“These guys are going to completely mock the show. There is no entertainment factor there. Volkanovski and Ortega are decent fighters for small fighters, for midgets but they don't sell. There is no controversy, there is no drama, there is nothing. There is no plot. So I feel bad for the show. I wish I could have been on TUF and given the people what they want,” said Colby.

Returning after a two-year hiatus, the new edition of 'The Ultimate Fighter' will be led by the featherweights (up to 65,7kg) Alexander Volkanovsky e Brian ortega.
