McGregor's Team Of "Prospects" Are TRASH! Is The Ultimate Fighter A Dead Show?

[@the-mma-guru]

Lee Hammond is literally the only hope and Landon Quinones has some talent too. I don't see them continuing this show after even McGregor couldn't bring in the big viewing numbers they needed. I'll take an extra two weeks of contender series over this show any day.

I believe it’s all because the ufc has been doing a terrible job of scouting talent. Ive been saying this since 2020. Contender series and ultimate fighter exist only to try and sign mid level talent that they can pay next to nothing to keep on the roster. The hope is that you find about 1 out of 200 that ends up being a great champion. It’s a strategy that saves the company a ton of money, but eventually it’s going to be nothing but fighters like this on the roster and only .01% of fighters will actually be a great fighter.

[@mmanut7087]

There are only about 300 NBA players and it’s a team sport. MMA is a much younger sport. Is it possible that anyone who’s any good has already been recruited by UFC, Bellator, One, or PFL? Most of these guys only get to 7-0, 8-1, or at most 10-1 or 2 before getting signed. It’s rare for guys to get signed after they have proved themselves. The bottom of the ranking is basically becoming regional mma. Fight nights are 80% basically regional talents with a few top 10 guys thrown in. MMA is only 30 years old. Most of the people who will be good are already signed

[@Supertoxie1]

Back in the day there weren't as many MMA companies. So TUF was able to get a lot more good talent. Nowadays all the good fighters are making money and appearances elsewhere. There is so much for talented fighters to do today instead of betting their career on a TUF contract that isn't guaranteed. That is why TUF fell off.
