Other than the first season, this has got to be the best season yet. The fighters are skilled, focused, and understand the opportunity presented to them. The producers finally realized that trying to get the guys drunk and fight in the house is not entertaining anymore. I like that the guys are focused on the bigger picture. Last season was so fckin annoying with all the cry baby, drunk b*****ds.

BTW, I hope Bubba and Josh get beat. I don't think Bubba is good at all and Josh annoys me for trying to manipulate fights.

Agreed with everything you said. I think the kid with a mohawk last season was a wake up call for TUF, that was one of the most annoying seasons evar. Also this season the coaches are just too damn nice to each other lol but that's cool with me its called professionalism.

Uriah seems to be the favorite in this one, but I got a feeling that's not gonna follow through, I think that young kid who beat Bubba is the real dark horse, he had good strength and submission defense. Bubba is weak, I can't believe hes JJ's training partner, stand up sucks and his ground games sucks too, there was so many openings when he was fighting Kevin I saw a bunch of sweeps I would've attempted. And its not like Kevin was hammering him when they were fighting for position on the ground.

Also liking Chaels team better, they seem more humble, JJ's team seems like dicks.

granted he is what.... 24/25 now? but Jones isn't really a leader. and he's terrible at selecting matchups........



this season is making respect chael a lot more.

Bubba draws Uriah Hall in the quarter finals :)

They both seem like douches...but we're looking at a stand up strike fest here.

With that being said, I'm almost confident that Hendricks will be the next welterweight champ

I doubt it. Not unless he catches GSP with his left. GSP is too quick for that to be a given. He's gonna take Hendricks down and ride it out for all 5 rounds like he's done in just about every fight he's had since his loss to Serra.

Don't see it happening this time. Hendricks' wrestling is close to Matt Hughes status but he's got power in his hands like Alves.

It doesn't matter where Hendricks' wrestling is at, GSP is so far and above everybody else when it comes to taking opponents down that it's almost unfair. Can Johnny catch him with a shot? Yeah, but it's not likely. If they fought 5 times, I'd like GSP in 4. It's not to say I don't want to see GSP lose; his fights have become drag down matches. Neutralizing his opponent and then scoring with punches designed to score and not finish. It's Boring. He's just so effective at doing it, and nobody has had the answer for it. Spider probably does, because he's so damn precise with his striking.

Andre Arlovski got f**ked up by Rumble Johnson last night.......broke his jaw......missing teef lol
Got saved by the bell in that GIF

damn, he looks like s**t. needs to retire. Did he get his teeth KO'd there or were they already missing??

I think what's not being considered is Hendricks tossing Condit around like a rag doll in their last fight. Hendricks' standup has been so good in his fights that we have yet to really see his wrestling. What if he was the one to take GSP down first? Now that GSP is a bit older, with a little less explosion, how will he handle being on his back? It's a lot to think about and I honestly feel like Hendricks is a tough matchup for him.

yeah... "most experienced" blah.... "trained with bones for a line time" more blah...... got me anxious to see him fight....... was disappointed when i saw him actually get in there.....

colin seems like an a*s too, but i respected him a lot as a fighter when he went into meeting and straight up said that he wanted to fight uriah hall.


i want Uriah vs Josh in the finals.

Bubba's problem is that he doesn't listen in the cage. The saying "everyone has a gameplan until you get hit in the face" is exactly what Bubba is. He's good in practice, but he sucks during fights.

i agree. he seem to get that deer in the headlights look when he gets in there.

26 pro fights. the way i see that now, if it was gonna a happen, it should have happened already for him by now.

Dan Hardy forced out of his fight against Matt Brown in UFC on FOX 7 after being diagnosed with Wolf Parkinson's White-Syndrome aka Wolf Heart.

He may be forced to retire.

Dear Mr. Georges St. Pierre

Hi, My name is Chan Sung Jung from South Korea. As one of many Koreans who like you as an incredible athlete, I feel like I should tell you that many Korean fans, including myself, were shocked to see you in your gi designed after the Japanese 'Rising Sun Flag'. For Asians, this flag is a symbol of war crimes, much like the German Hakenkreuzflagge. Did you know that? I hope not.

Just like Nazis, the Japanese also committed atrocities under the name of 'Militarism'. You can easily learn what they've done by googling (please do), although it's only the tiny tip of an enormous iceberg.

Furthermore, the Japanese Government never gave a sincere apology, and still to this day, so many victims are dying in pain, heartbroken, without being compensated. But many westerners like to wear clothes designed after the symbol under which so many war crimes and so much tragedy happened, which is ridiculous.

I know most of them are not militarists. I know most of them do not approve unjustified invasion, torture, massacre, etc. They're just ignorant. It's such a shame that many westerners are not aware of this tragic fact. Wearing Rising Sun outfits is as bad as wearing clothes with the Nazi mark on it, if not worse.

Since you're influenced by Japanese Martial Arts, you're wearing a headband designed after Japanese flag is understandable. But again, that huge 'Rising Sun' on your Gi means something else.

Many people say GSP is the best Welterweight fighter throughout history, to which I totally agree. This means you have a great influence on every single fan of yours all around the world. And I do believe you're wearing 'the symbol of War Crime' is a very bad example for them, not to mention for yourself.

So, what do you reckon?
Do you want to wear the same Gi next time as well?
