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.

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

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! Yes, they have to win a fight-in.

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.

Just seems more like it might have been true that mmajunkie hasn't been posting anything this season after they were so adamant about posting all the fighters from last season. @#5 Evan- I read that rumor a long time ago. not sure where, maybe if I stew on it for a little while I will remember.

I like to see guys who deserve it make it on the show. On a complete tangent, i find it funny that MMAjunkie went crazy last season announcing all the fighters before the show started, and now after the rumor that they were reprimanded for it they now publish NOTHING about the cast. Kinda comical. Its really not important to me to know the cast members before hand anyway. I like to be surprised. Nice. I like to see guys who deserve it make it on the show.

Part of the hook is to see an unaccomplished and unknown fighter battle his way out of the throng to the top of the TUF chain for the contract. It's hardly a level playing field when they have some guys with zero fights and some guys with 12 or 20 fights, although this guy is not too experienced I suppose. Just speaking in general terms.
