9. The UFC Really Missed Out On Another Heavyweight TUF
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6PN8XnuRiI Anthony Hamilton, Ruan Potts, Walt Harris, Derrick Lewis, Jared Rosholt, Jack May - do these names ring a bell? They've all fought in the UFC within the past six to ten months, some successfully, some not. And they all fight at heavyweight. Along with some European fighters like Nikita Krylov, they represent the UFC signing lesser known regional fighters to add much needed blood to their heavyweight division, a wise move. A better move, however, would have been to sign them all to a season of The Ultimate Fighter featuring heavyweights. Aside from Lewis and Rosholt, these fighters need seasoning, and they also need exposure to UFC fans, so this was really a missed opportunity. This isn't the first time we've called for this, but it became more apparent than ever in tonight's Potts vs. Hamilton fight. It's not too late - the UFC needs to go this route with TUF 21.
