I guess its too soon for Cain to get ready, but would love to see him fight JDS

Yeah I think that's what it is. Learn2intestine.

It is something he'll have for the rest of his life. Hopefully he gets some good treatment and can get back to work soon. Hate to see anyone sidelined with things they can't control.

I bet brock just pulled a razor out from his boot and cut his intestine so he could get out of the fight

Carwin hasn't proved he has any skills whatsoever on the ground but at least he won't need them for this fight. Too bad he gets knocked out in the first round.

**tyven** · 2011-05-13 08:44

i hope JDS pwns the F out of him. I have never liked Carwin, idk how anyone could. I never thought I would be a Brock fan, then Carwin got a title shot and i was sold on BROCKLESNAR

**Thuronn** · 2011-05-13 10:38

Carwin will smash JDS.... or he'll gas out in 3 minutes for an easy JDS picking apart session.

**Hitoshura** · 2011-05-13 11:59

Could this season of TUF be any more meaningless? Not only that but none of the fighters really stand out to me at all. But I am glad JDS got some media coverage and attention, can't wait for this fight with Carwin. It's a fight I have always wanted to see because there really isn't anyone else that will be as much threat to JDS in the stand up department. Shane can drop people with short punches, while Junior likes to go with a lot of long uppercuts. I just hope JDS is very careful because I want to see him and Cain fight next.

This has to be the worst season though, it makes me so sad there won't be any season as good as 5. I mean come on, "stand and wang", gabe rudiger not making weight, noah and marlow house fight, etc, it will never get better than that season. Heavyweights was a pleasant surprise but it was more like it was so bad it's good lol.

I agree with everything you posted. I have hardly watched this season, I was Tivoing it, but forgot about it since I didnt really care to much for the "talent". Been watching NBA mostly anyways. I actually like this Carwin/JDS fight better.

Looks like Brock was eating chicken shit rather than chicken salad

I'm seriously loving me some Nelson. Dude is fat and smart, and can fight.

**Xno Kappa** · 2011-05-13 14:40

I think Tony Ferguson stands out. His striking looks really crisp and accurate.

As the only guy who still watches TUF, I chuckled for a good minute.

**Intrinsic** · 2011-05-14 02:13

This is probably just me, but hearing that Jon Jones was going to be fighting this year was a very whatever moment for me. I appreciate his talent, but I'm not excited to see him fight in any capacity. On the other hand, Guida/Pettis and Henderson/Miller has me excited to no end. I've been watching MMA for over ten years now and I'm starting to realize that as the weight classes go higher, I appreciate the fights less and less as the years fly onward.

**Rhyis.** · 2011-05-14 12:43

The lighter classes have been significantly more awesome for like 3 years now. The WEC merger was just the catalyst for people to realize it. If the UFC can pick up Alvarez/Melendez/Aoki/Kawajiri/etc, that LW division would be completely ridiculous to the point of it being unfair.

**Xno Kappa** · 2011-05-14 15:46

I honestly think it would be a great idea if the UFC held a LW GP, never gonna happen, to undo it's cluster fuck from the WEC merger. The division is so retardedly stacked that it's almost unfair to every 155'er for Edgar/Maynard to have been ruled a draw.

***Blarg*** · 2011-05-14 17:03

well winners almost always get matched with winners so it's basically an unstructured tournament all the time

**Xno Kappa** · 2011-05-14 19:49

True, UFC's matchmaking is pretty good when it comes to that but I mean more like Pettis/Guida type shit. Stuff like that shouldn't happen if you're genuinely trying to unify the LW belts. It's insinuating the WEC belt ain't worth shit and opens even further questions on whose the best LW.

**Andalusian girls** · 2011-05-14 20:44

If I remember right Pettis didn't want to wait for Edgar-Maynard 3 and chose to debut in a top contender's bout instead, it'd be awful hard for Dana and Lorenzo to force one of their most marketable young stars (World of Jenks, Ninja Kick) to stay out of the game for a year against his will.

**Intrinsic** · 2011-05-15 00:46

Does anyone really believe Pettis is in a top contenders bout? I love seeing Guida fight, but top contender.......stretching it just a bit.
