You might not recognize this fighter, and if you do you probably remember him as the thief in the first season of The Ultimate Fighter. To which Hoger stated he made that decision himself.
“It was a good time. I had fun with it,” Hoger said. “You need to create interest and I knew that. We would have these huge production meetings where they would tell us, ‘Look, we need more drama. We need something we can sell.’ They were telling us all the time that the show’s not going to make it. We tried to create little scenarios where we could get more drama out of the characters.”
Another TUF complaint came from season 7’s Mike Dolce who said that producers would purposely supply the house with an abundance of liquor not lean chicken breast or vegetables that fighters need before a fight. To try to create “Drunken Hijinks.”
You might remember the name Gabe Ruediger, who didn’t make weight for his fight in season 5 and is now exiled from the UFC. Joe Lauzon defended his cast mate saying that his excessive eating and weight-cutting woes happened far apart from each other, yet were spliced together for effect.
I hope people realize that one, the UFC is gay, and two that they are not concerned about the best interest of the fighters. They are concerned about the ratings, how much money they can make, and how many of their penises can fit in Joe Rogan’s mouth.
