Tried to matchmake this one - thoughts?!

It´s strange, because Peruvians in MMA have been going since Moses wore short pants.

This guy, this guy was a tough guy back in the day.

That's Kevin Borjas' coach, he was in there with him tonight

I'm watching the first two fights I missed now.

Yeah ? I couldn´t see that. That guy Ivan Pitbull was a very well known name back in the day, at least here in Brazil in the "south american scene".

Yep, he's Kevin's long time coach.

Terrible photo, but the guy Kevin hugs is Ivan:

Borhas has pieced him up end of round 2. Diaz of course ate them.

Oh of course, yeah it is him, old school luta livre legend this guy.

Dias showed his toughness. Borhas at age 25 shows signs of a prospect. Love the output and accuracy. Peruvian's should be proud he did his thang.

Your still here lol No contract for Machado for me. Maybe let him run it back but HW needs fighters. Dana likes some great value HW's

The highlight reel from Borjas' first 4 or 5 fights was him just touching guys, and they just got flattened and didn't move afterwards.

Weird power when he lands clean.

The problem will be landing clean on talented fighters going forward - but if he does, they will be stiff.

Cortez JR. stuck in DWCS purgatory? Look for him to jump in the UFC on a late notice fight step in fight. He fights how Dana likes.
Talbott impressed me even with no finish. Cortez Jr. almost feel for him.

Your still here lol

The Dude Abides.

Finishing TUF and then onto Hard Knocks

Agreed but in his advanced age he is making ever crazier decisions.

Incoming Dementia Dana? I think he signed Machado because he will swang, if wins or loses. They could give him another Wild man....

Is TUF watchable? I watched 2* episodes and stopped.

 

[Dude Incredible]

Is TUF watchable? I watched 3 episodes and stopped.

I only watch the fights. Couldn't tell you about anything else that happened.

Well are the fights entertaining any reccs on episodes? Just which episodes had entertaining fights. To repharase it.

Tons of finishes, 80% of the ones that go to decision are great. If you could queue up only the fights in a row it would be awesome.
