This past Thanksgiving weekend, we all had a lot to be thankful for. One thing I’m very thankful for is the 14th season of The Ultimate Fighter.
The UFC needed more Bantamweights and Featherweights and the reality show delivered. There are plenty of great prospects for the UFC’s two new weight classes. And this cast of fighters delivered some of the best fights in TUF history!
Unlike TUF 13, we also got to see two coaches who really and truly don’t like each other. The pranks were creative and entertaining. Bisping and Mayhem clearly didn’t like each other from day one, but the animosity between them grew by leaps and bounds as the season progressed.
Both men did an admirable job training their fighters, although Mayhem was probably just a little better at it.
There were great fights and great personality conflicts. Akira was definitely this season’s bad boy. The really surprising thing was that the UFC did not pursue a rematch between Akira and Dustin Neace.
At the end of the day, the 14tth offering of the UFC’s reality show has given us everything we could have possibly asked for except one: an evenly matched pair of coaches.
Whether you love him or hate him, one thing is obvious: Michael Bisping is going to kick the crap out of Jason “Mayhem” Miller. In fact, this is probably the worst mismatch that we’ve seen in TUF history.
