I know one of the TUF contestants and that was the info he gave out when prodded for info, lol. I’m going off what he said, not actual visual confirmation of the agreement, so don’t take it as gospel, but knowing Dana, it makes sense.

bjjdenver, how do you know that there is this disclosure form and the $5mil?

I have always wondered, how the hell does word not leak out of these TUF shows. I mean if one guy tells somebody and he tells somebody and some reporter gets wind of it, how do they know where the original rumor came from? In the past 7 seasons, there haven’t even been rumor’s circulating that so-and-so won the season. I never understood how that level of secrecy is maintained. Anybody have a good answer for that?

Also to HexRei, I agree that it’s not good to bring in experienced guys. Like when Mac Danzig won, how fair was that? The guy had fought in PRIDE (did get his ass kicked) but was way higher in level that the other guys.

[...] In other TUF news, White apparently thinks he has “the next Anderson Silva” in the form of a lightweight on their eighth season’s cast. Guess it won’t take long to figure out who makes it to the finals. Whoever comes out head and shoulders above the rest destroying people in the first episode is probably the one. Maybe this guy?

Yes, they have to win a fight-in. I liked it also, but I think the guys should know ahead of time they are doing that, but not who the opponent will be.

Taping was completed recently, the lhw I know is back and I expect the names to start leaking more frequently.

BTW, these guys have to sign a non-disclosure form of some type that puts them on the hook for 5 million bucks if they squawk!

Is it a fact that they still have to win their way into the house this year? I kind of liked that idea last season. With that there was kind of a sense of the fighters earned their way into the house.

Not all the fighters who were rumored for the last season made the house. I remeber Steve Byrnes name popping up, and he lost to Amir to get in.
