The TUF 9 is now over and two new Ultimate fighters have been crowned. The US vs UK didn’t do as well in the ratings as the other seasons. If that’s the best the US has to offer, then the talent pool is very low. I mean come on that was really the best we had to offer? Knowing we were going to be fighting the guys from the UK, they could have brought in some better talent then what they did. I’m not taking away from the guys from the UK they were ready and very hungry to fight. The UK brought fighters The US team had two fighter that I saw.

The new season of TUF is almost guaranteed to bring in the ratings with Rashad Evans and Rampage Jackson as coaches. They already don’t like each other, which always make good TV. Then you have the very famous Kimbo Slice trying to enter the UFC. I think it was a great move for Dana White to bring Kimbo on the show. Kimbo got some bad press with the deal with Elite XC. I mean come on, if you are offered that kinda of money to headline fights, anyone in there right mind would take it. Kimbo now has a chance to redeem himself to all the MMA fans. Kimbo is a fighter just not a MMA fighter. He has had time to learn the sport of MMA and with Rampage or Rashad helping refining his talent, you can expect big things from Kimbo Slice. If he makes it to the final and wins the $100,000 dollar contract and becomes The Ultimate Fighter.
Here’s is a couple of video on the TUF 10. The first is a video of Rampage talking about wanting to kick Rashad’s ass. Rampage thinks Rashad talks to much and gets on his nerves. Rampage says he has no respect for Evens.
The second video is Kimbo Talking about his opportunity in the UFC and what Dana White had to say about him while he was in the Elite XC.

I am pretty psyched about the new season of TUF, I needed to see some heavyweights and the addition of Kimbo Slice is nice.
