In a recent interview with Dana White he indicated that Kang was supposed to be on Season 1 of TUF.

Do you guys think he would have walked away with it all?

Q: You were complimentary toward Denis Kang during the UFC 75 conference call, yet you stopped short of calling him one of Pride's major stars. Why is it that you feel he falls short of such a designation?

DW: I like Denis Kang. I think Denis Kang is a good fighter. To call Denis Kang one of the biggest stars in MMA? No, I wouldn't. I know Denis Kang has made a great living fighting over in Korea because he's (half) Korean. He's made a very good living fighting over there.

Denis Kang was supposed to be on Season 1 of The Ultimate Fighter but he ended up getting a good deal over in Korea. This is a guy we were looking at to be on season one of The Ultimate Fighter, I wouldn't call him one of the major superstars in MMA or one of the major superstars from Pride.

Old news and yea he would've whooped the season 1 contestants.

[badblood2k]

andy wang would join again

[stevenmv5]

Denis Kang would have won TUF 1.

So was Fitch. Imagine Diego, Koscheck, Fitch, Kang, Leben, Swick at 185, Quarry, Florian, and Karalexis all in one weight class on one season.

[The_Blues]

gilbert melendez was supposed to be on one of them as well

[seawolfing]

Kang v Sanchez would have been perfect

[White Snake]

They should have Kang vs Sanchez at 185 to see what couldve been.

[Buckner1986]

That seaon would have been stacked. Kang would have beaten Diego IMO.
