Mac Danzig Reveals TUF Editing
Of course, all reality TV is edited to bring about the most entertaining product that can be produced. However, Mac Danzig is giving MMA fans a little bit of insider info regarding The Ultimate Fighter. Currently Danzig is writing a weekly blog for the Orange County Registers newspaper where he recaps the last episode of each TUF show. Here are a couple of editing manipulations we learned via Mac that we would have never have known based on the way the show was presented.
1. Blake’s injury actually happened 1 week prior to even being picked to fight Hightower (the editing made it look like it happened a day before his fight).
2. After Dorian smacked the boom mic, all of the fighters were brought into a meeting with the producers and Price swore up and down that it wouldn’t happen again. The incident of him walking towards the cameraman happened days after the boom mic incident, not the same day as it appeared on the TV show.
