This is my blog so I will state my opinion here (you can comment and argue with if you want).  every year I watch TUF and the same thing is seen in the house.  This week it was Jesse Taylor drinking way too much and peeing on himself again.  I think it is a shame that these guys portray themselves like they do.  You can think what you want about drinking, but I think that not only should TUF be looking for new talent, but also should strive to display to the viewers what mixed martial arts is all about.  Every season has shown the same thing: drunkeness, drunkeness and more drunkeness.  Frankly, it ticks me off a bit.  People like Jesse Taylor should have been sober and preparing for a fight.  They should have more respect for property.  That $20,000+ of damage that they senselessly caused could have gone to pay fighters, or better yet could have gone to some people in need around the world.  What a waste.  I just think that many times what we see on TUF is not indiciative of how an MMA fighter should act.  Mixed martial arts has enough critics and enough people against it.  Mixed martial arts has enough stigma to it, and the fighters already are stereo-typed by many as brutes and violent people.  I think the UFC and other MMA organizations need to do better emphasising character of fighers.  I am all for second chances and realize people mess up sometimes.  I also understand not everyone has the same ideas and standards that I have, however there needs to be some punishment for people who act out outside of the octagon.  If I was in charge of UFC rosters thugs like Rob Emerson and Jon Koppenhaver wouldn't fight in my organization, not because they cannot hack it in the octagon, but because they are poor representatives of the sport.  For me, the one problem I have with watching MMA is the constant foul language from fighters and the emphasis on the party life.  Go ahead disagree with me if you want, this is just my opinion.  I love MMA and think that MMA fighters need more guys who are a postive example, a good role model, and someone that parents can feel confident letting their children look up to.  MMA needs more Matt Hamills, Matt Hughes, Georges St. Pierres, Anderson Silvas, Randy Coutures, Kenny Florians and Wanderlei Silvas and less Matt Serras and Tito Ortizs.  One thing I really love about many of the true mixed martial artists, especially your Brazilian and Japanese fighters is their love for fighting, their respect for their opponent, and their incredible sportsmanship (even in defeat).  To them they are not just fighting it is a sport to them.  Okay, enough of my soapbox.  All I am saying is that if the UFC wants to market to people they will have to consider that not everyone lives a Vegas style life.  All the cussing is an issue for some people, even with Dana White.  Goodness, you listen to Dana White on SPIKE and you don't hear anything except a long "beep".  Sometimes I get confused and think it is a warning fromt he emergency broadcast system and then I look and realize it is just the president of the UFC talking.  Right or wrong, the character often (not always) displayed on TUF turns some people off, keeps parents from letting their kids watch and puts a bad taste in the mouths of some.  I believe MMA fighters should go an extra step to show the world that they are not thugs with no restraint, but that they also have a little character.
