Al at Brooklyn MMA

Just about a month removed from the TUF Finale I’ve had a lot of people asking what’s next for Al? What’s the plan? What’s he been up to? When might his next fight be?

Three months of intense training, seclusion from the world, and three fights in three weeks is a very difficult task to ask of any fighter. With that in mind to answer the biggest question people have had in regards to what Al’s been up to, he’s been letting his body heal, and enjoying the summer and being back in the real world.

Ultimate Fighter to drop LIVE format?

Check out THIS article via MMA Junkie that discusses the Ultimate Fighter switching back to the old TV format. With a new season on the way the show, which despite it’s popularity failed to reach ratings as high as previous seasons on Spike TV. Dana White has hinted the show will switch back to it’s old format, but remain on Friday nights. This also means fighters would only have to film the show for six weeks, opposed to the grueling twelve weeks this season. Many people are conflicted if the LIVE format is the issue, or if it’s having the show on a Friday night. Personally I like the LIVE fights, I think Friday night is just a tough time slot to see good ratings. What do you think?
