He is just to big for LHW. Alex Gustaffason is the only one with a similar frame that can match his range. Belfort is the only one who has threatened him in a title fight with a submission attempt.

I didn't say he would be champion at HW, but he would be very competitive if he put on some more muscle. He'd be top 5 or at least top 10 IMO.

I think the fighting scenes will be great, but actual acting scenes could be terrible.

Uriah Hall is a freaking beast! I was annoyed when Josh kept saying he was the only one in the house to win all his fights by KO. There was one other person and he also sent 2 straight opponents to the hospital with his KO's. I think Hall will win the show and I'm excited to see how he does against some higher level opponents in the UFC.

Yea pretty much Uriah Hall has this in the bag.

Sucks Gustaffason wont be fighting this weekend. I was hoping he would get a shot at Jones after this fight. Hoping there are some good fights.

Interesting story

I love this story. I 100% support Matt Mitrione.

well its interesting as Joe rogan went on a rant about that on his podcast and there was no real backlash and he used some colorful language about the situation much more in depth that what matt said that even made TMZ...but i guess its a little different as he is a comedian so they tend to get more of a pass and prefaced much of what he said with he has no issue against transgender people and he respects them its just fighting is a contact sport and fox has no business fighting women. everything rogan said was spot on though. matt just made some quick comments and i guess the "disgusting" thing was what was over the line for the UFC :dunno:

so i mean i dont think mitrione should have gotten suspended as it just seemed like some off the cuff remarks.. forrest had some mild rape comments and apologized and then i think miguel torres was fired for the rape joke ( that he repeated from a sitcom) but then hired back. So i think it was an over reaction to mitrionne

UFC is really getting PC on a lot of stuff lately because of the NY thing i had more of an issue with them "banning(sort of )" jamey jastas hatewear from the ring... as some of you might know jasta is the lead singer of hatebreed and the clothing company sponsors a bunch of MMA guys. white wouldnt let their music be used in a recent walkout or the logos to be used as there is a small group of misinformed people who think their music is tied to racism. anyone who knows the band knows thats totally untrue as all their lyrics are motivational

Uriah Hall! This might be the most excited I've been for a TUF finale ever.

yeah he is good enough to get a top 185 fighter for his first fight if/when he wins

I was a bit worried that he might be one of those guys that's very explosive at the beginning of a fight, but gasses out by the 2nd or 3rd round. Seemed to do pretty well with that in this fight. Was able to pace himself and make all of his strikes explosive and powerful. If he wins the show, I would like to see him go up against a top 10 opponent with his first fight.

Is it too early for me wanting to see Uriah Hall vs Anderson Silva? Possibly so but in a year if he wrecks the other contenders that fight better happen I will take that fight if they cant get the Silva vs Jones fight done.

Definitely too early for that. It's one thing to be dominant against fighters on TUF, but completely different to do the same against top level fighters in the UFC.

Yea I know just wishful thinking on my part. Just want to see Silva actually in a fight. Closest he has come was with Sonnen on PED's. Maybe Weidman can pull something out of his ***.
