It looks like MMA Junkie has learned that The Ultimate Fighter Season 7 had a “big” change in format. Yes, just one and it’s really not what we had expected, but it’s better than nothing. If that is the only big change this year, is that going to be enough to keep viewers from complaining about the lack of real action on the show? Maybe. Is it going to be enough to keep the entire show interesting? Well, no.
With the news that The Ultimate Fighter will initially feature 32 fighters, you may be wondering how the show will be able to keep track of 32 guys over the course of two hours or less. Well, with 16 matches determining the 16 fighters to stay on the show, we’ll quickly learn who stays and who goes and the 16 losers won’t get their 15 (or even just 10) minutes of fame.
In just one or two episodes, we can expect up to 16 fights - most likely crammed into a highlight of fight inexperience and wrestling abilities. While that sounds like a good reason to watch the upcoming season, it really only gives us a reason to watch the first couple episodes. After the initial fights, should we expect the same boring “16 fights in a house” drama? For the sake of all viewers, I certainly hope not. Let’s see if the UFC had some other ideas for TUF 7 before we start complaining again.
