Still doesn't give Will a pass for talking shit and allegedly talking about his mother. Like Woodley said on the post show we expect guys to talk a lot of shit before the fight but expect them to be nice to each other after the fight. Sometimes it will not work out that way. Brooks is known for trash talk. He has no right to talk because he has looked average so far in the Ufc.

Except he isn't trying to please Brooks as much he is trying to keep his job in the UFC. If they cut him, I wouldn't be that be shocked honestly. The UFC isn't really giving a damn about vendettas as they are about fighters conducting themselves in and out of that cage. Now under Dana and Lorenzo, that stuff would fly most of the time. With new ownership and the fact we have had a few post fight deals in the last month or so, he may get cut worst case scenario or relegated to the early prelims. He already couldn't win a bonus last night. You think they're going to give him one next time he finishes if they don't cut him?

Woodley said he understands the emotions after the fight and the trash talk element, but he also said he wouldn't have done it personally. You want to venture a guess as to why? You don't want hinder your career more than helping it especially when you're not a top fighter. When you're expendable, you find out the hard way that you're expendable especially in the UFC.

Oliveira doing that after he missed weight is unprofessional.  Fuck him.

The Ultimate Fighter has pretty consistently produced some quality, good fighters.  I think we've seen enough TUF guys become champions or contenders at this point to know that the show has brought along some good fighters.  Look at Robert Whittaker who came from the Australia vs. England season, and he's a top 10 middleweight and IMHO the most underrated guy in that division right now.
