Big changes for sure.
Ultimate fighter wasn't drawing all that well anyways. Seems that they are trying to trim anywhere they can. Money could be spent better somewhere Else... or saved

The past few seasons have been brutal to watch. I was hopeful with this season with the whole everyone is a champ thing.....but, I barely made it through the two hour premier and haven't gone back to watch the rest. Maybe it's because I don't give a shit about the coaches, maybe it's because I don't give a shit about any of the fighters yet.
Personally, I would want them to have one more comeback season and call it a day. I loved the first comeback season and would love to see it done again.

with all the layoffs, so to see the roster cut. This is only the tip of the ice berg because of the debt they have. WME-IMG is cutting all the same positions the UFC has. We will also start seeing more of the celebs that are the backers help promoting the UFC (IE. Conan having a UFC type segment now on his late night talk show) 2017 might be very different for the MMA World
Don't they make money on tuf? I'm completely clueless as to who pays who for what and all that, but figured they pay for production of the show and everything and in return, sell it to the network, who then makes their money on t.v ads and such. Also, if I have it ass backwards and if they aren't making money in the show, the whole thing is a massive write off and basically free exposure.
Good.

Meh.
Good.stop flooding the ufc with guys who have no business being there.there has been some legit talent come up through tuf but a lot of cannon fodder as well.let those guys fight for someone else and the cream will rise to the top then take the best of the best and sign those guys.

Bottom line is a reality show of amateur, non-Conor type dudes who are training, not fucking any chicks and acting like bros doesn't sell shit. WME|IMG might be able to sell this sport to the public better than the knuckledraggers that used to work for Zuffa.
This season intrigued me, but I stopped watching around the HW season, was the Cruz Faber one before or after that? Around then. The talent in the show was just shocking, I understand having a forumla but you gotta have actual shit worth watching.
Forget TUF, develop a "feeder league" which you air on free TV and is just a simple production with simple fights that has a simple hierachy that is clear who gets in and out of the UFC. Great way to test guys without me having to fast forward 45 minutes of TV just to see one 2 round fight.

I agree but I doubt WME-IMG would put in the time and effort for a feeder league, it works well in soccer with Portugal,france and holland feeding guys to england,italy,spain and Germany
Looks like they're doing just that, but denying it's over atm.
'The Ultimate Fighter 25' starts filming in January, 'all-star' concept in play
They should do a comeback season once every 4 years - like the Olympics. otherwise.
bye.
LOL & I was almost on the first season.

I didnt watch 5 minutes of this season, which kinda sucks because
@Chief said it's one of their better one's with the change in production.
Replacing it with the ultimate ring girl. Cool.
For real they wanna or are in the process of doing a show based on the octagon girls
