Guest Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Ya it was a great episode I thought. The fights were all sweet imo. Looks like a pretty good season from the promo as well. Even though I don't like Bisping I want to see the story with the donkeys lol that looked pretty funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face Kicker Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 yeah i have a feeling this will be the best season as far as antics between the coaches goes *edit* and probably as far as the fights go as well, from the look of the fights to get in the house.

Guest Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 2 hours to go till it airs in the UK, can't wait for this one though I do think that Miller and Bisping get on from the press conference and the aggro is all for a good show. Makes sense, Miller is known for bully beatdown in America and Bisping is hated so perfect combo to drum up interest if they bicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eveas Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 That diving elbow in the second fight had me fondly remembering the one Hendo did to Bisping. It was a picture perfect match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBR Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 i kept waiting for him to say some crazy shit or do something stupid but he kept it under control -- but i agree this has potential to best show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Bisping is a legend, you Yanks need to get off the hate train. He is gonna smash Mayhem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiilo Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Should be a great season judging from the first episode! Great fighters and Bisbing and Miller should prove entertaining Can't wait for more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I loved the mariachi band and the donkeys, think it should be a hell of a show and if history repeats then the house should be fun too as the lightweights tend to have little man syndrome and go nuts when they're in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Look like a good set of good fighters coming to the ufc. wonder how the Bitchbing fight might turned out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face Kicker Posted September 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Bisping is a legend, you Yanks need to get off the hate train. He is gonna smash Mayhem. a legend as far as brit fighters go, maybe, but not beyond that. he hasn't beaten any top talent yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacky67 Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 that was weird how they put the good fight first and then the shitty fight at the end but with only shortcuts to make like they was only good fight LOL ,but i liked the spoilers at the end looks like there will be some good trash talk .

Guest Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 It's all for show which is why I find it so amusing how hated he is, Bisping is quite funny and a really decent guy in real life away from the cameras. Always had time to chat randomly about anything, not just MMA either as he is a little mental too which suits me fine Think Miller is over rated fighter wise to be honest, has very good jiu jitsu but his stand up and movement is a little poor. I can see a finish for Bisping with a TKO here, then a number one contenders match where he gets smashed by Belfort or Sonnen (depending on results and title fight matchups) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see a finish for Bisping with a TKO here, then a number one contenders match where he gets smashed by Belfort or Sonnen (depending on results and title fight matchups) I respected Bisping and never got upset by his trash talk. He made it quite obvious he was just BS'ing to get a rise out of someone and didn't mean 99% of what he said. But, that changed the way he acted in the Rivera fight. That illegal knee then using it to get the KO and spitting on Rivera's corner lacked any class and turned me against Bisping. Rivera's trash talk was just as much joking as Bisping's was. He shouldn't have taken it so personal considering it is a sample of his own medicine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadlyDirk Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Great fights, man half the guys that lost and didn't even make it to the house look as good as half of the winners from some years. Could be some real wars going on this season, anything might happen in terms of people getting a second chance or wild cards coming in. I can really see a few fighters getting wins but not being able to make it to the next round due to injuries or cuts etc. Much to early to be picking out winners really but a lot of guys impressed me, some of them we only saw a minute or less of as they went in for the early kill.

Guest Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 I don't know why, but I was able to pick the winner almost every time just by looking at them as they walked to the cage. Indeed good fights, last seasons were reaaaally boring. Who wants a 3rd round to determine a wrestling match anyways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Enjoyed the first fight. If Marcus had listened to Bisping he would've probably won. Bisping kept telling him to seperate but he wasn't. Mayhem seems like a good coach, he seems to have already bonded with his fighters. But I kinda agree with Bisping, I think he picked the better fighters. Think TJ will win it, he looked great on the opening show. Good wrestler with fast hands, he'll do well.

Guest Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Out of interest, did the hate for Bisping in America stem from the Jorge Rivera thing or were you guys just bitter at how he and team UK gave team US a lesson on TUF Season 9!? Despite being from the UK I'm a huge Henderson fan and was glad he won that fight, but it seemed that Bisping was pretty popular in the US before that season of TUF and he didn't really do all that much on the show to justify the amount of hate that seemed to follow, besides win ofcourse. I lost a lot of respect for him for the knee on Rivera though, that was total bullshit. That said, he should beat Miller easilly. I like him and all, but for the life of me I dont see what qualifies Mayhem to come straight into a big fight in the UFC other being a TV personality with bully beatdown. His only real name win was a decrepit Sakuraba over a year ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 More or less. Dan Henderson's easily my favourite fighter, but there's fighters I have more hate for than Bisping. Oddly enough, those three fighters are American, and happen to be Couture, Kos, and Hughes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
