Look for Tito to fight a great fight. Rumor has it he is going to start his own company after his contract is up and he wants to go out with a solid win.
Haters Tito is the man, and a very good business man. I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to get Trump involved if he starts his own business. Trump was very impressed with him on the Apprentice.
Call me a hater but I'm really hoping James Thompson gets in to the form he was against Frye in 2007. I know Frye is old but had the same power and relatively the striking style that Kimbo has, which is the stand in close and brawl. That match was a battle and Thompson was able to stand in there and get a KO. I think Kimbo might have some staying power as sort of a mid-level guy, but all this hype is really getting old.
Good fight last night on TUF. I was really hoping Chipper would have pulled it out. He had some vicious up kicks when he was on his back. As impressive as Tim was in his first fight and all his talk I wasn't very impressed this time.
chippers sooooo green still. Rampage looks like he gets real pissed next episode! lookin forward to that
Yeah definitely raw, he has some power though. I was surprised how easily he was throwing Tim around. If only he would have listened to Rampage and stayed on his feet at the end and slugged it out, Tim was dead on his feet.
I agree, this fight Tim looked very slugish and almost weak with bad balance. I'm thinking of rescinding my previous statement about him.
WOW that Jesse guy is possibly the dumbest person ive ever seen. I cant believe that guy has a kid. I weep for the future.

I can see an issue with Rampage that I am almost certain gets fixed, probably this week. His fighters dont listen to him. All I know is they do NOT want to piss him off. Chipper did ok, but being such a green horn you think he would have listened to his corner more.
seems to happen alot on TUF... every season some guy will lose his fight, and the entire time you will clearly hear his coach giving him instructions that he does not follow.
can't wait to see that idiot get his arse kicked next week. putting lemon juice in the guy's skoal? that's just immature.
I dont like either of them. The one guy just looks like hes trying to be a hardass redneck. The other ones just a moron.
The "redneck" is supposedly Mac Danzig's best friend. I can see why they get along. I think the other guy is gonna surprised some people though.
either way, the redneck guy hasn't bothered anybody that i've seen and keeps to himself, unlike Danzig, who was outwardly a whiny prick to everybody, the entire season. i am not opposed to practical jokes, but messing with other people's car, food, or dip (that they put in their mouth) merits a beatdown.
that brown/may fight was pretty bad. brown did nothing until may got gassed in 2mins and just stood there wide open. they were both bad imo.
Agreed, May was dumb to slack off on his training, otherwise he would have easily won. Not impressed at all with big bad Brown. They made him out to be such a badass and he was terrible. The other fight was pretty good though. Can't wait to see Rampage and Forrest get into it next week.
second fight was really good. those guys went toe to toe and just hammered each other. that was fun to watch. part of me felt like Brown was holding back to let Jeremy May punch himself out, and the other part said, hmmm maybe this is all he's got. i noticed Brown's record is 9-6, going into the fight. that is nothing special. but Jeremy May showed me nothing. his punches, with a few exceptions, were looping and slow. as soon as Brown went after him early in the fight he went down to his back and kicked up at Brown like a *****. his ground game was **** too. he got taken down and mounted twice with no defense whatsoever. "Jeremy Jitsu." whatever. and then he trash talked afterward about how it was a fluke win, and when Brown told him it was over with, shook his hand and was gracious after finishing him, Jeremy acted like he was the one who got messed with? what a tool.

Tito Ortiz plans future without UFC http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=6238&zoneid=13
You know I am mixed on this. Yes he has given then 11 years of his fighting life and the money seems disproportional, However if you look over 2/3rds of that time was when MMA was still "in the dark" He earns as much as any other top fighter, I just find this somewhat conveniant given he has lost his last 3 out of 4. The LHW division is too stacked for him to advance and he does'nt have to build to go up or down. I love his skills but I am sooo tired of people taling down UFC when they put the sport on the map and they have a roster over of 200 fighters and people want to act like they should get paid like they were Mayweather or De La Hoya. This sport just can't handle that, it's too unpredictable and if we got heavy into "co-promotion" i think it would divide the sport heavily. IMHO anyway...
most who follow have maybe heard the rumor but here it is officially.... http://www.sherdog.com/news/news.asp?n_id=12703 Mir and Nogieura are coaches for the next season of TUF. Let me already call it and say that MIR will win by armbar from the guard! hopefully anyway, it should be a fantastic graapling clinic with the top 2 BJJ heavyweights on the planet. It will odd with RN being a coach given his horrible handle on the english language, Mir's personality is great for it though.
Yeah he could've Mir does have the resume though, to be a coach. As for the title shot hopefully he is back to the 2004-2005 form, at that time, imo, he had the ability to compete with Cro-Cop and Fedor. His agility and leg flexibility seem to maybe be back to that level and if it is....he is top line.
I'm just excited for another HW TUF. Coaches are "okay". I think it will be a big drop off after having Rampage and Forrest.
wow im so suprised. he looks so smart on tv. watching Silva just absolutely destroy him was easily one of the best things Ive ever seen in the UFC.
You're such a smart alec, lol. I def. think another HW TUF is due, but like you said this might be a tough season to top.
