Is TUF unfair?

It seems that having 3 fights in 6 weeks can take a toll on some people. Its good if they dominate an opponent, but when a prelim is a war, it means that you have a fighter thats pretty battered. I mean, sometimes it takes weeks to heal.

Thats why conditioning is a must BEFORE going into the show. to get your muscles, tendons and lungs ready for multiple fights. THey should take alcohol out of the show (Although i honestly thing Herman is an alchoholic and would have been in withdrawal). Is not good in the public eye to see guys drunk.

also, if kendall wins, then he should get riggs first fight.

The most they have to fight is 2 times. The finale is months after the show is shot. As for being "unfair", its an opportunity they chose to take knowing what would happen. I don't see any of the fighters whining about it.

its not unfair because people dont get in shape before the show. thats thier own fault. i do agree with you however

I think it's fair because everyone takes the same risks of getting injured and not being able to continue. Besides, every single fighter that has gotten hurt and not been able to continue the show has gotten a shot in the UFC if they had a good showing.

THe only thing about TUF that is unfair is that there are losers in the LHW semis right now.

I agree. They should be in shape going into the show. They know what they're in for. The only thing that is unfair is having losers come back and get another chance. Bringing in new guys doesn't help either. I don't see any way of that being fair.

I think bringing in new guys is more fair, or at the very least more entertaining.

Unfair? The first few UFC's they had to fight multiple times in one night. In Pride to win the tourneys the fighters have to win 2 fights in one night. TUF unfair? I don't think so.

They should stay in shape and not drink so much!
