After Bones Jones takes care of blondie in a couple of weeks. He should fight Texiera, and once he beats him, should move to heavy weight.
Does anyone think blondie will get out of the 1st rd?
Why the hate for Rousey? She strikes me as a bit socially awkward (maybe insecure) but a proper athlete with a serious competitive streak. Tate comes off as an attention whore who cares more about how she looks on camera than the fighters. Both, though, will suck as coaches.yeahbuddy wrote:Watched the ultimate fighter show this afternoon.
Ronda is quite the drama queen isn't she?
That close up b&w confessional camera does neither of those
women any good.
The women that were chosen to fight are much more interesting
than any of the men. There's a number of women that stand out,
but I can't remember one guy. I don't think any of the women
are hot either, just more interesting. Come on, that gawky white
girl that lives in Japan & teaches literature or something. Can't
get much more interesting than that. And there's that bad ass
girl that trains with Tate.
I hope Tate beats Ronda just to bring Rousey back to earth.
But I seriously doubt that.
I don't hate Rousey, just like to see when a fighter is so dominate lose.caroline wrote:Why the hate for Rousey?

And I agree about the chick from Japan. My favorite contestant. So odd but endearing.

I love Anderson Silva, but was so ecstatic when got knocked out.
If not mistaken as a young child Rousey had some kind of speech impediment so that's why she speaks on the funny side & as you say socially awkward.
Can't wait for the day that Bones Jones loses. I don't see that happening anytime soon. Maybe when he makes the move to heavy weight.
GSP has a good shot of losing his fight with Hendricks. If Johnny can land one of his bombs, it will be a short night for GSP.
Hendricks is pretty good wrestler as well. He has pin point accuracy when he throws those bombs. I wouldn't be surprised if he catches GPS on his way in. And I agree with you on the championship rounds.tin00can wrote:yeahbuddy wrote: I don't hate Rousey, just like to see when a fighter is so dominate lose.

All GSP has to do is fight a typical GSP fight and he'll win again, on points. If Hendricks is gonna win he needs to do it before the championship rounds or it ain't gonna happen.
Interesting. If that's the case it explains some things about her demeanor.yeahbuddy wrote:If not mistaken as a young child Rousey had some kind of speech impediment so that's why she speaks on the funny side & as you say socially awkward.

I thought the Condit fight was a good fight.tin00can wrote:John Simon Ritchie wrote:

His first fight back from the injury, against Condit, was good. Other than that, yeah. Man, I want to see a champion finish fights, not win them by decision.
I was thinking the same thing about Hunt & his toe.slash4pres wrote:Bigfoot vs Hunt set for December. I'd really love to see Hunt string 2 or 3 solid KOs together and get another crack at a title shot. I wonder how that JDS fight would've gone if he didn't break his toe.
The thing I loved about Cain in that second fight is he never gave up on trying to take JDS down. Most fighters try 3 or 4 times and if not succesful, give up. Cain stayed on it the entire fight.slash4pres wrote:That's a really good question. Honestly the two of them are so far ahead of the rest of the division that they could fight a 4th and 5th fight too. Judging by how the last one went, I think Cain might dominate him again.
Haven't watched the episode yet. I do not have the channel so I have to wait until its posted online. My two go to sites had the episode pulled, so gotta wait until they add others.John Simon Ritchie wrote:TUF...always awesome seeing over confidence rewarded.

Sorry, man. I will try to stifle any spoilers.
I guess he's trying to avenge those two losses, there are about 30 fightsers I'd rather see him fight for his return, though. I think the best matchup for him would be a rematch with Gomi at 155, but I guess he wants to lose again.slash4pres wrote:So BJ Penn has announced that he will return to the octagon.

at 145.....
wait, WHAT!?

Guarantee the UFC will find a way to get Bayszler another shot at winning this thing. Fuck her, I say. And yep..Pena is a badass. Tough as nails from the looks, and end result, of it.yeahbuddy wrote:Watched last night.
Hmm, the Rousey fighter thought she was going to walk right through the other girl. Not so. The Tate fighter is a tough little cookie.
The 2nd round was a complete mauling and nice submission.
Does the loser leave the house now? Or does she get another shot?
As you can tell I never watch this show. I do watch the final show, but an entire season? Nope.
Ronda Rousey is white trash, pure & simple. And she needs to burn off that birthmark or whatever she's got going on her face.
My guess is because of her shitty personality, she will become uglier as the season goes forward.
She's got nothing to offer as a coach.
I like what Tate offers as a coach.
Bayszler got nailed by some serious shots. That first shot that landed was a good one. I think that once her gameplan didn't go as planned, she didn't know what to do.John Simon Ritchie wrote:Guarantee the UFC will find a way to get Bayszler another shot at winning this thing.

The loser stays in the house and keeps training, ostensibly to help their teammates prepare. The only way a loser can get back in the competition though is if another contestant is injured and has to back out.yeahbuddy wrote:Does the loser leave the house now? Or does she get another shot?
EddieVanHeineken wrote:Anyone watch the Mayweather Alvarez fight? I feel like I watched a different fight than everybody else. I thought it was a lot closer than people are saying. People get too influenced by the commentators in these fights (same in MMA). There were a few rounds where floyd was in defensive mode and alvarez was being a lot more active. I had it 7 to 5 for Floyd. Alvarez with another 3 years and a real trainer like Freddy Roach, would have the tools to beat Mayweather. This fight was too early for him.
After spending more time watching MMA recently, I find it funny how the boxing community makes such a big deal out of cutting weight and the weight put on before a fight. It is standard practice in MMA for fighters to drop almost 30 lbs before a fight. At the theater I watched the fight, people were talking about how was canelo allowed to fight after putting back on the 15 lbs. I think it has more to do with MMA fans being (generally) more knowledgeable of the sport and all it's ins and outs. Whereas boxing fans are for the most part fair (May) weather fans.....
