If the UFC keeps starving the heavyweight division like this, they are eventually going to become 205ers.
when will we see heavyweights?
Ultimate Fighter 9 I would assume. Should so badly be TUF 8, maybe they are just hoping the light heavyweights they get will just drop down to middleweight and they can fill it twice as hard.
When is Tuf 8 or any of the Tuf’s coming to San Diego for tryouts. For Light Heavywieghts or Middleweights.
Do u hafta weigh in at 155 the day of the tryouts?
[...] by Dimson I believe it was going to be heavyweights but switched to LHW the last minute. Five Ounces of Pain | Casting Call for “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 8 The original press release when they announced the casting call for TUF 8 was for LW and LHW. [...]
