The best part is how Kelvin will be banging Ronda Rousey next episode at the house while Chael films it.

Nothing makes me happier then watching one of these phony ghetto boys talk about how they're going to dominate and then get finished.

I just find it irritating, having to read comments such as "their grappling sucks", from people who I bet have never trained MMA...

happens in every sport, arm chair quarterbacks everywhere.

I don't intend this in a derogatory way (in fact, I'd say it's quite a good thing), but she kind of gives off the vibe that she might be down for that sort of thing.

Not sure what it is, I just get the sense that she's down to party.

Find it irritating then.
But the fact of the matter is, a lot of people here have trained. It did not take a rocket scientist to realize the holes in their ground game.

When you have a guy in half guard, and are not doing anything to tie up their legs, you are inviting them to pass. Which is exactly what happened. you can also see when a fighter is not distributing their weight properly and see that the guy on bottom has an opportunity to sweep....again, exactly what happened. etc etc

so annoying to hear the Ronda Rousey phone call and have it spoil the fight - of course we saw her in the season preview segment. She'll come train with them if he wins, oh great.

How did the phone call spoil the fight? It's not like they had him take a call in between rounds.

I find it funny how many keyboard warriors here are insulting both fighter's grappling skills.

So because I haven't trained MMA I can't comment on fighters who are flip flopping like a couple of dolphins fucking?

Ha, MMA fans are the worst about it. It is a bit of a fraternity, but it keeps the fanbase small, when people bitch about thoughts form someone who isn't a undefeated title holder. I know MMA decently, and I talk about. I played 1 year of football in my life, i'm a pretty good armchair qb, and thankfully football fans don't remind me every 10 seconds how I didn't play whenever I have a thought about the game i'm watching.

As several posters have mentioned, there is a delay in the showtime of the fight depending on the time zone or station of its broadcast. For that reason, we ask that posters in these threads are courteous in allowing the briefest of grace periods before discussing the results. These fights are no longer shown live, either, so it's a definite no-no in sharing the results if they're leaked from the set via the usual channels today in the social media.

i understand the ban with regard to posting something that someone has seen on facebook or another forum etc. but surely if they have just watched tuf and then go into a forum stated 'tuf discussion', they can talk about it? they cant be responsible for knowing all the viewing times across the globe.

perhaps the responsibility should be on the person that hasnt seen it yet to not enter a discussion forum about the topic??

 

[Mcnugget]

Looked like he pretended to go out. Trying to trick Kelvin into releasing the choke.

Seems like a pretty complicated maneuver to pull off in a 2 second panic

Exactly. As a Vikings fan I can tell christian ponder is not a great quarterback. No I've never played professional football but I've got two eyes and a semi functional brain.

That grappling was bad. I'm no black belt but I know this.

Most experienced fighters have probably been in that position over 1,000 times and likely don't just panic.

 

[Heat13]

Anyone else start laughing at the face Bubba made when he was getting choked?

 

[knspiracy]

I felt really bad for bubba

 

[SugarNaz]

I did. And I haven't stopped yet.

That face is why he's one of the most dangerous men in the world.

 

[eon001]

Bubba seems to be one of these fighters that chokes when he has a big opportunity. Kind like Nate Marquart and even Sonnen himself talked about suffering from the same thing and having to see a sport shrink (Heard him mention it on the Rogan podcast, way before he was on TUF).
Jones mentioned it also when Bubba had to fight to get into the house.
If I recall Bubbas fight to get into the show wasn't really dominant either.

It's like he doesn't even try and defend the choke. Like he's just mentally quit and just said fuck it, I've got an easy way out.

It was spoiled by the first episode - during a clip showing Ronda training with t TUF boys. And then in this ep, she said she'd only come train if he won the fight.

It's certainly possible she could have been bluffing and then come to train anyway...but I took it as, she said she'd only come to train if he won + we see her training = he's going to win.

And I don't see the connection with taking a call in between rounds...like for fight tips? lol

Sorry, I didn't realize that you meant "spoil" as in "give away the winner", I thought you meant "spoil" as in "ruin my enjoyment of the fight". My misunderstanding.
