epwar Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Why? One guy presses forward and looks great for a few minutes, the other guy folds under pressure in a few minutes. It is like they are saying to Overeem, "Here's a freebie to make you look badass again." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epwar Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 TUF from last night pulled the worst ratings in the show's history (both for individual shows and debuts). Not their worst individually: http://www.mmajunkie.com/news/2012/12/the-ultimate-fighter-16-ratings-episode-no-12-draws-678000-viewers Damn, I stand corrected. Is it crazy I barely remember TUF 16? TUF 16 was pretty forgettable so its understandable. Colton Smith doesn't look like he will be amounting to much as it is. Ricci vs. Smith is the only TUF final I haven't watched. That's saying something. Well, that final I do remember as Dana was so goddamn pissed that Smith ruined their Ricci plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultimoDANK Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Wait someone doesn't think team alpha male are a bunch of dbags? That name alone earns them almost Cobra Kai level hate. My one take away from the new TUF is that there must have been a giant box of free Pride t-shirts right when you walked in the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WholeFnMachine Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Would anyone else like to see another season in the style of the comeback season? Veteran fighters getting a second shot? Also, I think this season is going to make Rousey look really bad, and I've been a fan. Just the way she has been reacting to the press and the way she looks in the coming attractions, she just looks emotionally unstable in everything I've seen.

Elsalvajeloco Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Ben Henderson's right arm is fine and he can go back to training immediately, but Jacare might be out for a little while until he gets his right foot cleared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SturmCRF Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 When was the last TUF season that didn't have poor ratings and people talking about what a waste of time it was? Everyone's sick of the formula, and all too aware that any especially exciting prospects wouldn't get put through the whole process in the first place, but I still enjoy it to be honest. I also don't understand why people don't like Ronda Rousey. She's probably somewhat if not entirely nuts, but at least she's interesting. To be honest, I assumed she was bullshitting about thinking she'd been replaced by Tate. She knew full well that Zingano had been replaced by Tate, was confronted with the thought of having to spend weeks in close proximity to someone she couldn't stand, and pretended she thought she was getting kicked off the show to save face. Before sulking through most of the qualifying fights. Still, the standard of acceptable erratic behaviour for male fighters is sky high, so it'd be a bit of a double standard to hold it against her. Unless you're one of those people who hates every fighter, which is fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I look at it this way if you see 100 douchebags and 98 of them are men, the 2 women are going to stand out a lot more. I don't Rousey is a douche but she thinks everyone hates or is out to get her and has developed an extremely defensive complex. Maybe that comes with being the most important woman in MMA. The problem with Meisha is that she thinks everyone likes her and it gives off a real mean girl vibe. It also doesn't help that almost nobody in the business likes her husband.

Fat Spanish Waiter Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Rousey is trashy and it annoys me. If she had a little more class I'd just be respectful of her ability like Anderson, Bones and GSP. Mind you the latter two took a while to win me over. And mostly its because Bones fought and annihilated dickheads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Matt Grice, a legend in Oklahoma high school wrestling who has had two stints in the UFC, was scheduled to undergo brain surgery tonight after being rear-ended at a stop light. Grice, 32, was hit from behind at a red light in Pottawatmie County in Oklahoima and was scheduled for surgery tonight at OU Presbyterian hospital. Grice is the only high school wrestler in the history of the state of Okahoma to win Outstanding Wrestler three times, and when you consider the wrestlers that have come out of the state, that is quite the statement. But injuries plagued him in college. He's now 15-5 as an MMA fighter, and works as a police officer in Oklahoma City as his regular job. His last fight was a loss to Dennis Bermudez on Feb. 23 in Anaheim, Calif., which was one of the most amazing fights so far this year. Fuck. Best wishes to Matt Grice, his family and friends.

J.T. Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Donald Cerrone vs. Evan Dunham on the GSP/Hendricks show (which is the 20th anniversary of the UFC celebration show). Interesting. Dana makes a match out of two guys whose last fight consisted of getting their asses whipped by Rafael Dos Anjos. So far I am hating the 167 show on paper, which means it may turn out to be pretty good. I'd rather see Sonnen fight Wandy since you can almost see the lovely specter of hate standing between those guys. The only thing that remains to be seen is what will Brian Ebersole etch into his chest hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LethalStriker Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Terrible news about Matt Grice. Hope he recovers to be able to live a normal life. Emergency brain surgery is serious business, even if he recovers he'll never fight again probably not even able to work his police job anymore.

epwar Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Bellator just lost Shamhalaev just days before his fight on Friday. At least they were smart this time and said it was due to his father having an illness. Justin Wilcox is the replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
