The Ultimate Fighter 7 Format Change

Mmajunkie.com is reporting that they've discovered the "Big Change" Dana White has been talking about for the Ultimate Fighter Season 7.

As mmajunkie.com reports..."According to a source close to the show, “The Ultimate Fighter 7” will start with 32 cast members — not the usual 16 — and every one of them will have to fight as soon as the show begins. The 16 winners earn a spot in the house, and the 16 losers are sent packing for home.

Those fights will likely be televised at a breakneck speed, meaning the season’s first couple episodes should include 16 fights in total. That’s a far cry from past seasons of the reality series, when the first fight of the season sometimes didn’t take place until a second or even third episode.

“The Ultimate Fighter 7” features UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton Jackson and season-one winner Forrest Griffin as coaches. The season features only middleweight (185-lb.) fighters and debuts April 2 on Spike TV. A stacked UFC Fight Night 13 event precedes the season premier of the show.

The likely format change should be warmly received by critics of the show who complain that the series focuses more on the drama and in-house antics than it does training and the actual fights. Additionally, many of the show’s weaker cast members will likely be eliminated before they’re even technically a part of the cast, assuring that only the cream of the crop are in the house for the duration of the show.

Thiago Silva Interview from 1-11-08

Here is an article from tatame.com. The English isn't great, so I've done some editing(highlighted by the ' '). If you want the original article, check out tatame.com. I really like Silva, he looked like a beast against Alexander

By Eduardo Ferreira

After 'beating' the Italian Alessio Sakara and the ADCC and Jiu-Jitsu World Champion Marcelinho Garcia, the unbeaten Thiago Silva (12 victories, 10 by knock-out) announced his leaving to American Top Team (ATT). In interview for site TATAME, Thiago said that he is ready to go to United States by the end of the month. Thiago, will fight associated with ATT against Rashid Evans 'at' UFC 'on' May 24th, told on a chat that you can check below, about his leaving from Macaco Gold Team, his connection with Team Link and his ex-partners on Chute Boxe Mauricio Shogun and Wanderlei Silva.

How did you change to ATT?

I’m anxious, I can’t see the time to get there. That’s a good change and I’m really happy. I’m on the biggest Vale-Tudo event of the world and needed a big infrastructure, that doesn’t exist in Brasil yet, that’s why I choose to change. I did research and saw that ATT is one of the best gyms of the world and has an incredible human material. I’ll move to ATT by the end of the month, but I don’t know where I would live, the people from ATT is taking care of this for me.

So you left Macaco, Chute Boxe and Team Link?

To tell the truth, I was training at Macaco and doing an exchange with Chute Boxe. The only link with Team Link was the owner from the gym, Marcos ALvan, who was my manager on UFC. I never trained on Team Link. I only trained with Napão on Macaco’s gym and it was an excellent training, really hard and 'determined'.

Who is your manager now?

Now I’m with Alex Davis, the same manager from Thiago Tavares, Roan Jucão, Antonio Pezão, and others.

When is your next fight in UFC?

I’ll fight against Rashad Evans at May 24th. I wanna continue unbeaten, that’s my goal. I know he likes to get down and work on ground n’ pound. He has a heavy hand too, but nothing that scares me. I’ll work on a better way to defeat him, because I wanna fight for the UFC belt this year.

After this fight, who would you like to fight?

There’s a lot of guys that I would like to fight in UFC, but I think I would 'have' a great fight against Lyoto Machida and Chuck Liddell, because they like an exchanging fight.

You used to train with Mauricio Shogun and Wanderlei Silva on Chute Boxe and they’re in your UFC 'weightclass'. Will you fight with them?

No problem with that. I’m a professional. That thing: friends, friends, business is business. Happened 'like' that on my last fight 'with' Houston Alexander. He is a great friend of mine, was my first American friend and happened to fight with him.

How are your trainings?

I’m coming back from vacation, so I’m restarting my training emphasizing my physical preparation. Taking care on the cardiovascular part.

Speaking on Houston Alexander, did you expecte so fast of a fight?

Actually, no. I expected leaving a little beaten, because he is a tough fighter, with experience and with a heavy hand, but I 'had the' right strategy and won fast.

What does Jorge Patino Macaco represent in your life?

Macaco was the guy that gave me the opportunity to start on Vale-Tudo, besides giving me the Jiu-Jitsu’s black belt. He represents the beginning of my MMA carrer.

Like Macaco, did you have any rivalry with Ryan Gracie?

I had no rivalry with him. That thing was between them. Like I defended hid flag, stays that thing of rivalry. But I has nothing personal with Ryan, as I don’t have with nobody. How many fights you still have on UFC? I renovated for more four fights and I’ll do the first of them against Rashad Evans.
