I did have to agree with Rampage at one point this season and that was when he lost yet again to another weak choke out. He wasn't happy after that fight with the coaches and said they were trying to be too clever with the training and the guys just weren't good enough.

I also can understand his annoyance when Junk lost to Matrione, maybe that fight should have gone to a 3rd round. He frustration on the door though would have been better directed at Rashad or Titties, would have been more entertaining and positive to the show.

Although I've like Rashad in the season, enjoyed his coaching and how he's really supportive of his guys and sometimes the guys on Jackon's team. In the last two episodes he's started to get to cocky and smart for his own good. When the coaches were calling out the fighters to discuss the Quater Final Matches I hated how he kept reminding us that Rampage only has one fighter and that it'll be a while for he gets to call him in. I was at that moment screaming at my TV for Rampage to stand up and kick his head off his shoulders.

It was 4:3 and they did'nt convert to pal format. Bravo are going to the pits. Most of the other broadcasts are pixelated.

I believe the footage came from CBS in the states.

Pretty crude, but funny.

Shitty fight in TUF 10.9.

how the judges work I have no freaking idea

Isn't Dana the all powerful President of the UFC? So why doesn't he just order these fights to go to a 3rd round. If the refereeing and judging is as poor and questionable as a Premiership Referee in a United game, surely Dana should overrule them.

Roy Nelson's fights have been a joke. He's not done anything to win either of them. He beat Kimbo and never did any damage with his punches. Kimbo was just laid there taking in some breaths waiting for the referee to stand it up.

As far as I'm aware the athletics commision provide the judges and the ref for any licensed bout. Makes sense that they're independant from the promoters to avoid any serious allegations of corruption and fight fixing.

If anyone is aware of the UFC 105 prelims, all of the fights have ended in KO or submission.

Paul Taylor vs. John Hathaway will be starting soon before the main card begins.

This is the part where I step away from this thread because Spike TV is airing this for free at 8:00 PM PT on delay instead of PPV!

^ Not much of a surprise really. I could give a couple of guesses.

Well, I think it'd be a surprise if he wasn't on the gas when he was in WWE, it may be side effects of that.

From the quotes I read from White, I didn't think it would be anything to do with steroids.

Shane McMahon in the UFC would be interesting and surprising!

EDIT: Dana Quotes at http://www.ifight365.com/2009/11/ufc...-indefinitely/

Really enjoyed UFC 105 last night. Spike aired 2 prelim fights. What a KO by Gustafsson!

Couture beat Vera in my book. Vera gave Couture way too much leeway to do whatever he wanted in the wrestling game.

Hardy will get destroyed by GSP unless he learns that hurting your opponent doesn't mean shooting for the takedown. Swick could've been KOed last night instead of getting to a decision.

I don't think anyone in the ww division can live with GSP's wrestling. I wouldn't fancy Hardy's chances of lasting 5 rounds, let alone winning.

Ross Pearson was great, he previously seemed to have a nerve problem, but he fought a very tight sweet fight showing some amazing skill, speed and accuracy. I hope he does well, he's a good little ambassador.

No idea what it is about Bisping but he irks me. He seems too involved with the crowd and what they're thinking and it seems an odd thing to say but even though he beat Kang his punching, kicking and general skill in that fight was horrible.

Dan Hardy makes me smile. I love confident arrogance, and even if it pisses people off, it's an important tool in the box. He's a heartbreaker and I think that'll be important with the fight with Georges. GSP is a machine no doubt but he is petrified of the loss and negative reponse and that could lead to nerves, especially against a cocky new boy like Dan. I don't think that fight will be as cut and dried as most people think.

Couture/Vera was predictably shit. Randy is an old favourite of mine, but he has seriously overstayed his welcome. Couple that with an unambitious journeyman like Vera and you're in for three rounds of sighing.

Some amazing KOs for Winner and Gustafsson.

Roll on 106 - I'm looking forward to Rumble getting hold of Koscheck.

Should be a great fight. It's good to see Rumble on a full UFC card rather than the fight night cards he seems to always be on.

There are a lot of rumours doing the rounds that Lesnar's mystery illness will mean that he never fights again. Not seen anything concrete yet though.

From wrestlingobserver.com:

Some really fat fighters in the UFC.

Just saw one, but he collapsed at the end of round 1 unable to stand up. Still, not as bad as Sapp vs Kimo, though at least he made it to Round 2.

Do you guys get the UFC Fight Night cards? They air on Spike here but I'm not sure it airs in the UK.

The next FN will be in Virginia on January 11th and will have Nate Diaz vs. Gray Maynard in the main event with Efrain Escudero vs. Evan Dunham the co-main event.

I like free fight cards but Gray Maynard is one of the most boring fighters in the UFC.

Sherdog.com reports the main event of UFC 109 on February 6th is Randy Couture v Mark Coleman.

Setanta used to show the Fight Night cards when they had the rights, so I'm guessing that ESPN will do so as well.

Why the hell would the UFC make Randy fight coleman?? What a poor match up.

They never actually fought in their primes if i'm not mistaken..I have no problem with this fight given its between 2 HOFers..And for once it would be nice to see randy enter a fight without ppl giving the underdog rhetoric..
My problem is that this fight is going to be a co-main event due to the rash amount of injuries
