A little better than 1 in 10 if you showed up to the audition:
Of the 149 men who showed up to audition, about 20 will join candidates who submitted tapes or were recommended by current UFC fighters for a final audition in Las Vegas. Then, 16 will be selected to have their lives taped while they train, live and fight together. Filming begins in January.
Update [2007-11-22 10:9:40 by Nick Thomas]: Or not, here’s a thread about the audition experience:
When they called the names it was exactly as expected, it was the TOP NJ pro fighters only, and a couple guys from Serra’s. Guys came in from California, Miami, Atlanta, Canada, etc to tryout but this was purely a “publicity” stunt, they knew in advance who they wanted to go on to the next phase of the tryout. It was definately fun though. And everyone was very cool to each other.
