    BJ Penn. I love how relaxed he is in there, reminds me of Duran.

    A hungry and motivated Penn wipes out GSP and Hughes I think. What do you think arturo?

    No, I don't watch TUF. Reality-fake tv just isn't my thing. The only time I may ever watch TUF is if by some miniscule chance that Fedor Emelianenko was captain of a team, then I'd watch.:clap:

    Cool!!!:bears: ...

    REED Isn't sure of his Record, but St. Pierre IMMEDIATELY Stood Out to REED, the 1st Time he Saw him Fight...

    Dude is EXTREMELY Athletic...Most MMA Guys Seem to B Plodders when they're on their Feet...St. Pierre is Quick & Graceful...

    REED Saw him Beat the Shit out of Matt Hughes...

    REED Watched it for the 1st Time Last Night...

    It's a Pretty Good Show...EXACTLY like "the Contender", only an MMA Version...

    The Twist is, the Coaches LOATHE Each Other & will End Up Fighting themselves...

    That Matt Serra Dude is a HIGH STRUNG Motherfucker:lol: ...Matt Hughes MADE his Team have Bible Study & they Pray Together After Each Win or Loss...

    I've said this before, but I think Griffin is MMA's equivalent to Troy Dorsey. They both go balls out all fight long, lack true KO power, and are usually covered in their own blood sooner rather then later.

    Tyson Griffin

    Chris Liguori
    Jens Pulver
    Justin Eilers
    Ben Rothwell
    Fedor

    They may not all be great fighters or household names, but this is about who I like to watch fight, not who I think the best fighters are.

    I think its waaay better than The Contender. I cant stand the stupid ass Contender fight editing. ALso the stupid SAME EXACT sappy "im doing it for my family" shit before and after every fight. I also think the SRL voiceovers are pretty cheezy too.

    Ultimate fighter seems more "real"

    Now that's True...

    There's NO Editing of the Fights, NO Audience (Other than the 2 Teams)@ the Fight Itself & NO Auditorium...They have the Actual Fights in what Appears to B a Regular Gym...

    & The Guys R All a Bit More "Edgy" than on Contender...U KNOW the Guys on Contender WON'T come to Blows UNTIL Fightnight, but Some of the Guys on Ultimate Fighter Seem on the Verge of Going to Blows In the Living Quarters...

    REED is Shocked that Serra HASN'T Gotten in Hughes' Face yet...

    Hanzy is right on the money about Penn. He could easily be the best MMA fighter in the world P4P right now(him or Fedor). The thing that pisses me off about Penn is the son of a Bitch knows he should be at lightweight. He could make it easily as he showed for the TUF finale. He wipes the lightweight division out if he wasn't a lazy fatass.

    If he had Fedor's maturity and personality he would be.

    I agree. Even though I prefer boxing , the Ultimate fighter series is much better then the Contender.
    It seems they cut out more of the useless bullcrap in the Ultimate fighter series.

    without a doubt. The editing in the Contender series is so cheezy. The slo-mo's on punches is just horrible.
