TUF 24: How They Stack Up

Posted on July 21, 2016 by Oleg

Another season of ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ reality series looms on the horizon. This will be season 24, not counting the various unnumbered international spin-offs like TUF: Brazil and TUF: Latin America. In my opinion, this show is long past its expiration date and I stopped watching many years ago. However, this season will be a little different than most: coached by top UFC flyweights Joe Benavidez and Henry Cejudo, the cast features 16 flyweights who hold a title in one of various minor MMA leagues throughout the world. The winner will get a shot at the dominant reigning champion Demetrious Johnson, who is currently not only #1 in the world in his weight class, but also #1 on our Division Point Dominance list, #2 Pound for Pound (likely soon to be promoted to #1 with the pending suspension of Jon Jones), as well as the #1 flyweight fighter of all time. The coaches, who both already had their chance at DJ’s gold, will also square off at the conclusion of the season and the winner could likely be the next in line for another go-round at the title. This will be the first season of TUF in many years that I will be watching, even though I still hope that the new UFC ownership axes the incredibly stale series.

So how do the TUF 24 flyweight contenders stack up in the FightMatrix rankings? Keep reading to find out.
