No Nick Ring? Probably would have been one of the finalists if not for the injury. Maybe that’s still bothering him?
Other then that this card is pretty much… bad.
I'm surprised Noke and Uscola didn't get a shot either
although there may be one more prelim announced

Was about to post the same thing
Uscola/Noke/Ring were the favorites going in.

Kind of suprised that so many people want to see Uscola. In addition to his very mediocre record before the show, he didnt even win a single fight on the show.
I think they would be stupid not to sign Noke though. Hes a quality guy that they could have signed outright without putting him on the show.
well......
uscola definetly did win a fight to get into the house
The Red Wings will come back stronger
RESTORE THE ROAR 2010 Detroit Lions
i hope they anounce at least more fight with tuf fighters
I’d rather see uscola and noke over hammortree or baczynski
Forgot to mention the chosyn one
he doesn’t deserve his spot after quitting in his last fight, but since all his drama his automatically in
If they were gonna put Yager in I would’ve really preferred them to match him up with one of the guys he had a serious beef with, to me that would justify having him on the card despite giving up on his stool.
Josh Koscheck has a hairstyle like Betty White's pubic bush.
Yea I would have rather ...
… seen him fight Uscola . They’ve had beef all season long . And props to Brad Tavares for not giving up . Hell that man had every right to tap but he didn’t and all Yager had to do was get up off a stool ….. sad . Beat Yeagers ass Richie !

not taping when you are getting choked is silly
Convulsing on national tv. Serves no purpose. IMHO tapping when you’re caught shows respect.
"When i get in there, in his face ,pressin the action,I'm RUFF NECKIN'EM,I'm throwin him around,I'm punchin him,hes punchin me, I'm eatin his shots and I'm Blastin him back in the face he's not goin to be able to handle it ." - Chris Leben on how his fight with Anderson Silva is gonna go.

I just think it shows ...
… heart by not tapping and it displays the never give up attuide . I can see your respect angle though .

He was out REALLY quick, though, dude.
I don’t even know if he had a chance to think about tapping. That choke was in and he was out almost right after.
In competition
I do not tap to chokes. Joint locks absolutely, but a choke? in the gym I’m the first to tap, but this isn’t the gym. Either put me to sleep or get ready for when I stand back up. Every fighter I train with would have done the same thing.
I am
the same exact way. In the gym, I’ll tap to a choke all day. But NOT in competition. Keep fighting until you go out
Read me trying to be funny at:
www.huggingnuts.com
Unless it’s a locked rear naked, then you are screwed. Otherwise, get past the fear and fight your way out of it.
On another note, I’ll confirm that a lot of chokes are just too quick to tap out to. Some guys just go out before they even know they are in trouble. I’ve seen guys tap out AFTER passing out, like a muscle reflex—then they are snoring and gurgling.
I've done that one
last thing I remembered was moving my had to tap (we were drilling the RNC and I had a pretty green partners who couldn’t lock it in, then magically got it and got it tight). I woke up and I could tell that I had never made it to tapping from the look on everyones face. lol. It happens.
Thankfully, I’ve never gone out. YET. But the first time I got someone with a choke (in guard, overhooked their arm, then reached under for the collar), I was a white belt and it was a purple belt. I slapped on the other hand really quick and I think they went “hey, this isn’t supposed to happen ohshitbettertapsnoregurgle”. Then he just went out on my chest. It was super creepy.
I too ...
…. will not tap in competition to any type of choke , but in the gym yea I’ll tap theres nothing at stake there . Now joint locks are a different story . I’ve fubared me knee , ankle and shoulder ( in different sports ) so going through rehab again ain’t on my to do list anytime soon . Luckily I’ve never been in a tapping situation , in competition anyway .

Not true.
You never know when a guy is going to adjust or something, maybe even give up on the choke. And the time from when you think you aree ok, to when you are out, is very, very small.
Muscle damage ...
Well, anybody who knows me knows I'm no fan of dictionaries or reference books. They're elitist. Constantly telling us what is or isn't true. Or what did or didn't happen.
kris McCray! Northern VA represent!!!
well, lets be honest…Woodbridge is a hell hole but the rest of northern VA is great. saw him fight at the UWC events in fairfax and im sized that Va is being represented again. Can we actually have two Virginia Ultimate Fighters? First Amir Sadollah and now Kris McCray? we will put VA on the map!

woodbridge isn't that bad
It’s out of place when you compare it to the rest of northern va, but It’s not bad at all.
Chris Leben in his pic-"I got my hair did yall!"
Seriously he didn’t even get his hair braided right, that’s the way my sister would braid her hair. To be fair though, I’m sure it’s not too easy with the receding hairline at play.

I guess u could say that, but i’d say the next couple strikforce events look more exciting than the next two ufc shows. i jus expect more out of the ufc considering strikeforce sucks and they don’t

Don’t see anything weak about this card at all, Jardine vs. Hammill should be action packed so will Siver vs. Fisher plus we’ll see how the TUF guys have improved since the show ended. Not much more you can ask for in a TUF finale considering how many shows the UFC has coming up i’m pretty happy with what we’re getting here.

I’m disappointed Noke isn’t on the card, and surprised Yager got another chance to fight after his last effort.
I was under the impression that Dana is not a fan of having someone like Yager, who quit on the stool in the middle of an MMA bout during TUF, being invited to fight in the UFC. Someone like Brian Bowles had an injury, BJ Penn’s corner threw in the towel, and while Yager claimed he was “rocked,” I have seen UFC fighters like when Jason MacDonald quit on the stool against Rich Franklin who was seriously “rocked” and believably could not continue. Yager just looked like he quit even though he looked like he could continue, and his personality and behavior on TUF reinforced that he is not that strong mentally.
There’s still most likely two more fights to be added. UFC cards typically have 11 fights on them these days so there should be a fifth main card fight and another prelim fight. My guess is Ring (due to injury) and Blanchard (got steamrolled in the first round) won’t fight and we’ll get two fights out of Noke, Bryant, McKinney and Uscola.
I really want Henle to get a shot.
He’s one of the nicest and most well spoken fighters in the game right now. Would love to see him succeed.

Fight Nights and TUF Finale cards typically have 4 main card fights
not 5…PPVs have 5 main card fights.
We might see another prelim added though.
TUF Finale has had 5 main card fights
Every season since season 6. They’re 3 hour shows now.

Whoops, my bad
I was just thinking of UFNs then.

I am going with Jardine to win the main event. I see potential in Brad Tavares, so I am glad that he is getting a fight at the Finale. I have to wonder how many TUF 11 castoffs that the UFC will keep besides the winners of the their respective fights? I guess that the UFC needs Middleweights.
No they just need ...
… fresh meat to throw to Anderson .

If it even happens, by the time that any of these TUF 11 fighters get into Title contention (like I said, if it even happens), then Anderson will be in his late 30’s and could potentially be retired.
You make a good point , but you never know .

Silva
will be moving up to Light Heavyweight after the Sonnen fight, if he wins, at least Dana says it’s a possibility. Maybe Vitor gets the shot that they wanted to give him and then he goes up after that. 2 Middleweight fights left and nothing more.
As AV103 poinyed out to me ....
… remember he was bitten in the junk by dogs . That may have a little to do with it .

No...that rumor
came from a sketchy site suggesting that Yager fight Uscola because of their beef, but then they titled the post "Yager vs. Uscola at TUF 11 Finale" as if it were actually happening. Several other sites just read the title and ran with it.

Methinks fights are still to be added. Noke has to be added if toolplant is there.
Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.
I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.
lol i think we’re onto something.

thats good for yager
ppl on here talking all that ying yang about yager trying to fade him but yet he still get his chance.
LOL I guess he don’t like people talking ying yang about his boy.
Yager made his own bed. He goes and throws a bag of flour then when he gets confronted about it says he didn’t do it and gets all mad and acts like everyone else is trying to start beef with him.
what? stfu. nah this me on ya momma computer
i said all that just because everybody else was talking shit

Court McGee (8-1) vs. Kris McCray (5-0)
It’s gotta be the first time ever that both fighteres in the finale lost during the season…
I don’t know what I think of this fight. Even after yesterdays fights, I still think Tavares and McGee were the 2 best fighters…
Josh Bryant will be fighting on the Finale
according to his interview with FanHouse…didn’t confirm his opponent though.
looks like it’s gonna be bryant/noke:

I hate to be that guy
But IMO they dropped the ball on this card. Tavares should be on the Main card, opening bout. Noke not fighting, Nick Ring not on (perhaps due to injury) Josh Bryant absent. Yager fighting Rich Attonito (the only dude to not confront him “I’m not in this gimme my shoes back” Should be Yager vs. Hammertree since Uscala got his junk mauled. They had legit beef, and Tree didn’t bend.

Thanks
I saw that after I hit “post” I’m glad Bryant’s on the card but I’m still very disappointed in this card.

Please bump 1 fight to the main card. The 2 hour shows are dreadful with pacing
And this night deserves a 3 hour event.

I'm pretty sure
Ring isn’t fighting because he can’t. It sounded like he was going to get surgery after the season ended.
Wow didn’t know that about Uscola…that shit SUCKS!
I’d like to see Ring fight again… never really say him fight at 100% Think he’s retiring due to knee injuries? I’m also pretty annoyed to see Yager on this card not fighting Hammortree Uscola or even Ring…
Anyone know how long Uscola will be out?
