Anyone catch the ultimate fighter tonight?

Best season yet IMO looks sick. Love the new format too, Blackzillians all the way! Love seeing the ufc stars of both teams getting some camera time too

the intensity of the rivalry is pretty cool, would just love to see an all out brawl break loose post fight.

can't stand the club owners, they look like angry nerds that got beat up at school and bought a gym to address their issues.

How so? Not being a smart arse just haven't looked too much into it, most articles seem to say it's guaranteed money for the fighters

If a fighter has between 1 and 5 fights in the ufc the now get $2500 dollars in sponsors money. Instead of making their own money from sponsors.
Fighters aren't allowed to wear anything other then ufc uniform with reebok on it in the fights or at ufc events.
Basically the ufc have taken a lot of money out of the majority of fighters pockets. But I have no doubt the Dana White will say something along the lines of "it's good for fighters and f**k you if you don't believe me.

I'm not opposed to the idea....

Because fighters notoriously get ripped off from sponsors especially early on...

So this is guaranteed money for fighters.

But they need to compensate them better or ease up on the restrictions...

Maybe say they HAVE to wear rebok but theres 2 predetermined spots on the fight shorts where you can add your own sponsor.

I agree, as long as its not a rival apparel company I don't see why it's such a problem. Dana also said he wants to get rid of banners, don't understand why the banners also have to go.

Whittaker annihilated Tavares! Was awesome stuff. I agree his ceiling is quite high.

Mark Hunt got what was coming for him. You can only go so long by just scraping through (weigh ins). Imagine if he had won the title and that was Velasquez he came up against.
