The Ultimate Fighter Season 23

Lol, the crack addict looking girlfriend shouting 'KILL HIM! BREAK HIS ARM' on the last fight made me chuckle.

 

Some decent fights, and a few good lookers in the house, but the WMMA still looked incredibly one dimensional and it seemed almost every dude gassed if it went to the 2nd.

As for the cameos, One girl trained under Dan Henderson, So he was there. One girl was friends with Holly Holm, so they had her via web in the back story, the same girl was Keith Jardine's fiance, so he was there. Another girl was friends with Meisha Tate and Brian Caraway, so they were there.

Ultimate Fighter is mostly rigged ... scripted ...

Is that why I like it so much because I like WWE?

Really good fights and there looks to be some decent talent for both the men and the women. My favorite part was when some girl in her back story(can't remember her name) said she had finished all her fights and she was making herself out to be this beast then they show her record as 1-1. Don't know why but I was cracking up when I saw that.

 

I tuned in mostly for the same reason as PBR. I don't think any girl's stood out as being very attractive but I'll watch anyway just to see the broken English trash talk between JJ and Claudia.

TUF continues to scrape the bottom of the barrel. Is this the first time they've had 0-1 fighters?

 

I didn't really see anyone who impressed me. Khalil will clearly lose to any real grappler who has more than a round of activity in them.

 

Maybe the fella who claimed to be a top NCAA wrestler and a champion sub grappler might make some waves. Anyone remember his name? He beat this season's "Next Jon Jones" in a fight montage? I'd like to look into his background.

I can't really fault the UFC for having so many 0-1, 1-1 fighters for the women's 115 division. The pool isn't really that deep. Clearly none of the women will be fighting for the title any time soon.

 

Some of the guys have potential, but there are a few that look like they are fighting above their normal weight.

Khalil is a fucking beast, I'm worried about his ground game but man, that was the most vicious body kick I think I've ever saw. Dude hits so fucking hard, he is dangerous.

 

Finishing sequence starts at 6:20:

 

 

Should really watch the vid to hear the sound but for lazy people:

Is there anywhere on the Internet to watch this from the uk

 

All the fights are on the UFC TUF channel:

To have a weak groundgame in TUF is a death sentence. The matchups are strategic and adversarial, not favorable and protective the way it sometimes is in the real show.

 

While Dana's matchmaker might set this guy up with people he can beat, the opposing coach will say "That guy is vulnerable to grapplers. We will match him with our best grappler and eliminate him as a threat." I mean, what would you do if you were picking fighters to take out khalil? All you need is a guy who has decent takedowns and ground game and can go for more than 5 minutes.

 

I don't remember how the teams shook out, but if I were coaching against Khalil I'd send Andrew Sanchez. He's my #1 pick to win it all and I think he'd have an easy time with him.

No, it was his Khalil vs his training partner Corey Hendrix and I fought Khalil was going not him out but it didn't happen.

Anyone get that feeling that maybe Joanna is going down the same path as Ronda did on Tuf. She was awful this episode and annoyed the shit out of me. I really hope she stops with all that bs. She's still no where near as cunty as Ronda though.

 

Khalil v.s Cory was a good fight although neither guy showed themselves to be anything special. Cory has a good chin and good ground skills and in Tuf that might just take him to the finale. Still a pretty enjoyable season so far.

like I said before, I don't think she'll be there much longer, then of course you said, he'll bang her before she leaves. TUF after Dark.
