Kimbo is already rumored to be fighting in 109 or 110, which I'm sure everyone was expecting anyways.

I always expected Kimbo to fight in the UFC even if he lost in TUF but what I'm saying is they hyped it as if he was going to take over for an injured teammate.

[Blarg]

My god that fight was terrible. Junk's td's were absolutely hilarious. I just don't see how some of these guys have trained for over a year and have such limited skills and even the skills they seem to have are ugly.

[EckoGecko]

Yep, most of these guys would get mopped up with real HW competition. They don't have the heart to finish fights let alone skills.

[Blarg]

It does seem that HW in general just doesn't have quite the level of athlete. When Junk was on his knees trying to grab for a leg or foot he was moving SOOOOO SLOW, a guy like faber could have done 15 1 legged knees to the face in the same time. HW bodies just seem awkward in so many movements especially when I'm not a HW and looking clumsy is foreign to me making it all seem worse.

Did anyone else LOL @ the UFC 106 commercials including the Carwin vs Lesner fight? How long have we known that the fight is moved to UFC 108, but they are still running commercials like its on UFC 106.

I have to say that this is the first time I have ever been completely and totally disappointed with the season of the Ultimate Fighter. There really hasn't been any jawdropping fights. The conditioning on all of these guys is absolutely a gigantic fucking trainwreck. There's only one or two of them that would even theoretically be able to compete in the UFC. And they would end up beat down a few fights before getting released. Horrible season. Rampage is easily the worst coach they have ever had.

The only positive is that Rashad is actually coaching his team. I hate Rashad but I will give him credit, he's done a fantastic job coaching his guys. Fuck he's done a good job making Rampage's fighters feel a little better after their own coach just walks away when they lose. Ridiculous season.

Cecil Peoples scoring that TUF fight as 29-29 made my day.

It's not that bad of a score really. It would have been 19-19 though, unless they read it out as 29-29 and that's why it's funny.

It wasn't Cecil that scored it 19-19. It was another judge.

[Rhyis.]

Really? I'll have to check it again. For some reason I thought it was Cecil.

And yeah, I meant 19-19.


Edit: Just rewatched it, and yeah Peoples was the last judge called. I guess I was tired and had some selective hearing.

[Blarg]

Boy do these guys seem like they really hate each other

now this is gonna be fucking awesome

Report: Kimbo Slice and Houston Alexander to Meet At 215lbs Catchweight for "The Ultimate Fighter" 10Finale - Bloody Elbow

what a GREAT fight for kimbo. 215 catch weight against a guy that isnt gonna go anywhere near the ground. this is what the casuals that kimbo brings in absolutely need to see.

[Blarg]

I think the fight is terrible. I don't think kimbo makes it past 1 min. Kimbo can win if he lands a solid shot but houston is a much better striker. Give Kimbo one of those shitty guys on TUF right now like scott junk who seems to like to strike but doesn't really have great takedowns and his reach doesn't seem like it would be a problem for kimbo.

It will sure bring in viewers but 85% of that is kimbo and not who kimbo is fighting so if you gave him someone with a bit less recognition you would draw similar numbers but would also increase the chance we see kimbo win and get a second fight which will also draw well instead of giving him a loss now and maybe having no more fights with him.
