It begins! I've got a good feeling about this season.

casey is defiantly the one in the ambulance but hall is the one fighting next week so that will be either saved for later or maybe its a horrible training accident

Gilbert seems like a pretty nice dude but man he doesn't really have much skills. Packing that much muscle one would have thought he would be much stronger than the lankier Barnett and be able to drag him down much easier. He had such a tough time taking Barnett down. His single leg attempts looked real slow and sloppy, no changing levels or anything.

Can't wait to see Uriah Hall in action. I'm okay with Samman as of now, but I can't stand Bubba. Someone please knock that dude out.

Wow..My wife and I got so heated last night at Bones team. The way they were treating Gilbert was just wrong. He seemed like a real good dude, he showed up to fight and got KO'd and then they still talked smack. Total classless punks. I was a little upset with Jon Jones as well for not stepping up and being a coach.

Feel so sorry for Gilbert that all he heard leading up to his big fight was reasons his teammates should doubt him. Bubba and Josh and Team Jones need to understand, and use people-skills. Gilbert went into that fight surrounded by negative energy in a poorly picked out fight.

Jones was right, Glibert lost the fight before he got in the cage. But it's Team Jones that done the damage.

Barnatt was sloppy but I like the guy, and hope he goes all the way to the Finale.

I laughed so hard at frank mirs face when they all cornered him in the locker room about Gilbert. I've never seen someone care so little haha.

Have you not seen this interview? Where he pretty much tears guys who cry on TUF apart?

This was right after he got done with TUF. He was getting torn apart for his attitude on the show.

I dont believe in this "lost before you entered the cage" shit. To me, you can have whatever enegry or mood walking in, but at the end of this you're opponent is trying to smash your face in. Gilbert gave it a good shot but just plain old wasn't good enough. His team were wrong completley, but I think to blame the energy they gave him for losing was wrong. He was a small beastly wrestler, and in Jones eyes he was taking it down and finishing the fight. In the end, he actually had worse grappling and had people have seen how weak Luke's striking was to be, the strategy would have been beating him down on the feet. The strategy was just a bit hard to predict and he lost. Wether the team were behind him or wether Gilberthad belief in himself is irrelevent to me.

It's like AS. People say "Bonnar or Forrest went in to "try their best", but Im going in to win". Irrelevent, they all lost.

That Bubba guy is a c**t. Spent the entire episode whining as if his career was directly on the line. That scene where he went to frank to bitch was ridiculous; as if Frank can just be like "Yea we don't want Gilbert to fight anymore, put Bubba in instead." If you need to cherry pick every single fight to win, then you're not good enough to be the Ultimate Fighter. **** that guy. There was another guy doing it too but I don't remember his name. Whatever, he's a c**t too.

Josh Samman and Bubba Macdaniels were the 2 I hate and everyone seems to agree with me here and on other forums that they are both dickheads
 
#62 ·
exactly, I bet you anything sonnen wanted jones to pick those 2 and cella too because he knew the bad character and skills of those 2. I predict dylan andrews and clint hester to make it to quarter finals from team jones and the rest team sonnen

In that position I wouldn't feel exactly over the moon to hear my teammates opinions on why I would not be up for a big fight that has a huge impact on my career and my life.

They surely can't get mad at Gilbert after that.

Man I felt for Gilbert. Had no team behind him at all, it was truly pathetic. Though Jones talking to him in the locker room was cool, but everyone else was just being a complete dick.

I really liked Gilbert, everyone has the right to be nervous and when he said I'm here to fight whoever made me think more of him. That's the attitude I want to see, I think if he'd have kept him standing he'd have had Luke in trouble.

I want Gilbert for wildcard, early to say but he jumps way above the bitchy teammates.

I can't help but be disappointed in Jones. Gilbert could likely wreck a few of the fighters from Sonnen's team, but Jones clearly didn't do his research and picked an awful fight. That and he was certainly quick to throw Gilbert under the bus after he lost. 'Gilbert didn't step up' and 'Gilbert lost the fight before he stepped into the cage' was a nonsense thing to say considering Gilbert fought hard right up until the KO. Had Jones done more to throw some support behind Gilbert prior to the fight, who knows what might have been. You can't allow your team to ambush a fighter, tear him down, and not expect it to be of some consequence. Jon should have told his team what was up, but instead he and his fellow coaches couldn't have cared less.

Granted, who knows what was said off camera.
