    I hate TUF for several reasons but I'll give this one a pass because I might get a laugh or two out of this one.

    What Could U Possibly "Hate" about TUF, Other than the Way Dana While UNNECESSARILY Inserts Himself into Every Episode???:dunno:

    I've got:

    Dollaway on one fight: tko2 over 9-1 joe bunch

    Rivera on two fights: tapout 2 loss to 6-1 tim Kennedy and tko 3 win over naseem levy.

    Zachrich in one fight: loss arm trap 1 to danny ruiz

    It's so damn hard for mE to keep these 'no name' mma guys straight because good guys tend to end matches so fast and mediocre guys all do similar things. Anyway, if I remember correctly, Dollaway was good. However, I may be remembering him for not being good, but being hyped. haha...so I'm no help except to say that fights on video for at least these 3 guys exist.

    Should be entertaining. I don't expect any of the 0-0 guys to make the house.

    I can't wait either! This one should be one of the best since the coaches will be entertaining as well!

    32 fighters? :dunno:

    odd choices for the coaches, but it should make for high entertainment, which is what they are obviously going for. It's also interesting that Forrest is a "tuf pioneer" who has been there before, that might be an advantage for his team.

    I'm not sure what kind of coaching skills Rampage or Forrest will have, of course, that's not really the point of the show. I'm sure a lot of the real training will be done by the other coaches, and won't be televised.

    This should be entertaining as hell. Both are funny, come off as extremely likable, and can fight. I'm sure at some point, tempers will flare between the two, and that should be interesting since that isn't a side you normally see from either fighter.

    this season should be great

    even if they have no coaching skills they seem like the kinda guys who would work with the fighters

    unlike BJ Penn who almost kicked off that andy lee kids head :lol:

    i have a buddy who tried out for the 155 pound season, won all his prelim fights but didnt get on the show due to lack of experience (though that black dude, corey?, lied and got on)

    my buddy was cole millers grappling coach and worked at charles mccarthys gym in florida

    So Far, So Good...

    WRITERS Couldn't Come Up w/the Shit that Rampage & Forrest Say...

    "I'm Looking for Guys that R UGLIER than Me. I Don't Want Any Good Looking Guys on my Team"- Forrest...

    "When they Found Out they were Fighting Today, I Think I Lot of 'em CRAPPED their Pants. I Could SMELL It"- Rampage...

    They were too nice to each other IMO. They have a fight to promote too, so I'm sure that has something to do with it.

    It was VERY Weird...

    The Cat that Rude Boy KO'ed Last Season Sorta did the Same Thing, but NOT as LOUD or as Looooooong as the Cat Last Night Did...

    Dude was OUT!!!....CONCIOUS, yet GONE...He Couldn't even REMEMBER what Happened...Kept Asking if it was a Practice Session or a Fight...

    The Shot that Dropped him DIDN'T Look All that Great, but the Followup, Ground & Pound Shots were Nice...

    That was 1 of Serra's Guys, by the Way:lol: ...

    You could tell the way he targeted the chin while the guy was prone. That's the exact same way that Serra took out St. Pierre. In fact I thought of that while watching but only found out that it was Serra's boy because you posted it just now :lol:

    REED LIKES the "Fight your Way Into the House" Premise, but it DOESN'T Necessarily NEED to B Televised...

    Have a NON Televised Fight Session where Guys EARN their Way On...SCREEN Them Initially for Personality, Character & Whatnot, THEN Make the Selected Guys Fight Each Other ON T.V....

    w/the PERSONALITIES of Forrest & Rampage, U DON'T Need to LIMIT them...But 2 Episodes Worth of Fights Did JUST that...The BEAUTY of T.U.F. is U Get 40-50 Minutes of ANGST, AGGRESSION, IMMATURITY & PERSONALITY, Followed by 10-20 Minutes of ACTUAL Fighting...

    Part of the BRILLIANCE of Forrest & Rampage is how they Interact ON THE FLY, Regardless of WHERE or WHAT Situation...They'll FILL those Initial 40-50 Minutes w/EASE...This Thread'll Probably B 20 Pages Looooooong w/Quotes from those 2, by the Time the Show is Over...

    REED would Rate the 1st 2 Episodes a "B" @ Best, but Now that the "House" Guys R Established, we'll See MORE of Forrest & Rampage N VARIOUS Settings & the Show will Pick Up from There...

    Last Years Season of T.U.F. is REED's 1st EVER...

    REED has Seen 2-3 T.U.F. MARATHONS for That PARTICULAR Season, N the Last 6 Months...

    So Don't Worry, U'll Get PLENTY of Chances to See the Latest Edition:lol: ...

    REED is Kinda DISAPPOINTED they Haven't Done Marathons for OLDER Seasons...REED's Cheap Ass Doesn't Wanna have to Buy the Old DVD's...

    Yeah, it was scary and Dana White can go fuck himself with his "I hate that pussies get on the show so this year we are going to make them earn it."

    Anyone who thinks that winning a fucking fight and quitting or getting kicked off the show have anything in common doesn't know what the fuck they are talking about. Please, someone try to argue with mE about that.

    Then you've got guys who expected to be on the show quitting their jobs, etc. because they've got a shot at the bigtime and wam bam they are gone in 2 days. And please, someone tell mE what they got paid for their trouble of going in there and getting their asses kicked to try to qualify for the show after they expected to be in it. I KNOW it won't be much, and yet fuckwit White and his billionaire bosses will continue to rape the living hell out of the guys who made and make them wealthy.

    But, hey, it makes for good entertainment so who cares?

    Until ELITE Level MMA Guys Take a STAND TOGETHER, it AIN'T Happening...

    If Guys like Rampage, GSP, Serra & BJ Penn Went on STRIKE SIMULTANEOUSLY, they could MAKE Shit Happen IMMEDIATELY...Dana White COULDN'T Afford to VACATE All of those Titles @ 1nce...

    Only Problem is, they're All @ the Age where they NEED EVERY Dollar they can Get...The NEXT Generation of UFC Guys (like 5-10 Years from NOW) will B the 1's that ALTER the Amount MMAists Get Paid...

    Fedor's TRYING to Set the Trend Financial NOW...
