I don't think the point of TUF is to get good fighters in the org. Its to get the UFC name out there and build a fan base. As well as building a fanbase for certain fighters. Most of the TUF fighters end up fighting in the UFC anyway. I liked the first season, didn't watch the second and thought the third was pretty lame. The fourth is called "last chance" and its filled with mostly seasoned veterans and it ought to be really good. There are some really good names on the list. I just like being able to watch MMA on tv on a weekly basis even if it isn't the best competition.
