Five Ounces of Pain | Casting Call for “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 8
The original press release when they announced the casting call for TUF 8 was for LW and LHW. There was a lot of speculation surrounding it being HW when they signed Nog and Mir but I never saw anything official that said it was going to be anything other than LW and LHW. But I do agree, they need help at HW badly, and despite what people may think, I think they need good WWs too. Besides GSP, there is a huge talent gap between him and the other guys in the division. If Matt Hughes retires, there goes another. I don't think Karo will ever be a legit title contender, Koscheck already lost to the champ, Alves will show what he's made of in fighting Hughes and I don't feel like Serra will be a contender again either. I do like Swick and Davis but both of those guys seem like middle of the pack kind of guys. I'm still a big fan of the both of them and look forward to their fight in June.
