After being losing in the elimination round, Anthony Gutierrez made it into The Ultimate Fighter house as replacement. When his quarterfinal opponent, Cody Bollinger, missed weight, Gutierrez got a free pass to the semifinals. One fight away from the finals, Gutierrez then became the one to miss weight and blow an opportunity at winning the show and becoming a full-fledged UFC fighter.
Not surprisingly, Gutierrez didn’t garner much sympathy from anyone, especially Manny Gamburyan, who told him, “You don’t belong here,” nor from UFC president Dana White, who promptly booted him from the show.
