Who’s on the hot seat this time around, and who’s most likely to get scorched before the night is over?…
Who’s on the hot seat this time around, and who’s most likely to get scorched before the night is over? Find out below.
Dan Hardy (23-9, 1 NC; 4-3 UFC)
Who he’s facing: Chris Lytle
Why he’s in danger: Hardy managed to avoid the UFC’s informal three strikes policy based primarily on his popularity and his fighting style. If he was a bland, decision-prone wrestler with a buzz cut, he’d be long gone by now.
Duane Ludwig (20-11; 3-2 UFC)
Who he’s facing: Amir Sadollah
Why he’s in danger: His current run in the UFC started with two straight losses, followed by a somewhat lucky split decision win over Nick Osipczak at UFC 122.
Alex Caceres (5-3; 0-1 UFC)
Who he’s facing: Jim Hettes
Why he’s in danger: At least so far, Caceres seems more suited for reality TV than for the Octagon. He’s a character, and every season of TUF needs at least one of those. Once the show’s over, however, you’ve got to earn your keep with your fists.
Jason Reinhardt (20-2; 0-2 UFC)
Who he’s facing: Edwin Figueroa
Why he’s in danger: What does it tell you when a guy’s undefeated outside of the UFC and winless in it? Either he hasn’t fought the toughest competition in the local shows or else he gets a killer case of nerves inside the Octagon.
