LAS VEGAS – Strikeforce veteran Derek Brunson, UFC veterans
Nissen Osterneck and Jay Silva, and WEC veteran Marcus Hicks were among more than 120
middleweight and light-heavyweight hopefuls who attended today’s open
tryout session for “The Ultimate Fighter 17.”
The prospective cast members gathered at the Fertitta family-owned Palace Station Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
The tryouts started out with a bang – literally – as light-heavyweight
hopefuls Diman Morris and Dan Charles went crashing through a folding
table.
