Where Are They Now? The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) Winners

Find out where your favorite The Ultimate Fighter winners are now:

The post Where Are They Now? The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) Winners appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

With the UFC having now secured a new broadcasting deal with ESPN from 2019 onwards, Dana White recently admitted that ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ show may finally be on its way out after a 27season series run.

As such, now seems like a good time to take a look back at what has become of every single one of the long-running show’s 35 ‘Ultimate Fighter’ winners to date.

Find out what your favorite past winners of TUF are up to now:

SEASON 1

Diego Sanchez

It’s a testament to Diego Sanchez’s durability that 13 years after winning TUF season 1 he remains the only fighter from that historic series to still be actively competing in the UFC, having amassed 27 fights (16-11) to date.

However, after suffering back-to-back first-round knockouts in his last two fights, it’s possible that the 36-year-old’s memorable career is now entering its final stages, though Sanchez has assured his fans that, “I’m not done yet.”


Forrest Griffin

Arguably TUF’s most iconic winner, Griffin’s fight with Stephan Bonner in the Season 1 finale was declared as the most important fight in UFC history by Dana White, while he’d also go on to win the light-heavyweight title too.

Griffin retired in 2013 at the age of 33 due to chronic injuries, but he’s since been inducted into the UFC’s Hall of Fame and now works for the UFC as their Vice President of Athletic Development.

Light heavyweight contender Corey Anderson was scheduled to take on Patrick Cummins in just a few weeks at UFC 217, but Cummins was recently forced to withdraw from the bout after suffering a staph infection.

Anderson, however, will remain on the card, as former interim title challenger Ovince Saint Preux has signed on to replace Cummins according to a report from Newsday.

Saint Preux took to Twitter earlier today (Oct. 19, 2017) to express his interest in fighting Anderson, and he’s apparently gotten what he’s asked for.

“Hey Corey, looks like you lost your partner & I’m sitting here without a fight, Nov. 4 I’m your guy,” he tweeted.

After losing three consecutive bouts to the likes of Jon Jones, Jimi Manuwa and Volkan Oezdemir, Saint Preux has recently bounced back, picking up back-to-back victories over Marcos Rogerio de Lima and Yushin Okami.

Anderson, on the other hand, has won four of his last six fights, but he most recently suffered a knockout loss to Manuwa last March.

UFC 217, which is set to take place on Nov. 4, 2017 at the famed Madison Square Garden in New York City, will play host to three title fights.

In the main event, middleweight champion Michael Bisping will take on Georges St. Pierre. Cody Garbrandt will put his bantamweight title on the line against TJ Dillashaw in the main event, and strawweight queen Joanna Jedrzejczyk will take on Rose Namajunas on the main card as well.
