8 out of 16 fighters remain in the UFC


Seems to be a trend that every season half the fighters stay in the UFC and half go the other way, overall 42 out of 84 fighters remain in the UFC.

One other thing I notice out of every fighter on all 5 season's Rashad Evans (5-0), Michael Bisping (4-0) and Josh Koscheck (7-2) have the top 3 best records, with Koscheck having the most wins with less losses out of all the fighters.

Is scott smith really still in the UFC?

[Big Tuppy Hole]

For all the shit tUF cops they have produced some quality fighters

[U no I am right]

wow..you watch that much tv. ...

[who me]

A lot of the guys that aren't with the UFC seem to be doing good with other organizations too. They pick those guys for a reason. I think Dana said in a press conference a couple of weeks ago that the UFC has 250 guys under contract, 43 of them came through TUF.

[hohner]

Pretty cool to see it broken down like that. I'd have thought there'd be more people still with the UFC from season 4 than the rest of them but its pretty close.

[fastest_indian]

God seasons 1 and 2 really produced some good talent, some top 10 guys. Hopefully everyone can see past the fact that Forrest, Jardine, Daddy, Kos, Diego, Evans and Florian were on the show because they are legit fighters

wtf happened to corey hill?

he got hurt some kind of rib injury tear thing

i assume he'll be back whenever he's healthy

[axhand1e]

Wow, nice research... seriously.

Another good breakdown would be between actual contenders vs. gatekeepers that were kept from TUF... I guarantee the number of contenders will be a much lower number than gatekeepers.
