sevr1 - Why is everyone whining? (besides "it's the UG")
Cain is still rehabbing. Who cares if he films TUF?!
Will this be filmed in Spanish then? Or is everyone just assuming it is because of the location?? 
bricht07 - Will this be filmed in Spanish then? Or is everyone just assuming it is because of the location??It's on Televisa in Mexico with Mexican fighters pretty safe to say it'll be in Spanish.
Eric Bloodaxe -
I'd prefer that they stopped doing TUFs rather than going global.
I'm sure the people in those countries are happy to have them though for the exposure for the sport at home. Viewers from the States need to stop thinking that everything revolves around their wants. Mexico is a hotbed for combat sports, if MMA can become big there, that's another place the UFC is making money.
And for those saying it will delay the fight, Cain said last year that he was out until November this year, so at most it's probably delaying the fight a week or two.
C'mon we just want to see the fight, do we really have to wait till Nov 15th? Why does this shit have to take so long? Just have the damn fight! !!
rMar89 - I'm really starting to hate having Champs coach tuf. Does nothing but delay the fight.This.
Werdums mother is from Spain he lived in spain about 10 years. The funny thing is that he has a brazillian mexican accent when he speaks, he speaks spanish 100%. Thats awesome.
Heard that Broly is gonna comeback from the dead to audition for this.
He is gonna steal the spotlight from the coaches.
I don't like this at all. This is their Heavyweight Champion of the World and they can't put him in a fight without first putting him in some dog and pony show to try and troll for a few thousand extra PPV buys.
Why does that fucking egg of goof have to cheapen everything.
I love these "big" announcements. Always gives the whiners subject matter to bitch and moan about.

Gfropr -MITman2k -Gfropr -Very true. The fighters they cast will have a huge impact on the success of the show.xsrg95 -oh and only non-hispanics think cain spainsh will be a problem when trying to connect with the fans.

It could be ok, as long as Cain is not speaking on an extended basis. Heck he's not known for being loquacious even in english. If it's bad enough, they add add spanish subtitiels (as was even done for some of the britts on season 9 oddly enough.) Ultimately, I think it's going to be the quality of the new fighters and their abilitiy to connect with the audience that will determine how successful TUF is.
If Cain is indeed going to be injured for even longer than expected , (as has been rumored) I don't have too much of a problem with this. They probably want to give cain some more facetime and exposure(as they keep their push into latin america), even if it is on a tv show.

Brilliant!

Cain wasn't coming back until November anyway, quit bitchin.
Glovegate -That's what I meant when I agreed the fighters they cast will play a role in the success. Be it the crazy shit they do, their back story, or just personality alone. Who knows maybe we'll find the next Broly.Gfropr -MITman2k -Gfropr -Very true.

Very not true, bro. The quality of the fighters is irrelevant.
People want stars. If they tune in, it will be for Cain. Search your feelings, Luke. You know this to be true. The quality of the fighters on nations was probably similar to any other TUF and nobody watched it because it was Cote vs Noke. Two guys who, as someone said, should be fighting TUF'ers, not coaching them. Mean, I know. I'm sorry but it's true.
The women's fights on the last TUF were higher rated and wmma is way below in terms of quality.
I really don't think anyone cares about the fighters on TUF unless they're doing something stupid that isn't fight related.
Very disappointing to hear Werdum's being sidelined again. I'd rather see him fight while Cain recovers.
Funny how all the MMA "fans" on this forum and whining about a fighters Spanish instead of getting pumped about how big this even can be. Mexico City is a huge deal, and think about the exposure for Latino fighters. This is truly a huge announcement.
