The Ultimate Fighter: UK vs. USA

Anybody else watching? Been great so far, they're showing more footage of training which is something I've been wanting since the beginning. Also, Junie Browning Jr. got his ass ******* beat right off the bat, thank god, and UK team is doing well so far. Less drama and more training for once!

edit: forgot to mention than the talent seems to be... more talented. The fights have all been great so far.

Wow for some reason I haven't been following the show at all. I even recorded the series on DVR and still haven't remembered to catch it. As someone who religiously caught the other series I will need to remedy that.

Yeah I've definitely been watching this, although I am starting to find myself less interested in the UFC in a more general sense. Partly this is because of how Dana White and the UFC treat their fighters and employees I suppose, but I just haven't felt compelled by any matchups recently. They have enough talent to be putting on monthly free shows with lower/mid card guys that I'd rather watch. As it is I get interested in a guy and I don't get to see him again for a long time on a main card.

better or worse than previous seasons?

i somehow ended up watching most of seasons 2 & 3 despite it being a terrible show.

The same. No outside contact. Lots of posturing. Unlimited booze. Hijinks ensue.

Most fights aren't that great.

Bisping is a douchebag. This was apparent in the aftermath of the Matt Hamill fight, where he acted like he owned Hamill instead of receiving some home cooking. It's even more apparent on the show. He talks trash after his fighter wins, and doesn't show up for a fight that his fighter is expected to lose. I hope Hendo smashes him in the finale.

I watch this show, but not religiously. In fact, some seasons I barely watched at all because they were more like the typical reality-show trash than a show about fighting. I'm interested in the training and the fights, not the bitchy sophomoric catfighting that takes place in their kitchen. Some seasons aren't so bad, but some are.

Yeah, I haven't felt compelled to watch a UFC fight (PPV or their TV show or fight night) in a long while. the GSP and ** Penn fight was good. But I haven't really care too much since Rich Franklin got smacked around (twice!) by Silva. RF was my favorite fighter.

I like Bisping though

Pennglock · May 7, 2009

I watched the first couple episodes of this season and like what I see so far.

It seemed to me that previous seasons had been drifting toward a "Real World" format of manufactured, *****ass drama. What Ive seen of this season seems to be more focused on the fighting. It was cool to see Bisping and another coach analyzing some tape-footage.

What night do new episodes air?

lefty · May 7, 2009

Wednesday.

Last night was fun. Inbred hillbilly gets his bridge knocked out.

To be fair, it was a bridge.

That James-Frank fight, despite less than stellar cardio, was a good one! Frank was lucky James went for the arm triangle so late in the 1st. James was also surprisingly capable on his feet.

Couldn't believe Dollar's total domination either. Even taking that fight into account though, it seems like the UK team is much more focused. They know they are still neophytes in the MMA world and it drives them.

Really wish Kiel Ried didn't KO himself. Seemed like a funny guy to watch in the house, and coming out of the Militech camp I figured he was gonna put a hurting on Frank Lester. I also like the two-fights-per-episode trend this season seems to be following.

Wow, if there was any doubt that Bisping is a huge douche, all doubt should now be removed. "Sorry I didn't make it to your fight, but I overslept." What ******* jackass.
