where in the hell did you get that list?? As far as I know most MMA sites are not reporting who's in after the UFC got pissed about the leaks for TUF 7. I only recognize two of those names.. which means I'm not a totally MMA dork of course anyone who's watched all of the TUF's will recognize Ross Pointon
http://mmaspot.net/showthread.php?t=3841 Not sure how solid this is but I thought I'd share it anyway. I do know for a fact that Ryan wanted to TRYOUT and left several months ago to train out in the US mainland. I never heard if he actually did or not. So it really hit me when I saw him on a list off a site nowhere related to Guam. So I'm assuming he did get a shot at the 32 listed above.
got this off of mmaplayground.com TEAM UK:Michael Bisping MAKE IT TO THE 32: James Bryant(1-0) //155 Harvey Harra(5-3) //155 Jeff Lawson(12-2) //155 Andre Winner(9-2-1)//155 Dean Amasinger(4-1) //170 James Bateman(0-0) //170 Dave Falkner(2-1) //170 Che Mills(6-1) //170 Tommy McGuire(5-3) //170 Nick Osipczak(3-0)//170 Alex Reid(8-8-1) //170
I doubt Ross Pointon got on, Hes already been on TUF and except for being there to fight whenever he was called upon he basically sucked.
He did go to the tryouts.. I know that much. He is just 2-2 since his last fight in the UFC though...
GOT IT FROM SHERDOG...........UPDATED LISTING. I recognize a couple names. Ryan is still on this list and it looks like IRON MIKE AINA from Hawaii in on this list as well. Remember him fighting on Guam in Pacific Xtreme Combat. TEAM USA: Dan Henderson (Vinicius Magalhaes-BJJ // Krzysztof Soszynski-Stand Up) Josh Souder 7-2 // 155lbs Daniel Pineda 7-1 // 155lbs Charles Blanchard 6-2 // 170lbs Damarques Johnson 10-6 // 170lbs Cleyburn Walker 5-1 // 170lbs Intel on the American team has been weak. More knowledge would be nice. Please hit this thread up with some substance if you got it. James Birdsley 33-6 // 155lbs Lyle Beerbohm 8-0 // 155lbs Muhsin Corbbrey 7-3 // 155lbs Conor Heun 8-2 // 155lbs Matt Veach 10-0 // 170lbs Nathan Gerrard 10-0 // 170lbs Anthony Lapsley 14-4 // 170lbs Jacob Volkmann 8-0 // 170lbs Donnie Liles 12-5 Luke Riddering 2-0 Jose Santibanez 7-2 Jack Montgomery 5-4 Mike Aina 11-6-1 Jay Buck 11-8 Steve Sharp 22-10 Ray Elbe 20-11 Travis Marx 11-1 Derek Downey 10-3 Eric Marriot 6-0 James Krause 8-0 Mike Budnik 7-1 Chris Barrera 8-3-1 Steven Siler 9-6 Anthony Pettis 5-0 Brian McLaughlin 5-0 Mikey Gomez 9-4 Steve Berger 19-19-2 Corey Mahon 8-1 Gregg Dalton 7-2 James Head 4-0 John Franchi 4-0 Paul Bird 4-1 Ed Blake 2-0 Rich Taylor 5-1 Toby Grear 6-5 James Wilks 5-2 Mike Medrano 4-2 Waylon Lowe 3-2 Jeremy Kitts 1-0 Ryan Bigler 2-1 Eric Bradley 2-1 Jake Hecht 2-1 Anthony Fernandez 2-1
LOL gotta love having 2 guys who were on the last TUF not co-coaching.... I mean that's kinda absurd.
Good to see Aina in there. He had a nice bout with Nick Diaz a while back. Tough kid. I recognize Mike Budnik as well--only because he was just choked out by Shane Roller in the WEC.
I also recognized Muhsin Corbbrey. His last fight was a loss to Nick Diaz. hell they should just put Nick Diaz on there too
