TUF 7 Update: Baltimore's T. Dixon in the running
Last week, I reported that Baltimore BJJ instructor Lee Synkowski had successfully made it through the first day (three rounds) of TUF 7 tryouts. I'm happy to report that another Baltimore middleweight, Ground Control's Tenyeh Dixon, also earned a spot last Monday in the final 32.
With two candidates now waiting to find out whether they will be invited to Las Vegas for the next round of tryouts, Baltimore's chances for representation on the next season of the show look quite good. The show has a cast of 16 so probability dictates that "The City That Reads" will have at least one participant on the show.
I will keep you posted as I receive more information on both Synkowski and Dixon's TUF 7 quests.
