What does everyone think of the way Leeroy acts and what he says? I Have my own opinion but I would just like to hear everyone else's just to see some other points of view ya know.

I just think people got in his face because of frustration over losing 2 in a row... Sure he's immature and he responds like you'd expect from someone his age... So I really don't see why people got so heated over it, except the aforementioned losing-streak :)

Also, the things he was yelling out at the fight isn't out of the ordinary on those stands when you're watching a friend of yours fight :)

I won't blame him for it, I just realize he's a little immature

First off, I find it offensive that some guys think that's how people of my age behave. :p

My opinion on him is that I don't give a crap, he's just another clown planted by Spike to increase the ratings. I've started to fast forward any scene that features him. It's pretty effective, I basically never have to see his face again apart from his next fight.

Frank Mir has a definite future in broadcasting with the UFC. Some of the stuff he says to hype a fight is beyond stupid, but when he's talking normally, dissecting an issue or breaking down a fight he comes across as incredibly intelligent and speaks fantastically about the sport. He has an excellent voice for commentary too. There are guys like Chuck Liddell who clearly know what they're talking about when it comes to MMA, but I wouldn't want to hear him doing commentary, as his voice just wouldn't work. Frank is very eloquent and I enjoy listening to him speak about the sport. Passion for a subject mixed with eloquence is an excellent combination.

As for Alex Caceres. He's one of the most irritating people to ever step into the TUF house. His smile, his voice, the things he says, the arrogance, the fact he calls himself Bruce Leeroy and the fact he's not actually that good a fighter to back up all his shit talking makes for an incredibly irritating package. He makes Josh Koscheck look likeable. Can't stand him. Looking forward to the time when he eventually gets the shit kicked out of him. Is there any chance that his next opponent on TUF gets injured and they draft Anderson Silva or Brock Lesnar in for the fight? Fingers crossed.

Absolutely +1. Same with Kenny Florian, imo.

Nice to see another Seasider here on the forum AJ, I haven't met a single other serious MMA fan here in sunny Blackpool. Welcome to the forum, mate. :thumbsup:
Ha! didn't know there were any myself either. Trying to get my mates into it too. Got a few with 117, lost a few with 119 :thumbsdown: Though 120 should cement a few, it's the English way lol.

Looking the join the Sukata gym after the new year. Getting myself into shape before I join though. Do you train? If not check out Sukata MMA. Mario goes down for a masterclass on Saturday's (not that I'll ever belong there anytime soon) and Ross Pearson made an appearance not too long ago.

*Sorry for Off Topic*

I liked him at the first of the season, when he showed up in that yellow suit and the comb in his hair. I thought he was hilarious and his personality would make the show enjoyable. His trash talking does make the show much more interesting. He gets the other fighters worked up and its fun to see their reactions to his jack-assery. However, like the first reply said: He is immature and just a bit over his head. He's a good fighter however.
