But “almost” is the operative word here. One fighter was left out. Which meant that, despite surviving a dangerous Giga Chikadze to score a last-minute submission win, featherweight Austin Springer (11-3) was left to sit alone in The Ultimate Fighter Gym kitchen while another four men celebrated their career boosts (via Twitter ). This sport ain’t easy.

With a refreshing but digestible format that has fans of the sport responding, this series has shown to have legs beyond its summer seasons while serving as a crockpot for contenders whom the UFC matchmakers can use for future events. With that trend in mind, I’ve decided to take a look at the winning fighters regardless of whether or not they won a UFC contract while grading their performances in regards to their probability of returning to a UFC stage. And with this most recent show setting a record in rewarded contracts, I also touch on the prospects of each winner’s ventures into his respective division. * * * * * Dwight Grant Weight class : Welterweight Result : Dwight Grant def. Tyler Hill by second-round knockout Grade : B Summary : It’s admittedly hard to not want to give a guy an A for going out there and finishing his opponent in a high-pressure situation, but given the gamut of possible outcomes and performances, I believe this is a somewhat generous grade.

If he wants to get noticed by the UFC, and he does, it’s the kind of fight he’d probably better win. But here’s the problem for a pro fighter at the local level who’s trying to make it to the big time: How are you supposed to train full-time like a professional, when you don’t exactly get paid like a professional?
