I voted indifferent, but I like it more than I dislike it.

I like it...
if they’re going to do a team vs. team concept this has more of a built in interest than simply randomly picking guys from the same pool.

Country vs. Country I like. Another US vs. UK, not so much, change up the countries.
A man should never waste an opportunity to keep his mouth shut.
exactly how i feel
I'm the kind of girl who loves to watch a GOOD fight!

I don’t like it. I hated that the American “team” was so football huddle about it all.
How taste my pee pee pee? LIKE WIN!!! Thank you Machida!
Huh?

Another tidbit from Dana’s Q&A:
"I loved seeing Tito Ortiz getting his ass whooped by Machida". "I actually contemplate bringing Tito back just to see him getting beat up again."

Nice. So you’re saying there’s a chance…

Come on
I would certainly love Ortiz to get his ass torn up by Machida. Again.
Andy Reid is the only coach in NFL history that uses the pass to set up the pass.
Pretty boring season this season, dunno why it was a homerun.
Country vs Country works if you pick the best guys from both countries not just a bunch of select guys from 1 country and then buffers on the other side to not make them look awful.
They cant seriously say they picked the best candidates for the US team as most of them looked like they were barely graduated from regional $50 to fight shows.
Nationalism FTW
Who cares what country the fighters come from?
Not only is it silly as a concept but the format never even really played out that much.
sure Bisping is a dork and makes “Go UK!” comments and stuff but with the US infighting it hardly matters.
The UFC should focus on talent, not nationality.
btw, heavyweights is sounding 10x more interesting than this season. (not only kimbo, but some actual super legit prospects)
I agree. I found myself rooting for UK guys as much as US guys.
I also agree TUF10 will be sick. Roy Nelson??? He might be the most established fighter ever on the show
Most established by far.

Brazil vs Brazil
and use rival gyms who hate each other. I bet we would see the most explosive house we ever have.
Dana says that about everything. Almost every Fight Night that is held in a new city Dana comes out and says he was so impressed with the turnout that he is going to soon bring a PPV event to that city. He said it in Tampa and in Nashville and several other places. It is his way of winning favor with the locals or in this case the fans of this season of TUF.
On a personal note – I hate the country vs. country thing. Too many guys that train internationally and such to really pit nationalities against each other. I mean, half of the guys that train in Bisbing’s gym are U.S. guys and vice versa.
If you want to make it international
Put in USA vs. Canada.
Or better yet, Germany vs. Poland.
Andy Reid is the only coach in NFL history that uses the pass to set up the pass.
North Korea vs. South Korea
Andy Reid is the only coach in NFL history that uses the pass to set up the pass.
Training Camp vs Training Camp, or Brazil vs US
US/UK rivalry isn’t interesting enough to continue
