Apparently there are rumblings that they want to do a BW/FW Ultimate Fighter soon. I'd love to see a Faber vs Cruz (or Scotty J) or Faber vs Torres TUF season.
On top of that, you could really bring in some lesser known names and start to build both divisions. TUF has brought us guys like Griffin, Evans, Swick, Koscheck, Florian, Sanchez, Maynard, etc. This could be an opportunity for ZUFFA to basically create their own stars. You introduce your 2 biggest BW names (Faber/Torres) so casual fans get familiar with them, then bring in the competitors. Once the season is over, people will probably recognize them more than they will a Wagney Fabiano, Rani Yahya, etc. Build a nice future for the division, while further establishing the stars you already have. They've never had this kind of chance to do that.
