hey guys, just watched TUF. This is by far the best season since I’ve been watching! All fights and training, no lame ass pranks and high jinx! The only person I really don’t care for is Demarques, but his talent is good!

TWO QUESTIONS:
Since when is Ralph Macchio a MMA expert?
And why does he keep calling Ralph, Miguel?

John, I saw you post about Big John earlier, it’s not up to Dana John. Big John had an interview, he’s not licensed in vegas, hence he hasn’t done a UFC show yet! We’ve had this conversation before, I put up proof, Dana doesn’t have anything to do with refs, he said if he did, Mazzagatti wouldn’t referee UFC events. He thinks Herb Dean and Mario Yamasaki do a good job! Certainly that big italian buffoon wouldn’t be. Take notice in FL, there are always a different crew there!

ok, but he is licensed in California and other states…..Hope that the UFC uses him in states that he is already licensed to work in!

and Yes this season of tUF is the best. NO pranks….I LOVE IT!!!

Demarques is a tool, but he is one of the best talents to come out of the show….This season would have been perfect without Cameron Dollar and Pierce….but NO COMPLAINTS OUT OF ME!!

The Ross/Andre Finale will be the most hard fought TUF finale fight since Grove/Herman back at season 3!!!!!! if the fight is an all out war like I expect it to be, I could see Dana giving them both 6 figure deals.

Hopefully Wilks wins and upsets Demarques!

hopefully Big JOhn works the main event between Shogun/Machida at UFC 104 in LA.

Kevin, will you agree that If Big JOhn doesnt work the uFC 104 card, that its Dana’s doing?

Alistar doesnt have the best chin either. If Rogres puts one on Alistar’s chin, he will crumble just like Arlovski did! Of course Alistar will be the favorite, but i wont be the least bit surprised if Grim goes home with the title!

I gotta agree with Miguel. Time to get Cung le back in the cage. Let Diaz twist him into a pretzel, take Cung’s title and then Cung can go shoot as many crappy movies as he wants! I would have liked to see Diaz vs. Gomi 2 at affliction trilogy, but Diaz is too big right now to expect him to get down to about 160 lbs by August 1st to fright Gomi!

It really is a good show… They should put this on espn, even if it was late at night it would still be cool.

Does anyone know where Bader said Cain is making a big mistake? Is there an article or blog about it?

Kevin, who are you taking in the Franklin vs Silva fight?

by J on Jun 11, 2009 9:41 PM EDT reply actions

Wand for a few reasons.
1. aggression
2. his clinch and Rich’s inability in the clinch.
3. I really want to see silva/silva.
The key for Rich to win is his technical striking, but with Wand coming forward like a maniac, I don’t see Rich being able to be too technical!

sorry for the double guys, I hit add twice on accident! usually it says duplicate detected, this time it didn’t, my bad!

i dont disagree!

more so then defending the clinch, whats worse IMO is that I think rich will mentally BREAK and Panic as soon as the tai clinch is locked around his head…THats when the flashbacks will begin and Rich will be fed a strict, Knee Filled DIET!!!

The beginning of the end!
