    TUF Nation's teenaged competitor Tyler "Wild Thing" Manawaroa (10-0), a semifinalist on the show, won't be offered a contract with the UFC even if he wins the show (the show has already wrapped so presumably he doesn't win). The reason for this is an Instagram photo Manawaroa posted (below). Although Manawaroa has apologized for the image and says that he's considered "dark-skinned" himself and was being ironic, the UFC isn't having it (or him), end of story.

    "Get used to these bars, kid" is a Back to the Future reference, FWIW.
