Omg shitcan TUF already
FFS. Dont make us wait through an entire TUF. Although Gaethje would be a great mouth on the show, it's done. It's done done. LIke you know if you leave a steak on the BBQ so long it turns into ash and falls between the grills done. Like 15 pints of stella done. Fuck it off for decent fights.
He said he wants to fight in October or November for sure - int with Ariel yesterday.....and said Eddie is one he would love to fight....gotta like his attitude.
Also said he would fight either Khabib or tony should one of them get a little "sniffle", lol
I saw that lol. He's a maniac.

Based on his interaction with T-Ferg, I would have to say a TUF featuring Kevin Lee might be more unbearable than TUF 25.
I think it would great TV...I just don't want him matched up against Gaethje yet. Kevin is a really cool and funny dude.

Based on those videos, I would say Jeff Mayweather would be fun on TUF. Kevin Lee, maybe, but I'm still on the fence.
Well shit I thought we might actually get a great fight without having to listen to fake bullshit. forget this TUF coaching idea. Will the UFC ever learn that shelving healthy fighters for 8 months at a time is not a good idea? Lee just fought and didn't appear to suffer any damage. Get him signed with Barbosa and please give us Justin vs Eddie without having to wait a year to see it.
November 4th at msg makes the most sense to me. Especially if its headlined by the snoozer Bisping vs GSP.
Could they do Nov 4th if they coached TUF? When is filming supposed to happen?
I think this is the female 125 TUF. They have already chose the cast so we have roughly 4 months. If they started filming on in a couple weeks I think it would be enough time. Maybe they do it on the end of the year show instead. Haven't seen medical news on Justin so no idea on his suspension length: so that could be an issue too.
Can we please cut TUF back to once a year or something?
I realize they're gonna keep milking it was long as they can but the franchise is stale as fuck.
They tried professional fight team vs. professional fight team (they botched the format and chose the barely functional Blackzillians as one of the teams but okay).
They did another Comeback season.
As of W125 they're officially out of viable new weight divisions for at least 2 or 3 years so that option's out too.
I know it's not realistic for them to can it outright but after this can they fucking pause it at least?

He has possible 6-month suspension unless otherwise cleared, but I think he could use the rest.
Agreed. Tough fight to call. Both have monster heart and can take a beating. Also both fast and loose strikers and good wrestlers.
It's an interesting matchup. Then again, most of the competition against Gaethje all seem pretty interesting.
