The article from MSN Sports discusses ten lesser-known winners of "The Ultimate Fighter" (TUF) reality show and provides updates on their current activities. It highlights how many TUF winners have faded into obscurity after their initial success. For instance, Mac Danzig, the winner of TUF 6, has retired from fighting and now focuses on vegan activism and acting. Jesse Taylor, who won TUF 7 but was initially stripped of his title due to a pre-fight incident, has since fought in various promotions and now coaches. Efrain Escudero, TUF 8 winner, has had a turbulent career with multiple promotions and now competes in smaller circuits. James Wilks, from TUF 9, retired due to injuries and has turned to producing documentaries on plant-based diets. The article also touches on other winners like Court McGee, who continues to fight in the UFC, and Ryan Bader, who has found success in Bellator after his UFC stint. Each fighter's journey post-TUF reflects the challenges of maintaining a career in MMA, with many transitioning to coaching, other professions, or dealing with the physical toll of the sport.
