they may be doing tryouts there and here just so you can get the best of both?!?
If you read the comments to that Brazil post…it states its TUF Brazil…which will only aired there. Its completely separate from TUF 15.
Also, the first sentence says….”It would appear as if the first international edition of the UFC’s reality show”…which means itll be a complete international show, in addition to the original TUF.
Matt Secor. Remember that name for season 15
