I think the big problem is that there are other orgs now for fighters and some of them have signed contracts with them. Any guy who is lets say 8-0 would make a great addition to TUF, but would also make a good addition to EliteXC, Strikeforce, IFL, etc. My guess is the application specifically states that you cannot have another contract with another company by the time filming starts and as such, some fighters aren't able to get on the show. Just a guess as to why there have been some lackluster records and/or guys with 1 fight on this season.
OR
Its because the MW division really is weak everywhere, not just in the UFC.
