The last time Danny Castillo got this close to the set of “The Ultimate Fighter,” a producer told him he’d fallen just short of being a competitor on the show.
Now, Castillo is back in Las Vegas, and he frequently spends time on the set of “TUF: Live” while helping the aspiring lightweights as part of Team Urijah Faber. He doesn’t technically work there because, he laments, he doesn’t get paid.
But he gets compensated in other ways.
