Luke Cummo drinks his own urine for its health benefits. Luke Cummo dresses like a ninja before his fights. Luke Cummo reads comic books, wears glasses, and looks like a bully’s wet dream. Luke Cummo also kicks plenty of ass.
Cummo was the last fighter picked during the second season of the Ultimate Fighter reality show. That ended up being a huge mistake for coaches Matt Hughes and Rich Franklin, as Cummo proved everyone wrong, making it to the TUF2 Finale. He did more than just show up for that fight too, he gave the favored Joe Stevenson all he could handle. TUF2 not only brought Luke into the public eye, it also made him a better fighter.
“I won’t lie and say it was peaches and cream the whole time we were there. Six weeks with no outside contact got pretty rough at times and I missed my friends and family alot,” Cummo said. “I’m the type of person that thrives under a strict regimen. The times when I get into trouble are after fights when I have nothing to do except play video games and eat junk food. The public got a glimpse of this after my bout against Anthony Torres when I ate myself into a food coma. On the show we trained twice a day almost every day.
