It’s not too difficult to piss off a fight fan.
The UFC had finally regained some interest in the dwindling TUF brand with the introduction of a certain Conor McGregor and fans were actually getting back on board with the reality show.
But then baseball happened.
ALERT! @UltimateFighter returns NEXT week (Oct.21) w/ a brand new episode of #TUF22! *Due to #ALDS pic.twitter.com/0mHV3kjpnR

Game five of the ALDS series between the Astros and the Royals took place on Wednesday night which forced a postponement of fight fans’ weekly fix of TUF 22.
And they weren’t happy.
