I have season 1 through to season 19 all on DVD. I lost my shit on them. I would buy a 4 pack of red bull, a bunch of chocolate bars and watch every season start to finish. I had a tremendous time lol

I still have a signed team Lidell jersey from working security on the show. Good times and the ultimate finale was amazing. I had no idea how iconic the Griffin/Bonner fight would be but to watch it live was absolutely crazy.

@@iBlackula definitely, I shower how tuff these guys actually were and this show wasn't just an "easy" way into the UFC but also showed how awesome actual UFC fights could be .
I miss these days of the UFC, when it still wasn't quite mainstream and still had that edgy, underground feel. When Diego finally leaves the UFC, it will be the end of a solely missed era.
Diego was a friggin beast back in the day. His attitude changed as he matured like most people. Still one of my favorite fighters during his rise through the UFC 🇺🇸
That's a damn good turn out. Watched season 5 with Nate Diaz,Joe Lauzon and Gray Maynard. Those are the 3 I can remember seeing in actual UFC matches. Gabe Ruediger fought in the UFC,but he was thrown out of TUF house for not making weight.
@@shermswarthau5366 Funny thing is Ruediger was the favourite because he was a former WEC champ. When he finally got in the UFC Joe Lauzon chocked him out lol, the only other stacked season is 14 which had Dillashaw, Brandoa, Brimage, Dodson, Burmudez and Jimmy Riveira was nocked out in the qualifiers lol.
@@demilich867 lol. The Lauzon/Ruediger fight was a life lesson for Ruediger. Joe absolutely annihilated Gabe in no time flat! Gabe was so dejected he wouldn't even shake Joe's hand afterward which is BS IMO. One of the coolest things about MMA is even though the fighters may talk all kinds of trash before the fight,it's usually total respect for each other after the fight win or lose. Gabe lost so badly that the fight he had scheduled in India was cancelled after the promoters called him and said don't bother making the trip! Ruediger was a disgrace! He "Gave 100% in the kitchen" didn't put in the effort to cut all the weight he gained eating ice cream cake etc. and cost a serious fighter their chance to experience TUF. Even after Dana kicked him out and Emerson was breaking Ruediger off about being a bum...Gabe was eating a bag of chips while getting chewed out for not making weight! SMH. Penn & Pulver couldn't stand each other,but after the fight they squashed it and BJ invited Jens to Hawaii to train together. Damn good season!
