TUF 4 RUMORED FIGHTERS Thanks to the boys over at Fight Sport, we have the list of TUF 4 contestants. The Spike TV show, started filming this past Sunday, and the newest installment of the popular reality show will feature a new twist: the fighters will be composed of veteran fighters who have already fought in the UFC. Ultimate Fighter "The Comeback" will feature 16 UFC vets - 8 middleweights and 8 welterweights. The show is scheduled to premiere August 17 on Spike TV. The winner of each weightclass will get an automatic title shot. The show will also abandon the role of coaches and instead use advisors like Randy Couture and George St. Pierre. There are some familiar names on that list to current fans like: Jorge Rivera, Patrick Cote, and Nick Diaz. Matt Lindland was also rumored to be on the show until he signed on with the World Fighting Alliance and he will be facing Rampage Jackson. One interesting name on the list is Keith Hackney. For those of you that remember Keith Hackney fought in some of the early UFC's. Hackney is probably is most famous for his fight against sumo wrestler Emmanuel Yarborough at UFC 3. Or the night he decided to make Joe Son's testicles into his personal punching bag. That'll hurt in the morning The fighter I'm most looking forward to return is Lion's Den fighter Mikey Burnett. His first fight at UFC 16 was and the beatdown he hands out to infamous Luta Livre Eugenio Tadeu is a must see. Actually the best part is the totall look of shock that Tadeu has on his face walking out of the Octagon. One can only wonder how his carrier would have turned out if he didn't break his hand that night. If you guys remember Pat Miletich ended up winning that Lightweight tourney, and the rest is MMA history. Now if they only can get "Crazy" Bob Cook to comeback to the UFC and all would be right in the fight world. Mikey is probably the palest fighter to ever compete in the UFC too Middleweights -Jorge Rivera -Patrick Cote -Charles McCarthy -Keith Hackney -Gideon Ray -Mark Weir -Edwin Dewees -Travis Lutter Welterweights -Matt Serra -Chris Lytle -Shonie Carter -Rich Clementi -Mikey Burnett -Pete Spratt -Nick Diaz -Din Thomas
