One Fighter From New England Looks To Fight His Way Into TUF House


 We all heard the news that the new Ultimate Fighter season 16 was going to be with coaches Shane Carwin and Roy Nelson.  This is set to kick off on FX on September 14th, 2012, which is a Friday.  We also knew that it was going to be in the 170lb division.  What we didn't know is that New England is fortunate enough to have awesome fighters and one fighter from around here has made it!  MMAJunkie.com has posted the 32 fighters who are fighting to get in the house.  Jon Manley from Team Link Ludlow with a 7-1 record has made it on the 32 fighter roster and is looking to fight his way into the house.  Jon has three submission victories in his career and they were all rear naked choke.  He also has four decision victories in his career and his only loss was a decision to Dennis Olson at a previous CombatZone.  Jon hasn't fought since October of 2011 but being from a great school as Team Link, you know he will be ready.  We at WesternMassMMA.com wish you the best of luck and we look forward to cheering you on.  For the full 32 fighters that made it click the source below.
