Another Spoiler for TUF 7

All American wrestler C.B. Dollaway has been named as another cast member for the 7th season of 'The Ultimate Fighter'.

Dollaway is a former high school state champion, a junior college national champion, and a 2005 collegiate All-American while at ASU. His transition into MMA has been a smooth one. Despite his wrestling background, he’s posted five stoppages — four by way of knockout.

During a 13-month career, Dollaway, an Arizona Combat Sports team member, has faced some solid competition in some top organizations. Victories over Hans Marrero (11-5), Joe Bunch (7-1) and George Hartman (3-2) have come in fight promotions such as HDNet Fights, the IFO, and Rage in the Cage. He made his MMA debut at a November 2006 Cage Fighing Federation show and earned a 17-second victory with a knockout via slam.

We will be updating the rest of the cast as it's revealed.

The coaches will be Forrest Griffin and light heavyweight champ Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson. The coaches will also be battling in the cage after the season of TUF 7.

Any time you get a wrestler of Dollaways caliber, it usually spells trouble for not all but most of the competition. It just depends on how well Dollaway has been able to crossover and adapt to MMA from wrestling. As history has shown us, wrestlers..... ie. Coture,Kerr,Hughes,Kosheck,Sherk,Coleman just to name a few, have faired rather well in MMA. Curious to see Dollaway and the next season.
