First season of TUF to run a three person round robin tournament format.
This should’ve been an Atomweight season, or Bantamweight season. There’s enough talent out there for 16 135lb or 105lb Women.They're inviting female featherweights to the next tuf. I assume not enough will show up though
Dandois will likely show up. Charmaine Tweet might. Besides some others like Latoya Walker and Jessy Miele I'm not sure.
Pam Sorensen said she's trying out.
They gave Roxy a second chance, i don't think there's any reason to believe they wouldn't give Cindy as well, Roxy had amateurish striking back then tooI don't see them signing Cindy even if she were to win.
That's pretty insulting to Roxy. Her striking was no where near as shitty as Cindy. Additionally, Roxy went to a better camp to improve her standup. Meanwhile, Cindy thinks she's perfect the way she is.They gave Roxy a second chance, i don't think there's any reason to believe they wouldn't give Cindy as well, Roxy had amateurish striking back then too
I didn't said it was at the same lv, but fact is if they ignored Roxy's terrible striking years ago, they could forget about Dandois's striking as well, let's not act like everyone in UFC is a K1 elite fighter, Colby Covington has regional lv striking and is a top 3 welterweight just with good cardio, phenomenal wrestling and good BJJ.. Look to Curtis Blaydes boxing lol, Dandois compensates with her grappling, the problem was the terrible match up they gave her: another beast of a grappler, in Davis.That's pretty insulting to Roxy.

They'll probably ignore records.Might even ignore age for a few like they did with Honchak. You can't tell me that if Colbey Northcutt shows up they'll reject her for her record.
I wouldn't be shocked if Pannie Kianzad showed up as well.
Yeah, they say that every time.
Well, at the TUF 26 (125 lbs) they respected it, giving just a exception for Honchak, who was a former champ.. All fighters had at least 3 pro bouts and no one had a losing record, some had a even record though, meaning it would probably still apply. Like i said, other than Honchak, no one was 35 years old or older.Yeah, they say that every time.
Same thing with Danyelle Wolfe I woul think too.They'll probably ignore records.Might even ignore age for a few like they did with Honchak. You can't tell me that if Colbey Northcutt shows up they'll reject her for her record.

At 125, there are a lot more options than at 145, to be fair to them.Well, at the TUF 26 (125 lbs) they respected it, giving just a exception for Honchak, who was a former champ..

I remember reading from some fighters that their record wasn't enough, so yeah i don't think they'd give 0-1 Northcutt a shot..
I would not get too happy about TUF not doing 105 this season. The leak said the last season of TUF will be 105 not the next season. So you are not out of the woods yet. There is a possibility they might tape 1 more season before the end of the current TV contract. I believe it ends at the end of the year.So this will be like tuf 23 and they'll only need to find 8 featherweights?
I'm glad they're not using tuf to find an atomweight champ. Crazy to crown someone when you rule out non-English speakers and girls who'll find the cuts in the house too difficult.
Hopefully they will have a 105 division but I guess they'll have to find another way to select the first belt holder ....... just install the Invicta champ perhaps, whoever that might be.

I personally don't mind TUF being used to crown champions because the division corrects itself pretty fast anyway. 115 corrected itself the 1st title fight after the show. 125 will do the same when Valentina and/or Maia get a crack it.
Helwani said this could very well be the last TUF season. This MMALOGIC guy that leaked some stuff isn't a credible source, in my opinion.I would not get too happy about TUF not doing 105 this season.
