Obligatory ‘TUF 17′ Hype of the Day: Dana White Says One Contestant is “Scaring the Shit Out of Everyone”

(I have no joke prepared. I simply wanted another opportunity to remind you that this was a thing that happened.) Desperate times call for desperate measures, Nation. And since the ratings for The Ultimate Fighter are nose-diving faster than Charlie Sheen into a silica sandbox, old Dana White has had to step up his obligatory pre-TUF hype a notch. You might recall this from last season's TUF: Smashes, which Dana declared to be the "CRAZIEST SEASON OF TUF EVER!!!!" in the weeks leading up to it; a claim that -- although we cannot refute -- we are going to go right ahead and call bullshit on. So perhaps you should take his recent bit of insider info regarding The Ultimate Fighter 17 with a grain (or a 10-pound bag) of salt. The Baldfather recently told MMAFighting that there is apparently one contestant on the upcoming season so dangerous, so terrifying, that he is "scaring the shit out of" his fellow contestants:

I know you guys are going to call bulls--- on me and all that (Ed note: Well, at least he's honest.). I told you guys, last season of The Ultimate Fighter was the worst season in the history of TUF (Again, props DW). This next season is so awesome and so badass. We have a guy on this season of The Ultimate Fighter, every fight he's in, someone goes to the hospital. The whole house is terrified of this guy. F-- terrified.
