Thread: The Official MMA Thread

Getting sick of these weak, TUF match-ups. Sorry but most of the guy's that come off the show are B to C level fighters and the UFC seems to think that we get excited that they're fighting. I sure as hell don't get excited when I hear Leben vs Starnes, sorry.

Within this article, mentions that Big Nog could be on the next Ultimate Fight Night. Unfortuantley he won't be fighting Brandon Vera. Although that fight didn't make much sense from the UFC's perspective. Anyways it will be cool to see Nog in the Octagon.

Good TUF episode tonite. I won't spoil it for all you West Coasters though. I guess I'll be back in the AM to discuss. A little surprise at the end though.

Awesome, I was hoping for a good episode since there has been nothing else going on.

So apparently it's not just Andy Wang that cries like a little bitch, his buddy Gabe does too. I loved how everyone at the house turned on him. How can you come in to a competition THAT much overweight?

I was not surprised that Dana threw him out, but I was surprised that Dana picked who it was to come back. In previous seasons, hasn't he always left it up to the coaches/team? For a second there, I did almost expect him to punish Team Penn by giving Corey the buy to the quarters, but I guess that's really not Dana's style.

I really want to see Corey in action. I want to see how he uses his height/reach advantage. Emerson didn't impress me much during the Diaz fight, but that's probably because Diaz has got some pretty mad skills. Looking forward to seeing Lauzon again as well. He looked good in his fight against Pulver, and it'll be interesting to see if it was just an off night for Jens, or if Lauzon has what it takes.

Yea, Gabe's been crying throughout the season. It was fairly entertaining at first, but it got annoying as the season went on. It didn't help that Gabe's also seems like a huge dickhead. Hard to feel sorry for the guy.

Yea, I don't get how one can show up at the house some 20 odd pounds overweight when the guy knew the show would be at 155 LBs. Nobody on Gabe's team liked him, even the guy's that were helping him cut weight were tired of it.

Yea, once Dana came on you knew he'd drop a few f-bombs and throw Gabe out. There are always a few episodes where Dana gets to show how badass he is. Last season, he did let Team No Love pick who was coming back(they ended up flipping a coin). But when Noah left the house on season 3, Dana brought back Jesse.

Anyways, I don't think it would have mattered since Penn would have picked Emerson anyways. No chance he would have brough back Alan, Andy, or that other kid whose name escapes me. Anyways it was funny seeing Tony decide to completley dominate in that grappling match. Don't think he'll joke around during training anymore.

I'm anxious to see Hill fight as well. Emerson didn't look that great in the Diaz fight. Everyone was hyping his kick boxing but he wasn't very impressive on his feet. I think he'll do better against Corey because Corey will stand with him. I'm glad there will be 2 fights next week. Although this was one of the more entertaining episodes that didn't have a bout.

Also one great part of the episode was when Gray asked Gabe what the plan was. And Gabe starts talking about his plan for the fight, and Gray says "yea, well I kinda was talking about the weight". And Gabe decides that he'll go home, eat some spinach, then sleep. Smart guy...

I seriously hope there is a double knockout on the final show. There isn't a single guy on that show that I like. Between them crying, talking ****, and wearing their hats off the side of their heads, I hope they all go down.

Haha, yea this season has been a bit different. I don't min Joe Lauzon that much. He seems like a nice guy, anxious to see him fight. Some of the other guys don't seem to bad, but at the same time they haven't focused on them yet either.
