TUF 7 Spoiler Update

Brandon Sene and David Roberts have been picked for TUF 7.

Sene trains out of Gracie Tampa, the same gym that produced “The Ultimate Fighter 5” cast member Allen Berubie and “The Ultimate Fighter 6” stand-out Matt Arroyo. The facility is run by Royce Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt Rob Kahn.

The 26-year-old Sene is a former sniper for the Marines Corps. He spent nearly two years in Iraq with the military and as a PSD contractor before returning to the U.S. to devote himself to MMA.

David Roberts, he man who introduced Quinton “Rampage” Jackson to the world of mixed martial arts, could now find himself being coached by the UFC light heavyweight champion.

Back in 1999, Jackson was still oblivious to the world of MMA. However, Roberts, his high-school buddy and a fellow wrestler, was preparing for an MMA fight and asked Jackson for help. Jackson was soon introduced to the sport of fighting, and he was instantly hooked. He and Roberts would maintain their friendship as both ventured into their respective MMA careers.

Jackson’s is well-documented and full of success. Roberts, though, may be getting his last shot at stardom.
