TUF COMEBACK SEASON 2

Dtp1979

I hear a lot of guys here, including myself, say they'd like a second comeback season.
So who would you like to see in it??
I'd love to see chuck in action again but age is the biggest factor there.
Rich Franklin could have a couple of fights in him again. Maybe kimbo.

I know it wouldn't happen but a legends weight class would be fairly unreal imo, really hate seeing fighters iv looked up tos careers going down hill so rapidly it could possibly prolong certain fighters careers if they wanted.

The Comeback was a great season but there's so many reasons it wouldn't work now.

Like? Maybe they shouldn't get a title shot straight off, maybe a fight against the no. 1 contender. If they win then they at least deserve a shot

Well the premise of the first one was fighters who had fought in the UFC but never won the belt being on the show so that's any old ex champs gone and even if it that wasn't enforced there's plenty of reasons not wanting to see old, punch drunk fighters go through this.

Old guys - They're old, the commissions, they can't be competitive in the current divisions, would want a **** tonne of money or just wouldn't be interested in staying in a house for 8 weeks, fight 3 times in that period etc

And do we really want to see whatever old guy gets the win be bludgeoned by whoever the current champ or number 1 contender in that division is? Because that's what it would be.

Fighters outside the UFC - There's only a handful of fighters not in the UFC that would be interesting to have in it and they're tied to other promotions, more money needed here

Fighters in the UFC who havn't won the belt - Anyone in the top 10/15 willing to do this without being paid a **** tonne of money? I doubt it.
Do we want to see any guy ranked below #15 winning a few fights against similar and lower ranked guys getting a shot at the belt?

It'll take money and lots of it being the biggest obstacle.

The original comeback season was former UFC fighters who were cut, but still in roughly within fighting age.
Serra and Lytle were 31. Patrick Cote was 26.
It wasn't a load of retired guys in their 40s coming back Rocky style.
Im a big fan of Chuck, but he should never fight again.

Not saying it has to be chuck or retired guys. There just guys I'd like to see again

I'd love to see 2000-2006 Chuck again. But he doesn't exist.
I've no interest in seeing 45 year old Chuck suffer permanent damage.


Now, what about getting Paul Daley on TUF. The nest season has WW's

I'd just love to see him back in the UFC. I genuinely think that he deserves a second chance.

After he beats Lima he will be back I hope, he's a really nice bloke in person.

I met him at UFC Nottingham. He was sitting way back in the cheap seats, but he was very pleasant and we got a photo etc.

Hows Dalys grappling game these days?? when he was originally in the UFC.. all he wanted to do was stand in the pocket and swing... that wont get him up the rankings..but will endear him to the fans.
