MMA Fighting on Twitter has Bocek's weight at 156 lbs, the same as his opponents'.

[Benjamin]

Dear God, this filler is unbelievably horrible. They should get some fighter interviews in or something. Like, the Greg Jackson one was interesting, need more stuff like that.

[Benjamin]

Ouch, that's the second time Heun has lost via armbar in a fight to get into the house.

Lyman Good was basically just in there to rip into Bellator.

Lyman Good was basically just in there to rip into Bellator.

Yeah, I didn't watch much but saw that. It came across as really tacky.

[Benjamin]

It was. Not to mention that Good hasn't been champ since 2010. If it had been his opponent that just said it was OK, but Dana saying anything was so childish.

But in no way surprising.

[Benjamin]

Also this one episode was better than the horrible TUF Brazil by miles.

Anyone saw the Chael and Wandy brawl? So fucking embarrassingly staged.

[Benjamin]

Yes, I'm triple posting, but Shields signing with the WSOF makes me excited. Shields versus Okami, Shields versus Fitch, Shields versus Palharaes are all really fun fights.

[Chael P. Sonnen]

The only season of TUF I could really get into was the Rousey-Tate.... and then Chael "I wanted to buy WWE that one time" Sonnen refused to apologise to the people of Brazil.

Khabib Nurmagomedov as a child. Wrestling a bear.

What. The. Fuck.

So yeah, it turns out I was wrong, it actually is Nurmagomedov in the video. What?!

Khabib is infact... The real life Zangief.

Shields versus Fitch

I actually fear that if this fight happens the resulting lack of action could cause the universe to implode.

I decided against watching this series of TUF, the Edgar/Penn coaching does nothing for me considering that they obviously greatly respect each other and I've seen ten rounds of them fighting before which was as good as 100-90 (at least 98-92) to Edgar at a time when Penn was considered one of the best P4P.

The Good/Bellator bashing has been widely criticised with implications that they only had him on the show to embarrass Bellator and deliberately gave him the worst fight for him stylistically so he'd struggle. Seems ridiculous to target an individual and his career just to slightly show up your competition.

[Benjamin]

Lack of action? What.

Just because they're not idiotic stand and bangers does not mean they are inactive fighters.

[Walker]

Not as if we're getting Shields vs. Askren!

[Rich]

Shields doesn't exactly get my motors running, but Fitch's recent fights have been fairly entertaining, he isn't quite the grinder he used to be.

[Walker]

TUF has bored me for a while. Today I discovered the missing element was a guy named Doug Sparks. Unfortunately he didn't make it into the house though, so the show goes back to boring.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

The opener for TUF wasn't bad actually. Looks like a good group of guys too which could make for some exciting fights. Penn is worth it alone too, already had me laughing.

I've skipped through most of the Brazil version, only really tuned in to see the Sonnen stuff. I think I actually dislike Wanderlei more than any fighter right now, would love to see Sonnen beat him.

[Benjamin]

The Wanderlei and Sonnen stuff is just terrible. TUF looks like it's gonna' have some fun fights, I agree. Will just be tuning in to watch the fights for now, because fighters in the TUF house are just insufferable.

[Gazz]

Absolute bullshit decision on the prelims in the Ortiz/Borg fight.

[HC]

Yoel Romero is a goddamn monster.
