Ok, I’m still a bit confused as to there being 2 TUF’s going on, one in the States with Faber and Cruz, and another in Brazil with Vitor and Wandy. I’m not sure when and where the Brazilian one will air, but the Faber/Cruz TUF kicks off NEXT Friday LIVE on FX. New format, new station, hopefully it will be an entertaining season. The list of fighters is below, early standouts for me are Myles Jury and James Krause. I picked Myles to win the last time out, but he got injured and scratched from the show. I guess I’ll pick him to win again this time. He’s a tough kid. And yes, all you gay porn fans out there, that is THE Dakota Cochrane listed among the fighters. Yup. The guy did gay porn. But hey, to his credit, he’s being open and honest about it all, and I’ve got to give the guy respect for that. With that said, I still a lot of gay jokes coming down the pike over the next few weeks. But not today.
