TUF 10: The Ultimate Fighter Live Discussion (Episode 10)

Let's be honest with one another. None of us would be watching the show if we hadn't already invested the time we've put in so far. Ninety percent of the house gasses within 3 minutes. The highly entertaining interplay between Rampage and Rashad is hollowed by Rampage going AWOL. And Kimbo's return has been exploited more than Eddie Guerrero's death.
But for posterity's sake, we trek along.
Dana White enemy Roy Nelson took a two-round unanimous decision over Justin Wren in the most non-controversial controversial decision of the year. And hey, if that fight goes into the third round, Wren might have had a heart attack.
We continued to watch Matt Mitrione complain about another ailment. Frankly, I want Kimbo back just so we don't have to watch Mitrione anymore.
Quinton's prank with the chickens didn't go over as planned. So, he's planned another prank. Hopefully it doesn't involve energy drinks and a monster truck!

Ugh..
Mitrione is a place where all things enjoyable and entertaining go to die.

soooo looks like kimbo is going to fill in for Mitrione? Or is this more leg pulling
by DJ Soma on Nov 18, 2009 4:07 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
More leg pulling. If he was getting in, they would be pimping it more. They are just teasing it, so no chance he returns. Mitrione just doesn’t want to practice, so he acts hurt.

Yeah you gotta figure we’d hear about Kimbo fighting before hand for certain. They’d build one whole show around it.
by Kwisatz Haderach on Nov 19, 2009 3:00 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
How many shows have they NOT teased about Kimbo coming back since he lost?
I have a feeling the TUF 11 trailer will open up asking, “Will Kimbo FINALLY get another chance in the cage!?!?”

I thought Dana leaked in one of his videos to an actor that he's fighting Houston Alexander @ the finale
Therefore, it wasn’t him that was selected!

It’s going to be hard for me to purchase this season of TUF on dvd. I’ll still buy it but I know it will still be wrapped in it’s original plastic a few years from now.

I feel bad for the people watching this tonight. It means you don’t have Versus.

Kimbo has been training in MMA for what, 3 years now, and he doesn’t know how to check a leg kick?? He looks like a scared bitch.

The amazing thing is his cousin Rhadi is a four time national Judoka champion and 2004 olympian. He also has a black belt in bjj. You’d think he could have young out and learned something with him, huh?
by nottheface on Nov 18, 2009 5:00 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I think he is his cousin in a very loose sense of the word.
by szucconi on Nov 18, 2009 5:07 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
No they’re 1st cousins according to Rhadi. Here’s a great quote from him about Kimbo:
“I don’t train Kev. He doesn’t train that much, but he can fight.”

I don’t think they were lying, but I don;t think they were being entirely honest either. I think money exchanged hands to get people to talk up Kimbo.
by szucconi on Nov 18, 2009 5:36 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I believe they are really cousins, but I don’t think they’re close at all. Rhadi moved out of Miami at 12 so they didn’t grow up together. The stories of Rhadi being his brother was definitely an attempt to talk up Kimbo (as well as the silly “he learned to fight in prison” stories)
by nottheface on Nov 18, 2009 5:54 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I just looked Rhadi up and dude also has a Ph.D in education. Very accomplished guy.

Will they do multiple fights an episode soon? I’m pretty sure they still have three fights left in the second round of fighting, plus two more fights to narrow the contestants to two, right? So that is 5 fights in two episodes? Or am I overcounting?

Sweet. Now I can watch a bunch of fighters gas instead of Meathead complaining all episode mixed in with some Kimbo-coming-back leg pulling.

TUF on DVR or WEC live...

ok WEC of course.

Why are Zuffa running this against their own show? What the hell. Why are they running this on a Wednesday at all?
I’m sure as hell watching WEC instead of this, I’d be surprised if anyone that gets Versus would watch TUF live.

No more live TUF for me, WEC all the way! Enough with the titties and the fake suspense on kimbo’s come back. I don’t even care anymore, since I know he is not making it to the final anyway.

Just do what I do – tune in with 15 minutes left and watch the fight. Of course, with the quality of this season’s fights…

TUF will replay at 11:30 pm ET where I am. I am just gonna watch it then. WEC deserves my full attention.

Am I the only one
that has a problem with Kimbo coming back, I mean, we all know he isn’t. But didn’t past seasons of TUF set the precedent on this. The last guy on Rashads team should get first crack at the last spot assuming Mitrione doesn’t die or wuss out. Thats how it’s been done, why change it now, besides it’s not like any of Page’s fighters did their best.

Fuck that cheater
LnP is boring, but grabbing the fence 8 times and the shorts is BS. Should not get away with that.
by sacterre on Nov 18, 2009 10:53 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
I was just gonna say that. I do not have Vs, so I am watching this. Holy crap was that cheating. HOWEVER…that was the very definition of LnP. Do some fucking damage.

Completly agreed
Should have obviously been a point deducted. And the “throat cut” afterward the knockout while standing over the opponent was bad taste.
Has there been an agreement that this is easily the worst season of fights in TUF history?

Brad repeatedly grabbed the fence, more than 9 times I counted. Ignored the ref and even started grabbing the shorts in the clinch, wouldn’t stop with that after a warning. Obviously changed the outcome of the fight, which most likely would have been a LnP snoozer, but hey— this is an MMA, not Strikeboxing site, right?
by sacterre on Nov 19, 2009 12:37 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
who's Brad?
and some of those parts where the ref warned him weren’t actually fence grabs… but yes, he still did it even after being warned and should’ve gotten a point taken away from him..

^^ this
People push off the fence all the time. I don’t know why the ref was so “don’t touch the fence!” crazy… they can’t grab it and hold (for example, to prevent a takedown), but they are allowed to push off…

yeah, i think the first few ones weren't grabs, and i was wondering what the hell the ref was talking about...
but he did grab it two times or so.. after being warned several times, so that should’ve been a deduction.. (not that it would’ve mattered)

Was it really cheating? Its against the rules, but he complied with the ref everytime the ref said something. Even if he lost a point but won the match, wasn’t it the right decision? Did he deserve a DQ for that?
Ricky Hatton came closer to beating Manny Pacquiao than Marquez did to beating Floyd.

WTF Ref?
When Schaub was down he was CONSTANTLY holdon to the fence. How on earth he didn’t get a point deducted is amazing.
by garik16 on Nov 19, 2009 12:21 AM EST reply actions 0 recs
Funny how Rashad brought up point deductions for grabing the fence considering he drawed with Tito for that very same reason.

It’s seems like some of those were just pushing of on the fence. His fingers didn’t wrap around the links of it.
by EnsignFrog on Nov 19, 2009 12:30 AM EST reply actions 0 recs
Some of them were just him bracing, but there was definitely a lot of grabbing too. Ref’s gotta threaten to take a point after the first obvious one, then actually enforce it with a point if he continues. Taking a point wouldn’t have changed the outcome though, so smart move on Schaub’s part. If you think your only chance is to get up and knock the other guy out anyway, might as well take the point deduction and then finish it if you can. They need some guys standing outside the cage with sticks. If you hang on, they just smack your hands until you let go. It’d be fun :)

I never watched other TUF seasons.
except for Nover’s fights, and a few others here and there.. but now, i’ve watched like more than half of the episodes…
maybe cause i’m in the US, and there’s nothing on at this time? In the Phillippines, i’d have to wake up earlier than usual to watch it.. so uhh, no thanks, i like my sleep.
or maybe it’s kimbo? haha :P
