They've recently started back up the lightweight division so TUF 5 is probably targeted for that. I have no idea why TUF 6 is geared towards the welterweight, which I think UFC has the best depth. I would think they still need some help in the heavyweight division. |
I agree, the UFC has a lot of depth at Welterweight and Middleweight. I would love to see an all Heavyweight TUF, but I think the UFC is concerned that many Heavyweights at that level of competition are blubbering, slow, Fatweights... everyone looking like Wesley "Cabbage" Correira, but without his sturdy chin.
