TUF Contestants, Where Are They Now? | Luke Cummo

The Ultimate Fighter is a reality television series produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) which debuted on January 17 2005 and has been running ever since. A huge moment for the company was when the first seasons finale featuring Forrest Griffin versus Stephen Bonnar aired on Spike TV drew millions of eyes to the UFC and the sport itself.

This was just one amazing moment on the television show, the show has had 29 seasons and counting, the show introduced many champions such as TJ Dilashaw, Kamaru Usman, Julianna Pena, Carla Esparza, Micheal Bisping, Rashad Evans, Robert Whittaker, and Rose Namajunas to name a few. It also introduced us to a wide variety of colorful characters that made us laugh, cry, and appreciate who these fighters are a human beings. We will be chatting with some and catching up with what they do now and in this article well be looking at Luke Cummo.

Which season of TUF did Luke Cummo compete in?

He fought on the show way back on the second season and was runner up to Joe “Daddy” Stevenson, despite being picked last by his coach in the opening episode. The fight was so exciting that Dana White gave Cummo a UFC contract despite coming in second place. His UFC record stands 3 wins and 4 losses as of 2008, with his last fight resulting in a loss to Tamdan McCrory at UFC 87. He fought out Serra/Longo for the duration his career.

People may remember him for vicious Muay Thai and his veganism, spiritual beliefs, his love of comic books, his use of urine therapy, and sleeping with his head facing north.
