Josh Haynes should be corrected because his last fight was for IFO (if you don't count celebrity bull riding ).

Definitely a good breakdown. What's funny to me is that a lot of people talk trash about TUF fighters not realizing that many of these guys come out of very good, well established camps like MFS, The Pit, etc.. It's not like they were just working at Walmart one day and decided to try out for a t.v. show never having trained. Everybody has got to start somewhere.

I think its only that those guys are around alot longer, maybe some of the later season fighters will get better in time too

[FirsttoFight]

Interesting read and numbers....

hmmm they have alot of talent comming from the first two seasons...
but im not really impressed with season 6, I dont know, I hope they prove me wrong once the seasons over...

Seems to be a trend that every season half the fighters stay in the UFC and half go the other way, overall 43 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.

very nice breakdown

mmm theres breakfast comming back makes me sick that the ufc calls itsself the mecca of mma when the use ppl that couldent cut it on a reality tv show sick-o-ning

[Hang Loose]

First of all...Great job on the research!!!! As a casual TUF watcher, I had no clue at all that so many contestants actually remain with the UFC. I'm impressed.

[roncon]

As far as a farm system, it appears that TUF is pretty good. I was wondering how much cosmetic/TV personality fits into the try outs. Judging from the list, not that much. It must be pretty damn tough these days to break into the UFC from other orgs. Anyone want to do a break down of that?
