TUF 8 already making headlines
Now that the Jesse Taylor drama is in the rear view mirror, the shock of C.B. Dollaway’s loss has worn off and the reality of Amir Sadollah’s victory has finally sunken in, it is time to look ahead to a new season of The Ultimate Fighter. The eight installment of The Ultimate Fighter will air for the first time on September 17th on Spike TV. One of the fighters to star on the new season already has quite a shadow looming over him.
Shane “Sugar” Nelson trains under B.J. Penn in his native Hawaii. Nelson claims a 9-3 record but may be more recognized for training under the current UFC lightweight champion. And very soon, the entire country will get to see how much Penn’s tutelage has paid off.
The Ultimate Fighter has blossomed into one of the major draws for the UFC and with each new season, the anticipation of the upcoming series is heightened. Furthermore, it has provided the UFC with some very formidable fighters throughout its first seven seasons. Nelson could be the next in line to follow in the illustrious footsteps of the ultimate champions who came before him. Nelson has already been trained by a champion, now he just needs to mimic his mentor and win like a champion.
