9 Lessons Learned From The Ultimate Fighter Season 20 Premiere

4. These Really Are The Best Strawweights In The World (With One Exception)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXJxcT2Redk Almost without exception, the sixteen girls in the TUF 20 tournament are the best strawweights in the world. Most of them are well established in the sport, but even Angela Hill, with just one pro fight, looks stellar in training. They've got solid ground games. There are some solid strikers. There are some well rounded fighters. The coaches this season will be fine tuning more than training. We did mention one exception, however. That would be Jessica Aguilar. Aguilar is the WSOF strawweight champion, and his considered the top strawweight in the world. The WSOF snagged her before TUF 20 really came together, and unfortunately, according to Aguilar, the UFC wasn't really interested at the time, and the WSOF gave her more than she asked for. By the time TUF 20 is over and a champion is crowned, Aguilar may wind up being the Ben Askren of the strawweight division.
