James Krause explains why he wanted to do The Ultimate Fighter despite already being on the UFC roster

LAS VEGAS — It’s been five years since James Krause had a chance on The Ultimate Fighter Live. He lost by knockout to Justin Lawrence in the elimination round and never made it into the house for TUF 15 in 2012.

Krause regretted the experience so much that he threw his name in the hat for The Ultimate Fighter 25: Redemption — even though he’s already firmly entrenched on the UFC roster.

Part of the allure of doing TUF 25, which is made up of all former TUF competitors, is getting back into the UFC.
