For people who enjoy UFC/MMA and like TUF, this is going to be an amazing seaon. All heavyweight. Rashad Evans and Rampage Jackson are the coaches, which means we'll be able to see the long awaited fight between them. On top of that, Kimbo Slice is going to be in it, which will either make or break him making it into the UFC.

Season airs September 16th. Discuss.

I can't wait for this season to start. My prediction on Kimbo Slice. He'll be the 4th or 5th person be eliminated! As for Rashad Evans and "Rampage" Jackson guess their fight will determine who will be the number 1 contender for Lyoto Machida's title?

On a related note, who think Frank Mir will beat the hell out of Brock Lesnar for the Heavyweight title? I do!!

Lesnar will be completely different from their first fight, but it will still be interesting.

Kimbo, its good to see him still wanting to be legit and I give props to the UFC for giving him another chance. Excite XC pushed him too much and they paid for it.

Honestly I think the next no. 1 contender for the 205 belt will be between Griffin and Silva depending on who wins that fight, though til then I dont know who (if anyone) will fight Machida. Though I do see the winner of Rampage/Evans getting a shot at whoever holds the belt after they fight.

Rampage is already set to fight Machida in October (UFC 104 I think?). All I know is, unless Rampage gets a lucky punch, Machida is getting an easy victory.

And yes, Kimbo is going to be awesome. This will make or break his MMA career.

Arky, Rampage decided to fight Evans instead of the title fight by becoming a coach for season 10. As per this article: http://www.ufc.com//index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=20068

Either way Machida will have a fight by the time Rampage and Evans have theirs, barring injury of anyone... It's just a matter of who they would have Machida fight. I do see Griffin having another shot at the title if he beats Silva, that or he fights Rampage or Evans again depending on how everything plays out. Honestly I dont see any other 205'er going for the title besides those guys at the moment. Unless they have the winner of Franklin/Silva fight Machida next.

I read somewhere that they are bring in quite a few veteran guys like Roy Nelson, and Wes Sims along with a few former NFL players like Marcus Jones. As for Kimbo being on the show...what a joke.

Shogun is apparently getting first crack at Machida since the Evans/Jackson thing is going the TUF route. This...is actually a great matchup since both Machida and Shogun both have potential to be the best ever 205er.
