| Biggest TUF Loser?
It's funny that people so often speak of TUF as something that builds careers to often undeserving fighters. But careers have been ruined just as they've been built.
Every season there's at least one guy who embarrasses himself and sabotages his own career. It's pretty obvious who it is this season.
But my question is, who do you think from all 6 seasons embarrassed himself the most?

Gabe by far.
Andy may have bawled like a little girl, but so did Sammy from TUF 2 when Cummo knocked him out. Andy may have fought a stupid fight, but at least he made it far enough to fight. Gabe showed up way overweight, didn't do shit to try and make the cut in the time prior to getting picked to fight, and then refused to put forth a real effort to cut the weight when he really needed to.
Cake > Gabe.

Why is Mike Whitehead on the list... I havent really seen anything from him since TUF, have been curious what happened to him. He looked like a tough SOB.
I would say it is Joey or Noah at he top of the list. Noah probable even more because he won his fight then left. Where if noah didnt leave he would of at the least been on an undercard or two.
Joey lost his fight, but it did seem like Dana liked him, so we would of seen him on some Fight Nights etc...

yeah, the worst thing Whitehead did was look like a fish out of water against Rashad Evans. He choked in the fight, but I'm not sure he belongs here.

Whitehead had a staff infection around the time of his fight with Rashad. It's not commonly known because Whitehead didn't want to come off as a cry baby.

| I am pretty certain that Mike Whitehead is now fighting in the IFL at light heavyweight, and last I saw he was doing pretty damn good there too.
He is there with Alex Schoenhaurer..... or however the hell you spell his name.

Noah Inhoefer - at least I've all these other guys fight somewhere since the their shows ended.
But a close second is easily Alan Berube (Lobsta). Had he gotten into a decent camp after TUF and trained full-time, he could have had a solid career.
