After tonight without a doubt TUF is a help to MMA. The so called Hardcore fans say it's bad and the fighters suck. We know now that the fighters don't suck Diego is the first TUF guy to officially break the top 10 in the world. All the TUF fighters are better than people give them credit for. So many of the "Hardcore" are not what they claim to be. A lot of you so called harcore fans do nothing but complain about UFCs success and want to see it fall flat on face. But guess what it's not going to it's getting bigger and bigger every year. Any true hardcore fan would be praising TUF and UFN for all the new talent it has brought in. Not every known fighter will stick around and not every up and comer will make it big. But it's great to see new faces with a lot of potential. I look foward to it every time it's on.

The Ultimate Finale 2 was great for MMA. Think of all the people that witnessed such awesome fights. Even the harshest of critics would have to admit that the show last night was entertaining, exciting, and a great display of skill and heart, which is exactly what people need to see in order for MMA to grow.

Props to the UFC.

Bigj383 and mannywankenobi keep telling it like it is. I alsways said that you had to let the TUF strategy play out a bit before saying it was not working. So far, its looking real good for Dana UFC and TUF

TUF is good for the sport. Anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't been watching the recent PVP or the TUF live shows.

I'm not going to spell it out for you because anyone that actually thinks TUF is bad for MMA is to retarded to understand.

Why not have a training ground for up coming fighters, instead of just allowing some of these fighters to be on the card. This will put fighters that have proven themselves in front of the people they need to, instead of posting a bunch of lies and fooling them into getting a shot and not being able to produce when they get there

its helpfull to eduacate the public on the sport but reallly does nothing to get exposure for the established fighters. i think they should hold a TUF tournament with fighters already in the UFC with the winners getting title shots and a cash prize.

TUF does not matter, it is fine that it is exposing fighters to the UFC and MMA in general. The reason i like it more though is not because it gets more fans, i dont care about that, it gets better athletes. if some guy who is a great athletewho has great potential sees this and wants to do this rather than football or boxing or something than in the end it will all even out as the competition gets better. lazy shit fighters and lame assess will be weeded out over time. the exposure may be bad at first but as better athlete become more versatile they will take over the sport and it will be great. This is only the begining. I dont know what orginization in america will be near the top but as the fighters skill levels and natural talent increases we will enter a renaissance of mma. you people just need to have faith, eventually skill will prevail and wether the UFC or any mother fuckers like it or not, skill, tallent, and athleticsm will be rewarded in the end.
