- ULTIMATE FIGHTER 8 FEATURES 155- & 205-POUNDERS
Monday, March 24, 2008 - by MMAWeekly.com

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Spike TV and the Ultimate Fighting Championship on Monday announced a casting call for season eight of “The Ultimate Fighter.” The tryouts are scheduled to take place on April 10 in Boston at the Sheraton Boston Hotel.



Unlike season seven, which is comprised entirely of middleweight fighters, the casting call for season eight calls for fighters from both the lightweight (155-pound) and light heavyweight (205-pound) weight classes.



No indication was given as to how many fighters would be chosen for the season eight. Nor was it stated whether or not the fighters would have to take part in the new “fight-off” format that will kick-off season seven.



UFC president Dana White, The Ultimate Fighter executive producer Craig Piligian, and Spike TV senior vice president Brian Diamond will oversee the tryouts.



All interested applicants must be over 21 and our encouraged to sign up in advance at UFC.com or Spike.com.
Sounds like I may have to sign up for the lightweight. Shit yah that is a good spoiler for some coach debates right there.

I am glad they are going back to the original two weight class format.

yeah but why LW & LHW? I think they'd be better served by doing a HW TUF imo.

That is for season 7 of the Ultimate Fighter. Season 8 will apparently feature fighters from the 155 and 205 division. I wonder who the coaches will be? I may have missed it and it is probably far off but, when does season 8 start filming?

Why would they want to stack the already stacked LW and LHW divisions?

to oversaturate the talent pool with less than credible fighters.
