I knew a guy that tried out for the show, I dont know if he made it on or not?
His name is Tom Matijacic, he was the LHW champ for FCFF out of Portland OR. If anyone has any news for that let me know. Hopefully he did good.
that guy is not even on sherdog
He just turned pro, plus not all pro fighters are on Sherdog.
i didnt know he just turnred pro that why he is not on sherdog

FiveOuncesOfPain.com has confirmed that lightweight fighter “Sugar” Shane Nelson is a member of the cast for the upcoming eighth season of the UFC and Spike TV’s hit reality television show “The Ultimate Fighter.”
Two separate sources, speaking on the condition of anonymity, have revealed the news to Five Ounces of Pain within the last week.
Nelson, 9-3 according to Sherdog’s fight finder, trains under UFC lightweight champion B.J. Penn in Hawaii. Having fought primarily in Hawaii, the Hilo resident has recorded notable victories over Harris Sarmiento and Kaleo Kwan.
TUF 8 will feature lightweight and light heavyweight fighters all vying for the right to become the next “Ultimate Fighter” by winning a multi-fight six-figure contract with the UFC. Several sources have indicated that the taping for the upcoming season was completed late last week.
The new season is expected to premiere on Wednesday, September 17. The TUF 8 premiere will be preceded by a live UFC Fight Night 15 telecast that is expected to feature matchups between Mac Danzig vs. Clay Guida and Houston Alexander vs. Eric Schafer.
The coaches for the show will be UFC interim heavyweight champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogeuira and former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir.

Multiple sources have informed FiveOuncesOfPain.com in recent days that light heavyweight prospect Vinicius “Pezao” Magalhaes will be a part of the eighth season of “The Ultimate Fighter” reality television series on Spike TV.
Magalhaes, whose nickname, “Pezao” means “Bigfoot” in Portuguese, is 2-2 with one no contest according to Sherdog’s fight finder. He trains out of Team Quest in Temecula, Calif., where he also serves as a trainer.
A native of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Magalhaes is a Royler Gracie jiu-jitsu black belt who has competed in several top-level grappling events. While competing for the Professional Submission League, Magalhaes reportedly recorded a victory against renowned Abu Dhabi champion Robert Drysdale, who incidentally is slated to serve as an assistant coach on TUF 8.
Magalhaes is the second fighter confirmed by Five Ounces of Pain to be a part of the upcoming season of TUF 8. On Tuesday, we confirmed that Hawaiian lightweight Shane Nelson will be involved with the show.

UFC President Dana White is comparing one of the lightweights on the upcoming season of "The Ultimate Fighter" to middleweight champion Anderson Silva.
"I was going off when I saw this guy," White said in an interview with Yahoo! Sports. "He's 24 and he's destroying people. It's sick how bad ass he is. I'm getting goose bumps talking to you about him."
The eighth season features light-heavyweight and lightweight contestants coached by Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Frank Mir.
Thirty-two fighters will be narrowed down to sixteen through elimination bouts on the season premiere. White wouldn't reveal any names, but here's what we know so far:
Light Heavyweights: Krzysztof Soszynski, Shane Primm, Lance Evans, Ryan Jimmo, Ryan Bader, Vinicius Magalhaes.
Lightweights: Shane Nelson, Junie Allen Browning.

I just hope the fights are as good as they were in TUF7! having twice as many as previous seasons kicks ass! Great Coaches will help the guys BJJ alot but not so much heat between the coaches I dont think, they are both pretty classy chilled guys so we wont much coach rivalry i dont think, but the main thing i hope for is that the fighters dont spread their shitt up the walls
