TUF 19 - Penn, Edgar + Pendred & Fields! **Spoilers**

If tut 19 starts in March/April with one show a week then June/ July sounds bout right-

I'm not sure how you are working that out.
The series is usually about 13 episodes long. So if it starts it march/april, the finale episode will be in june/july. With the finale soon after.

Apologies to yourself and tmfr, you are both right of course. For some reason when I originally did my calculations it seemed that June/July were too far away from the proposed series start dates, but doing them again I can see they are perfectly reasonable.

Sorry again, chaps.

The season will start airing in mid April

Havent heard anything yet about BT

Looks very much like Pendred to me that gets knocked out, hopefully not! No one has picked up on this yet either but the very next action shot shows Fields taking a heavy shot and appears to heading to the ground before it cuts away. This is definitely Fields (tattoo proves it).

Am I the only person who spotted Nordine Taleb in both videos?? As in the same Nordine Taleb who is currently in TUF Nations 'Canada v Australia'??

If it's not him then it's his twin. He appears in red shorts in birth videos fighting a bearded guy with long hair.

the TUF spoilers always make you think this and then something else happens.

Dont find it fair that Taleb gets another shot at a TUF, IMO competing against a weak MMA nation.

Cathal Pendred and Chris Fields: Our TUF Experience – Part 1



Ahead of the season premiere of The Ultimate Fighter 19, PETER CARROLL spoke to Irish hopefuls, former Cage Warriors world champions Cathal Pendred and Chris Fields about their decision to try out for the show, moving up a weight division and the benefits of having a team mate to share the experience with.

Two of Ireland’s premier mixed martial artists, Cathal Pendred and Chris Fields, will look to go one step further than their fellow countrymen – Joseph Duffy, Paul McVeigh and Paddy Holohan – as they attempt to make it into The Ultimate Fighter 19 house, with the pre-recorded series set to be beamed around the world on Thursday, April 17th.

Two former world champions, Pendred having given up his 170lbs Cage Warriors title to pursue the reality television platform, both he and Fields are no strangers to their names being linked to UFC contracts over the years and the Dublin duo explained why they felt the time was right to try-out for the show.

“The first series of TUF was on about the same time as I started to fight, I’ve watched it for a long time and I always have liked the show,” said former Cage Warriors middleweight champion, Fields. “Everything seemed to be popping off over here and Cathal was expected to be signed to the UFC after winning his last fight, so I figured it would be a good time for me to give it a go.”

Linked with moves to both UFC and WSOF after his last bout with UFC veteran Che Mills, Pendred outlined the thinking behind his try out.

“After the Che fight I thought a UFC contract might happen and when it didn’t I just couldn’t see another fight that would prove that I was ready for it. Since I’ve turned pro all I’ve been focused on is climbing the ranks and I really wanted to fight Paul Daley, but when he signed for BAMMA I knew that was off the table.

As far as I know Fields had a back injury going into the fight, will be watching it after work so want to see if its obvious in his movement.
