Prior to and throughout the broadcast of "The Ultimate Fighter: Season 20," UFC president Dana White boasted about how good the field was because all of the best strawweights in the world were in the house.
Fairly quickly, though, that proved to be untrue.
Paige Van Zant, now ranked No. 7, wasn’t in the house. Only 20 at the time of the filming, she was too young to appear on the show. Claudia Gadelha, now ranked No. 2, also wasn’t there, because she was concerned about the frequent weight cuts she’d have to make.
And most significantly, Joanna Jedrzejczyk wasn’t involved.
