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.

Maybe it's because i love him, but i'd put in Swanson because of his amazing technical skill. Sure he isn't the face of the bantamweights, but he would be anamzing coach.

I would love to see a Faber/Torres season..
..it would allow Cruz not to get tied up for too long (that way he can have a title defense or two before meeting the winner of Torres/Faber.)
...it would also allow Faber and Torres to get some exposure..I would say they are the two most marketable BW's the UFC has...
I would also love to see Aldo in a tuf season..it is wayyyyyy to soon though...the casual mma fans need to have the treat of watching this guy fight before he gets caught up in TUF.

Yeah, I think a Faber/Torres TUF would be a great idea... both are big characters and it would really help gain exposure to the mainstream UFC audience and people who weren't familiar with WEC.
