The Ultimate Fighter Season 7: Show Changes and Fighter Rumors
By CagE | January 30, 2008
With The Ultimate Fighter 7 rumors filling the web pages, we get word that the show is starting things off a little different this season. First off, the show will start with 32 contestants instead of 16 like previous seasons. The show will have the 32 fighter fight to make the final 16 cut that will be invited to stay in the house.
Here’s the latest from the Junkie:
According to a source close to the show, “The Ultimate Fighter 7” will start with 32 cast members — not the usual 16 — and every one of them will have to fight as soon as the show begins. The 16 winners earn a spot in the house, and the 16 losers are sent packing for home.
Those fights will likely be televised at a breakneck speed, meaning the season’s first couple episodes should include 16 fights in total. That’s a far cry from past seasons of the reality series, when the first fight of the season sometimes didn’t take place until a second or even third episode.

January 31st, 2008 at 5:22 pm
Theres a buzz around Mass about Pat Schultz making it to vegas for the cut any truth to this rumor?
January 31st, 2008 at 7:37 pm

February 1st, 2008 at 9:59 pm

February 12th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
I like this format better than watching them workout. More fights the better.
February 12th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Smitty74 …how would you know? what do you do at the school? clean the bathrooms?
February 12th, 2008 at 9:43 pm
I heard Smitty74 handles the linens, underwear, jocks, ball sweat towels.
February 13th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
on regards to pat schultz…the vacation story may very well be a cover….be looking for those frosted tips on april 2nd
February 14th, 2008 at 9:17 am
Hey, schultzfan….I have never handled the linens
February 17th, 2008 at 8:34 am
Shultz is on it… i train at his gym…he got choked out in his first fight
February 17th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
Bob, Has Smitty 74 ever handled your linens?
February 17th, 2008 at 6:53 pm
Sorry, I told a blatant lie, Smitty doesn’t handle the sweaty ball linens, just the sweaty balls.
February 18th, 2008 at 7:13 am
Bob? is that true?
February 18th, 2008 at 8:52 pm

February 27th, 2008 at 4:40 pm

February 27th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
^^^ I think they are fighting in July
February 28th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
Schultzy is the real deal.. Trot52 &Smitty74 are spooning during the day..
February 29th, 2008 at 6:01 am
BDF wears Mass Destruction T-Shirts to little league so the other parents think he’s tough
February 29th, 2008 at 7:21 am
That’s cuz BDF’s boy hasn’t gotten him the new one yet.. Still waiting…
February 29th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
BDF and Smitty74 = MMA Noobs
March 5th, 2008 at 6:57 am

March 25th, 2008 at 1:04 pm

April 23rd, 2008 at 9:59 am
getting rid of Bradley was a misstake! herpes II is no different that anyother disease out there the dr. didn’t explain the whole stipulation of it!
May 21st, 2008 at 7:01 pm
Does anyone know how long the guys stay in the house? How long does it take to film the whole season?
June 11th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
Sounds like someone has herpes II. Does anyone know the scoop on the fighter getting kicked off the show. I just saw the preview for the last episode, and apparently someone makes to the gig, but busts a window out of a limo (or something?) and gets kicked out of the UFC forever. Any info would be good!
June 11th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
I think they stay in the house for 6 weeks. I dont know who gets kicked out but I want to find out.
June 11th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
what the heck is going on…who is getting kicked off and why? All they show is two limos pulling up towards each other and then you see Dana saying ??? is done!
Anyone know???
June 11th, 2008 at 11:53 pm
It’s gotta be out of Jesse Taylor, CB Dollaway and Amir.
Jesse Taylor seems like the type to do something crazy like that, if it’s out of CB or Amir, it may be CB though. That’d suck, cuz the 3 of them are all really good.
Jesse’s got inhuman strength, cardio and ground ‘n pound.
Amir seems like a great all around, balls to the wall fighter.
CB is just skilled and ridiculously vicious.
Sucks for whoever it is.
June 13th, 2008 at 2:31 am
Keep in mind it says he’s out of the finale, not the final, so it could be any fighter from the house due to fight on the undercard of the ultimate finale. I’m thinking jeremy may as he was due for a matt brown rematch but it looks like Brown is fighting somebody from another season now. Face it they have singled jeremy out as the a$$ of the house all season, what better way to end it all than by kicking him out. good riddance.
June 15th, 2008 at 1:43 am
Well if you watch the recording at the bottom of my post you will notice that when he said “I was shocked, the coaches were shocked….” you see Rampage looking pissed and Forest smiling.. so its gotta be CB. He probably loses and gets pissed and starts breaking $hit.. Or it could be somebody else off Rampage’s team that was on the card.
