Looked very impressive in his fight and I thought his opponent did as well.

I don't get the channel here. I need to find it by alternative methods...

I did read a few weeks back Dana White said he thinks there's a future champion in this group of guys.

i thought the tone and presentation of the show was a lot better. It was also filmed differently aswell than past seasons. only down side to that it sometimes that documentary style made the actual fights they showed come off weird. I know they had to condense 14 fights down though. they had to make a change because the i just wanna bang bro guy was too much. nobody gives a **** about seeing the drama in the house. I heard its less focused on that this year.

Rampage Jackson says Jon Jones' oblique kick should be banned from UFC competition - MMAmania.com

Yeah the first episode always seems condensed because of the number of fights. Seems like this season is gonna be good, I'm looking forward to it.

Did you see that gif!!! Omg lol

[b1adesofcha0s]

Matt Hughes officially retired today. He does have some executive position lined up in the UFC though.

[Sibze]

Nice. I like him

So I'm liking the new season of TUF so far. From last night's episode, anyone else think that Jones' team is the most unappreciative team ever on TUF? They were b1tching and crying sooooo much about every little thing. It really annoyed me when they were crying about not getting all the match ups they specifically wanted and not even supporting their team mate who was up to fight. It contrasted well with the scene with Uriah Hall (my pick to win the season) telling Sonnen he wants to fight the best fighters from the other team. That's the attitude they all should have. If you really are the ultimate fighter you should be able to beat whoever you end up facing.

Can't wait to see who got KO'd next week.

I am ready for the PPV this weekend. I want to see Aldo destroy Edgar. Edgar says he's heard this story before. I have a feeling this isn't the same story.

I would think Cella gets KO'd just because Hall looks like the kind of guy who could deliver a devastating KO.

[speedfreek]

Yea but look at their records Hall only has TKO's. Cella has KO(s) to his credit. They do show Sonnen running to the cage in one of the cuts from next week. That could very well be just editing. It better be as amazing as Dana says it is.

[b1adesofcha0s]

Well I guess we'll just have to wait and find out. I hope it's good too.

[b1adesofcha0s]

Very interesting. Wonder if this will change how they make title fights if they have "official rankings" for fighters.

[speedfreek]

It hasn't stopped them before. It looks like if Rashaad loses Weidman may get his shot. That is the last thing Dana is waiting on is to see what happens Saturday and if Rashaad wants to drop weight for a title fight. So we should see a motivated Suga on Saturday.

My picks:

Aldo vs Edgar - Aldo by TKO. I hate Edgar and hope he gets destroyed. Dominick Cruz puts no faith in him and says he is already training for Edgar cuz he figures when he loses Saturday that he will drop all the way down to face him for the bantamweight title. That right there will bust the "official" rankings. It will always be about the most interesting fight they think will draw more attention from the fans.

Evans vs Nogueira - Evans by TKO

Overeem vs Silva - Overeem by KO but dont sleep on Silva if he gets Reem on the ground he does damage with those hammer fist.

Fitch vs Maia - snooze fest I am going to give it to Fitch for lay and pray

Benavidez vs McCall - McCall by decision. I would like to see him get his shot at the title again since he got screwed since people can't read.
