Cool to see how in that one spot, Jessamyn, Shayna, Roxy and Sarah were all sitting together. And they all made it on the show.
1)
It’s a 7am start, the next half an hour sees fighters talking between themselves whilst the UFC set up their table and the all important laptops. UFC matchmaker Joe Silva arrives at 7:30 and at 7:45, registration begins as the fighters are called up one by one. Fighters records are checked online, hence the importance of the laptops. Some are asked to show their tattoos, this may seem of minor significance, but this small check will avoid a potential large problem further down the line.
This is amazing!
Esther is bringing the art back.
I am so excited!
I love this!!!!!!!
I was at the Palace Station yesterday and didn't realize these were going on I guess I just missed seeing Dana White by a few minutes the person I was meeting there saw him though.
cant wait for this season! n dam Dodson is funny af! xD
this is gonna be sick!!!!
Ironically, the last girl Fox knocked out, Ericka Newsome, also tried out for TUF 18, she's at 1.07
what is the title of the background music?
looking forward to watching TUF 18.
Goosebumps
No, It's the one in 1:54 of course!
revalena berto is andre berto sister im really looking forward to seeing her on tuf there whole family fights this season going to be great
her brother is Former world champion boxer Andre berto
i am not excited at ALL, i loved last season, this has to be GREAT to catch my interest
6:47 HHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAA
This might just be awesome
LaRosa, Evenger, Modafferi and Baszler should be shoe ins to be on the show but then again, you never know when it comes to these reality TV show castings. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near the ground with Baszler but it would be interesting to see Modafferi against her (still would give the edge to Baszler though)
Zuffa should be paying MMAfighting for this promo. Wasn't all that interested in the upcoming season until this video.
The woman standing and doing the dancy thingy at the 28/29 second mark looks like Joe Lauzon.
Me too, I had to rewatch too see it. Looks like his female doppelganger.
This is truly evolution of the human race at it's best. It's quite amazing.
You mean the girl at 1:02? If so, she's the younger sister of boxer Andre Berto and MMA fighter Edson Berto. She comes from a good lineage.
That's Former WBC Welterweight Champion Andre Berto's lil sister. Hope she makes it to the house to see what she has.
LOL Dodson I love that guy
These girls look scrappy. Dodson does an impression of a girl too well.
Modafferi in TUF!!!! holly....
Tonya Evinger FTW!! Team Tap Or Sleep... WHAT?!?!?!!!
yes, berto
think he's just re-enacting nate quarry's walking hammer fists
1:05 - Ain't nobody got time for that!
Jenna Dodson is on fire!
dana said heshe not allowed
different
no they just want to see their skill level it doesnt matter if they get submitted the
Lol that was my initial thought also
Yeah, who has ever heard of the head of an organisation actually being present for their events..... Crazy Talk.
Your opinion matters.
I thank and also blame Roxanne Modafferi for reviving the comments in 2020. :)
A few things... 1. More than a few (5-7 of them) have pronounced jaw lines & "caveman like" cheek bones/foreheads when it came to facial structure (juicing @ one time or another) 2. Lots of chics were getting caught in triangles. 3. I'll watch (dvr) season 18.
Do a little research before you make an asenine comparison like that. You could check the combine records or Roxanne Modaferi, Tara LaRosa, and Shayna Basler....I`ll wait...nothing like Tank Abbott`s record, right?! So, as I said, A LOT MORE experience in the ring...a lot of winning experience. And all three have a lot of skills that Ronda and Cat don`t. Thus, if these three make the show, they may end up coaching a bit themselves.
3)
It’s not much to ask, but some fighters try their luck, despite not meeting the requirements. Some say that their latest win isn’t on the Sherdog database yet and others ask Joe Silva to view their highlight reel. It’s a desperate plea, to a busy man and it’s not the right way to get noticed.
(Then it says they start out with grapling, and so on.. After showing the skills, they choose who gets to stay.
Copy-pasted from google on how they did it last season)
Peace;)
2)
At 8:15, registration comes to an end, but there is an opportunity for the fighters in the room who didn’t have their name read out, either by mistake or because they arrived with a teammate, to register. A quick check of their record proves what fighting experience they have and that is the admin completed. completed.
The requirement is to have at least two professional wins and also have a winning record.
I'm not sure myself, but I know they choose amateur fighters. You hear the girls getting interviewed saying they've fought so and so many years in different amateur leagues. The UFC organisation probably looks at where they've fought and their records before they get a trial. I'm pretty sure it's nothing like american idol, etc, where anyone can show up. In american idol, nothing is required, but here, you have to be a fighter, that's obvious. Maybe you can find correct answers if you google..?
That's like saying put Ben Henderson against GSP at a catchweight of 165. They weigh the same but obvious GSP is going to win, he is naturally a bigger and stronger human being. That is the case for men over women about 99% of the time even if they look exactly the same size.
Obviously she would lose to Cruz or Barao but that's because both of them are unbelievably great fighters and especially well-rounded. I bet Ronda would beat a lot of men outside the top 10/15 of bantamweight
in a straight fight OBVIOUSLY he can, he is a good fight AND he has 40+ lbs on her.
In a grappling contest, Ronda showed her technique overcame that 40 lbs and she can still beat him if she gets a hold of him.
I'm just pointing out that if women weren't good, she wouldn't be able to submit him when he is that much bigger and he is good himself.
Trust me dude, I know a lot more than you
They are not there to pick the best women fighters to appear on the show, they are there to pick the most bikini compatible women to put on their show (yay, weigh-ins). Six years in the U.S. Army and I saw some PT Gurus who were indeed chicks; they were badass yes, only one of them was what you’d call “feminine”.
Acknowledging the victory??? wtf are you talking about? So you mean because one seemingly progressive thing happens we can forget everything and go back to regarding women's achievements as novelty every time they happen? I don't mind jokes. But it's always they same type of jokes....and that tells a bigger story my friend.
There should be no "steps to acceptance" for something like women in mma in the year 2013. Although I do know what you mean, there should be no mystery about it. It's people doing what they love and it just so happens that these people are women. That's it. I just wish people would move on and not dwell on such trivial things.
America the shallow and superficial, not-quite-as-progessive as we think we are. Thank you all for your contributions to going backwards. A few women can't get involved in a sport that they love in this country with out receiving poorly disguised cat calls, an unnatural amount of attention to their appearance, and without overall negative skepticism. Bravo America!
The way you wrote it made it seem like you were implying they weren't worth watching or less worthy than men, or they might not be as skilled/hardworking.
If you mean that the #1 Male would beat #1 Woman at the same weight, of course you are right and I apologise for my misinterpretation.
depends what you mean by "as good as". I agree that the average female fighter wouldn't beat the average male fighter for the same reasons that female tennis players don't play male tennis players...etc. They are as good as their bodies allow them to be which is all you can really ask for.
You've obviously never rolled with a woman who knows ju-jitsu or sparred with a woman who knows how to fight. Just because you accept your pre-conceived "limitations" doesn't mean other women do, or should.
This is coming from a male feminist who trains with amazingly talented women.
you do realise he is a lot stronger her naturally and is much, much bigger than her... right?
He would of course win a straight fight. That being said, while rolling, she was dominating even with all that extra weight fight against.
Guess those women aren't so bad...
There not trying to be as good as men, they just want a chance to compete. Who are we to deny them the right to fight in a sport they love as much as us? Besides two fights in so far and the UFC's Women's division is not disappointing at all.
this is what they do for the guys too.
The clothes doesn't matter because it's still no Gi, it's exactly the same. It only matters if they are using the clothes or holding them, which they aren't allowed to
all female would be sexier and higher ratings, tate wouldve been way better tuf couch my opinion. i understand though to have all female cast is difficult at this time though and thats why its both men & wom
totally i hate how ppl bash him, look at any other sport you dont even ever see the CEOs or know their name, plus he seems very likable, like any other boss screw him over and feel his anger
This makes me look forward to TUF 18. Should have been an all women season imo. I think the UFC want to ease some fans into the transition, the ones who aren't sure about women in the UFC.
See a lot of talent there, nice to see the women getting more chances to showcase their skills.
LOL....you are absolutely right. I am idealistic. But you know what. It's ideals that got women equality in the first place. So I take that as a compliment. Thank you.
will not watch this season. If i wanna see chicks screaming and fighting i can watch bad girls club or jersey shore
How is Tonya not in the UFC already isn't she already a world class fighter, she fought Gina Carano right? (I could be super wrong, but I remember her name)
Jokes are the previous step to acceptance. It's much better than everyone saying they shouldn't be allowed. Let them make jokes, because you can't stop it.
Wonder how many of these women will be pissed when better looking girls (that they can beat) make it on the show instead of them. Maybe zero, but I wonder.
yeah that was erika newsome got wrecked by the fallon fox dude. thaiclinch knee I heard all the fighters that showed up will fight to get in the house.
Watch the background @ 3:31 = Awesome I've always wanted to see a video bomb on something thats being taken to seriously. Made for a good comic relief.
They deserve a league of their own or something like that. To put them on the same level as men is unfair, for them as performers, and for us as fans.
I GUARANTEE that the chick with fluoroscent top with the tattoo around her waist in the very beginning will cause some shit in the house.
Keep setting the bar low buddy. That's how you go nowhere in life. BTW Those other places don't matter as much to me as my own country. Smartguy.
Yea that's andre bertos sister and there was also randy coutures ex wife
I'de be interested to see how many of them cry after lossing a fight, because the majority of the guys who competed in this show cried :P
I love Julie, she's a hoot! Really looking forward to her fighting in the UFC. She could do a good job being a guest commentator also.
I'd really like to see that goody2shoes girl with ponytails and nerd glasses fight, i bet she turns into some crazy bitch in the ring haha
I hope these woman take this opportunity and show the world that woman's mma can stand toe to toe with the men. Lets go ladies TUF 18!
the ONLY type of girl fights I like.. MMA.. and they don't lock on and pull hair all the time... GREAT JOB Dana White!! I cant wait
well Hall was trying but even so, Men are built naturally bigger and stronger than woman, doesn't mean they aren't worth watching
they should have done the whole TUF cast as women, guaranteed Dana is kicking himself in the ass!
that one jennah johnson at the end was fallon fox .fox recently changed his name to jennah that didn't look like fox to you? lol
That is a LOT of women who shouldn't have to "try out" to be in the UFC. Most of those interviewed deserve to be in the UFC.
No, she actually said Brighton, England. Which is a place in England duh. Do you think people are actually that stupid?
on a serious note whos going to watch this its just like any other sport the male side of it just dominates the views
She is she got KO but that dude Fallon Fox the a few weeks later that's when everyone found out Fallon Fox was a man
She says her name.....it's Tara LaRosa, she's been one of top WMMA fighters at 125 and 135 lbs for years. She's 21-3
FACT: The world would be a better place if women like this were calling the shots. Not hard at all to root for them
......And the incessant focus on their looks!!!! Why is that important????? God damn can we grow up already!!!!!!!!!
Roxanne, Tara, and Shayna have A LOT MORE fighting experience than the Ronda or Cat; I wonder who will coach who.
This is going to be Awesome as hell women getting in the cage this there shout and I am going beside them 100%
Thats one cute sista right there at 2:10 can't wait to see what MMA skills she have,if she makes it pass here.
Tough strong lookin' female fighters. Can't wait! The ladies have always brought it, should be a great season!
I don't mind a funny or clever joke but I swear it's always the same types of comments.....that's my beef.
this is cool cause they might actually discover some good wmma talent on the show, unlike with the men...
Geez a lot have fought for many years. You'd think they stop being hit with the ugly stick for so long.
Because you would have a shot..
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, my friend.
I thought Jenna Dodson was Mr Fallon Fox for a second there and threw up on my brand new she's dude.!
If they allow Evenger and Larosa into the house we know what the finaly will be.
the bjj showcase doesn't really translate that well to mma because of the clothes and no gloves.
jessica pryor that's the hottie lightskin black gal I hope she fights as good as she looks!
It looks like Milk weed from blood in blood out with the white hat in the background at 3:44
