- It is news to nobody that The Ultimate Fighter has been downright aching in the ratings department. It has been on a steady slide ever since the ends TUF10, the all-heavyweight season that featured YouTube sensation Kimbo Slice.
The UFC has tried numerous ways to bring fans back to the once-popular reality-show-fighting-tournament hybrid. Blockbuster coaching match-ups like Junior dos Santos vs. Brock Lesnar and Georges St-Pierre vs. Josh Koscheck. Injecting melodrama and shenanigans with Jason “Mayhem” Miller vs. Michael Bisping and Roy Nelson vs. Shane Carwin. Switching the very nature of the show with TUF: Live.
Nothing has worked so far and if the controversial pairing of Chael Sonnen and Jon Jones does not turn things around, the UFC is going to need to shake things up in a big way.
So, how can they do this? What can they do to make the twentieth season of TUF its best ever? Find out right here! http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1406524-7-ways-to-reinvent-the-ultimate-fighter#/articles/1406524-7-ways-to-reinvent-the-ultimate-fighter | |

| I am down for bring back country vs country and TUF come back. I was saying in some other article about how the ufc should look at the olympics to find more female fighters to add to the roster. | |

| Freaks and Geeks always get the ratings over developing fighters learning their craft.
"Purists" want the developing fighters ... but this doesn't pay the bills... but watching Joe Rogan fight his way to the top through guys like Ariel Helwani or Greg Jackson would be cool.
Steroid cheats vs clean fighters.... Dana vs anyone.... B- Celebrities vs disgraced politicians.... heh
BRING ON THE FREAKS AND GEEKS! | |

| I liked the comeback TUF and think that is a solid way to go. I also think a female TUF would be a good call just for boosting the roster... but not likely for viewership numbers. The "TUF World Cup" idea is pretty cool too IMO | |

| Yeah I'd love to see another comeback show. I think that was one of the best seasons. But I guaruntee you they won't offer a title shot to the winner again. That shit nearly tore a whole in the universe last time. | |
