With "The Ultimate Fighter 12" winding down, the UFC is already working on the next season. Yesterday in Las Vegas, Dana White joined UFC matchmaker Joe Silva and officials from Spike television to take a look at roughly 300 prospects for TUF 13.
The cast of characters included jiu-jitsu whiz Andre Galvao along with former Strikeforce fighters like Lewis Taylor, Shamar Bailey and Zak Cummings. Those guys certainly have a legitimate shot at making the cast.
There were also some former TUF cast members, Frank Lester and Jeremiah Riggs, who came to Las Vegas looking for a second chance.
A 51-year-old kickboxer took a shot at his dream. To no one's surprise, he fell a little bit short. A trash-talking wacko, who was sporting a shiny championship belt, also got the boot.
Cagewriter spoke with Adam Hill from the Las Vegas Review-Journal, who attended the TUF 13 tryout at Red Rock Resort and Casino, for a behind-the-scenes look.
