The Ultimate Fighter 22 tryouts pushed back one month
Less than one week ago it was announced that the UFC will be hosting tryouts for the upcoming 22nd season of The Ultimate Fighter. The tryouts were originally scheduled to take place on March 27 at the Palace Station Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. While the venue itself didn’t change, the date did. The tryouts will now take place one month later; the new date is April 27.
The new season will feature professional lightweights and welterweights fighters with winning records. Many fighters throughout our region stated they would be making the journey out west to follow their dreams when the announcement was made. The list of local fighters include (in no particular order):
- Ben Sergent
- Rob Covington
- Que Parks
- Matt Metts
- Mark Cherico
- Khama Worthy
- Justin Steave
- Mike Wilkins
- Adam Townsend
- Dustin Walden
- Tom Shoaff
- Cameron VanCamp
- James Mogollon
- Austin Tweedy
- Joe Lile
- Dustin Parrish
- Chris Curtis
- Robert White
- Matt Reilman
- Muhammad Abdullah
These are just the fighters that have confirmed that are going. Now that the date has been pushed backed one month, how many more fighters will make the trip now that they have time to make the necessary arrangements.
