What to expect in future episodes.

I pretty much stayed calm, cool and collected throughout the show to this point. But that all changes. I lose my biscuits.

I promised that there wouldn’t be no “WWE” antics and I kept that as long as I could. Let’s just say that the next episode could be called “Meltdown.”

I have a lot more respect for Pulver after watching the show.
He's really working to get his fighters to their best for them and he seems like a good coach and person. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I agree. I'm still a huge BJ fan and love the way he fights but Jens honestly looks like he's a great coach. I wouldn't be surprised if he opens his own gym sometime soon.

I still think BJ is trying to teach his guys a lot, but from what I could tell he didn't take charge of the guys and set strict rules.

The best comment on by one of the fighters in reference to next weeks episode was something along the lines of " it was the most technical street fight ive ever seen". At which point you see the 2 fighter going at it outside the house with someone trying to lock in a arm bar on the grass.

It's about respect. No one likes to be punked and no one likes to be dismissed...and no one deserves to be treated that way. I think Jens gets that. I think he always has.

Next episode looks fantastic. I can't wait!

A couple of things...First for the who is a better coach thingy its called editing guys, you make any situation you want out of 100's nay 1,000's of hours of tape and they did that with BJ's coaching I think. Maybe it isn't as much fun to watch because you don't a crazy mofo like Corey Hill going around screaming and shit but he is teaching them. As far as taking control Penn doesn't seem like someone who would agree with that statement; he is there to train/teach these guys not be their daddy. Secondly, yeah Pulver goes off because they are trying to pick the quarterfinal fights and are not agreeing. I am just wondering who they want to have fight that would cause Pulver to metldown.

Who cares if Jens plays videogames? A lot of fighters play games, online games, console games...you name it. Its a fun way to pass the time and put your mind on somthing else for a change...


EDIT: LOL...who neg repped me and said "shut it?" lmao?
I'm pretty sure Iron was joking. As far as the neg rep goes I'll rep you to negate it.

EDIT: HAHA, I got a 'shut it,' too.

During Dana's pep talk to Penn (the one that motivated Weems' dismissal from Team Penn) he did mention that the guys needed more cardio training the Penn was giving them. Penn is a cocky guy and I can see him leaving his guys a little in the cold about the harder training, if only because he thinks the good fighters should be able to do their own cardio training.

Didn't know that as I missed of the episode cuz my wife wanted me to help her with something. Well, BJ isn't known for his cardio anyway. And I can also see Penn being like that is thier responability.

Yea, in editing they can make it look anyway they want, and I think people use that as an excuse. Oh they made me look bad with their editing. But with BJ's coaching, Dana White confirmed what the cameras were showing us. When he jumped BJ's ass, he flat out said he wasn't coaching them like he should. Even brought up Shamrock and said you don't want to be remembered being as bad a coach as Shamrock. Man That says alot. Dana wouldn't had to get on him if he really was doing a good job coaching these guys. Dana sees it all, not just what the cameras are showing us. BJ has always been lazy with his training because he can usually fall back on his natural ability to get him by. But we have seen it time and time again, he gasses, His cardio has always been his down fall and hes doing the same thing to these guys he's coaching. Sorry, that ain't no ones fault but his own!
