They could make it more primal....take it to the mountains or the woods....rough it out.
Each fighter gets a tent. But they have cooks cook them whatever they want. They all train, coaches get driven in each day. Each team gets a cage and some tires and hammer and rope, build 2 training facilities like The Pit.
Could be interesting.
Or have real coaches from the major camps have a TUF like tournament. Do 2-3 seasons, then mix up who's team fights who....then it will be real coaching, they have their own facilities, but they have to pick the fighters that TUF shows them after they're up to "UFC's standards"....so they can't bring ringers and so the teams don't have unfair advantages or affiliations with the fighters before they start training in the TUF competition. Just house each team in a hotel (sponsor for the show) closest to the training camp.....or rent a house close by if a hotel won't take you.
Problem with all this is the deal TUF has with the athletic commission in Nevada...I assume they get a deal for the judging and officiating and having security at all the TUF events...with EMT and cops and all that. That might be a pain in the ass to setup and organize in another state with people you don't have any affiliation with.
