and charisma to join them as the fourth biggest but he just needs to get the exposure. I've felt for awhile that t...

Opinion: The Ultimate Fighter: Season 6, Episode 6

25 Oct 2007 15:10:18 PDT

By Matt Serra UFC Welterweight champion Ben Saunders I definitely liked from the get go. He’s not your typical, cookie cutter fighter. He reminded me a little bit of Luke Cummo in that sense, he’s a smart guy just trying to be who he is, no tough guy act about being in this sport.

Written by Jesse Holland
As if BJ wasn’t feeling bad already Dana then hits him below the belt, and I mean way below by warning him not to become this season’s Ken Shamrock. Ouch. Stay tuned next week as we start the quarterfinals, BJ and Jens get hot and bothered, and two eliminated fighters duke it out in the backyard.

Normally there are varying opinions on how to best evaluate the progress of a specific body of work, but in the case of The Ultimate Fighter, I think the merits are clearly determined by the quality (or lack thereof) from the weekly fights. Or is it?
