U have to hate MMA if u didnt like that show last night. Even if it was a one hour show it would've still been the best start to a season ever. I hope Matsuda finds his way in to the house. Every fight was great and the guys all brought it. Best talent I have seen on the show in years.

Then i hate i hate i hate MMA

Did you actually watch it yet?

No. I actually have not watched a snippet of TUF since the opening of the Ortiz-Liddell season..i gave them one last chance not to insult my intelligence and the integrity of the sport...it was not as bad as Rampage-Shad...but still, canned.

How was last night? did Mayhem really make Bisping angry?

Don't care too much about exhibition fights with low level fighters.

Before anybody gets on me about calling them low level, first check the last few seasons of Tuf except for Nelson because he only did the show for the pub, he could have been signed outright and....

..Any competitive series that starts off with Dustin Neace winning a fight instantly loses credibility.

There was about 2% focus last night on the coaches who were sandwiching Dana as they watched all of the fights and what was shown of them was mostly just reactions the the action in the cage.

While being exhibition fights, calling out everyone has low level would be simply wrong. And further, good results in a fight have no relevance to a fighters perceived level or there would never be boring main events at a UFC show.

TUF season 10 was TUF season 10, which this is not. Season 10 featured fighters the weakest and thinnest division in the sport.

What you missed was about 6 highly competitive, active, back and forth fights that were finished and 1 which was a decision in the bonus round. Another 5 fights which were in the not as competitive to early highlight reel KO or Sub range, all of which were a certain positive level of entertaining. 1 or 2 fights which were so so, but ended vie sub or KO still. There were only two 20-18 decisions for which only the highlights were shown.

16 fights, 8 KO's, 5 Subs, 3 decisions. 8 stoppages in the first round (5 KOs, 3 subs), 3 stoppages in the second (2 KO, 1 sub) and 2 stoppages in the overtime round (1 KO, 1 sub).

I'd say 11 fights got my stamp of entertainment approval. One of the more entertaining UFC products, not just TUF shows, ever.

Can't say I know much about Dustin Neace other than he has mediocre results in his 40 fights since getting into this sport 5 years ago. But if it makes you feel any better his fight was a 20-18 decision and was not special and he celebrated like he won a championship after it was announced, he is one of the longest shots off of the 45 seconds worth of highlight they showed from his 10 minute fight.

Kings, you owe it to yourself to watch this episode. Some bad ass fights.

I watched my recording of this last night, it was the best episode of tuf ever. Lots of actual talent on the show, I'm happy with it for sure.

Yeah I watched it again and I have to say best episode ever. The reason is all the other divisions have been around for so long that the best fighters are already in the UFC/Zuffa. These 2 divisions aren't established yet so there are still some excellent fighters not in the UFC. It's like the fighters from the early seasons of TUF when they discovered Griffin, Florian and Koscheck.

I agree, I also think that atleast imo the smaller weights are more fun to watch cause they(the good ones I mean) just go ape shit and don't get tired. I love watching these weight classes.

My review of the show.

SUCKED

It's actually pretty legit this season bro, some talented looking guys and overall higher caliber fights. And usually there's at least that 1 guy who ends up being quality on TUF, isn't even always the winner, look at Gray. This one dude who looks like mini JDS is probably that dude for me thus far.

And I know you were on board with the Mayhem/Bisping coaches, funny stuff, Mayhem could just call Bisping uglyand he'd get him riled up. Give it a watch....

Son of a b....

This show is making me a big Miller fan.

If you weren't already a Miller fan you deserve to be lashed 100 times.

Kings....u a hater! TUF has produced some great talent over the years. It's no different then a guy fighting in a feeder org and getting discovered with the exception of the fighters being featured on a reality show. Just because it shows guys in a house and there is a tv show side to it doesn't mean u are committing MMA treason by watching it. Stop the TUF hate cause u r missing out on quality fighters and great fights. You aren't that much cooler then us for not admitting that you watch it. Come out of the closet dude!

This season is honestly the best I've seen I think, I like both coaches, hell I even like most of the fighters which is my usual problem with the show, I usually can't stand the guys they have in these shows. But this season seems to have more talent then tv personality on it.

When do Bisping and Mayhem meet again ?
