Female fighters at the "TUF 18: Rousey vs. Zingano" tryout

Okay, I've watched that TUF 18 Tryout vid now like 5x.

I guess it's the music.
 
The combo of good lighting, good music, and the elation on their faces really is a winning formula.

Are they doing eliminators for episode 1 this season?

Revelina Berto is Andre and Edson Berto's sister.
 
Thought I recognized a girl from this... eh... interview?



Poor girl. She is not really her best in front of a camera. :D

It was quite moving, up until Dodson cracks me up with "Look at these women! I hate them all! They're all taller than me!!" :)
 
I'm more excited about this season than tuf 17 tbh.
I'd be happy if it was just women based in the talent they have
 
Jessica Pryor was a Taekwondo fighter..she won a couple of medals at Nationals...silver and a bronze I think...a good solid fighter did not make a National team USAT or AAU!

Also a amateur Pankration champion...tough girl probably won't make the house
 
Female Fighters on TUF 18 Include Invicta FC, Strikeforce Veterans

Zingano-Rousey.jpg


UFC bantamweights Ronda Rousey and Cat Zingano will have a great group of girls to work with on the Ultimate Fighter 18 assuming a recently released list lives up to the hype. Though not confirmed by officials, it looks like a number of notable female competitors will take to the cage on TUF 18 including the likes of Roxanne Modafferi, Tonya Evinger, Jessamyn Duke, and Roxanne Modafferi.

Tara LaRosa is also expected to be part of the cast though it’s been said she may not see action for age-related reasons. LaRosa is 35 years old.

The Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer was first to report the seventeen names apparently making up the women’s side of TUF 18. None of the sixteen men slated for action on the show were mentioned.

TUF 18 debuts in early September. It will air on FOX Sports 1 rather than FX as recent seasons have. Shortly after the show concludes, Rousey will defend her divisional belt against Zingano in a battle of unbeaten female fighters.

Check out the complete list below:

Shayna Baszler (15-8)
Raquel Pennington (3-3)
Colleen Schneider (4-4)
Roxanne Modafferi (15-10)
Marcia Allen (3-1)
Jessamyn Duke (2-1)
Tonya Evinger (11-6)
Valerie Letourneau (4-3)
Lia Mata’afa (0-0)
Gina Mazany (3-0)
Katie Merrill (1-1)
Peggy Morgan (2-0)
Julianna Pena (4-2)
Revelina Berto (3-1)
Bethany Marshall (4-1)
Tara LaRosa (21-3)
Ashlee Evans-Smith (1-0)

Anyone even arsed about the male cast, or have male 135lb'ers ALREADY gone out of fashion around these parts? Any names?
 
The news were leaked all the way back in Page 7 by yours truly :icon_chee
I still can't get over how every dude in that picture is in awe lmao.




btw...

Page 7!?

You're noob Sherdog browsing.

I view all threads 30 posts/page. This current page is eight to me.
 
I surf the forum on my phone more than on my PC, 30 posts would involve WAY too much rapid thumb swiping for a single page!

And wouldn't it be funny if Lia Mata'afa is the dark horse who manage to win it all?
