The young and always smiling cast-member of TUF7 and I shared a few words via text message:

PG: Hey Riddle, rumor is you are fighting Dante Rivera at the finale in June. Can you provide any truth to that?
MR: No I can’t, who did you hear that from?
PG: Rumors spread fast on the net. I was hoping to break the news to the world officially.
MR: You’ll just have to wait and see

We’ll know soon enough… Stay tuned!

Jason Guida (17-15), fighting out of the Midwest Training Center (www.mtc-mma.com) in Schaumburg Illinois is the first rumored contestant for TUF8. A light-heavyweight fighter initially scheduled to fight on the inaugural PrimetimeFC show, Guida was pulled off the card to make sure he did not end up injured when he wound up in Las Vegas at the UFC training center. Guida has fought against 7 UFC veterans and holds wins over Marvin Eastman, Ron Faircloth and Mike Van Meer.

The Ultimate Fighter 8 is expected to debut in late August or early September on SpikeTV with a finale planned in December. The show will feature lightweights and light heavyweights. Although Frank Mir and Antonio Noguiera have been rumored as coaches, nothing is set in stone. …Yet!
