In the wake of news surrounding Shane Carwin being injured and replaced by Matt Mitrione for the season finale fight against Roy Nelson, The Ultimate Fighter 16 ratings actually went up. Just a week ago, the numbers hit an all-tine low of 643,000 viewers and caused some analysts to say it was panic time. The figures this week went up 25% from last weeks ratings to just over 800,000, a fact no doubt bringing some relief to the higher-ups at Zuffa.

I have no faith that any of the guys from the season will make it into the UFC other than the finalists.
Definitely a forgettable season.
Ratings schmatings. TUF 16 is boring. The end.
