ye me to, the fight was good. But not nearly good enough to be the best fight out of all the seasons.

Did you guys notice that when Emmerson was in the choke, he basically threw up his hands, like he didn't really know what he could do. He looked frustrated, not scared or damaged. If he had trained for that, I think he could have kept going. He wasn't outclassed by Diaz, just out-aggression'ed (my new word). To me, some of these guys really improve through the course of the season. It sucks to see a good guy go down early.
Diaz is too caught up in his pride. It's embarrassing to watch that school-yard drama.

It may be embarrassing, but it's expected. After all, he is a Diaz. They are a nutty bunch.

Yeah. I have to wonder what these guys think when they watch the episodes after it's all said and done. You know what I mean? I have a thirteen year old and this kid acts more mature than some of these fighters.
I would think that confidence is a huge factor in MMA. If so, BJ's team seems to be the underdog.

So I basically know all the fighters now so I'm going to attempt to predict the rest of the preliminary fights.

Next fight - Marlon Sims vs. Joe Lauzon - The next episode has a Marlon preview so I'm thinking he'll be the next to fight, the camera showed Lauzon when Marlon was running his mouth so I think this fight will go on. I'm rooting for Joe. Prediction: Joe

Next fight. BJ gets to pick his first fight - Gabe vs. Wayne. Seems as if Gabe wanted to fight Wayne, BJ will probably let it happen. Prediction: Gabe

Next fight, Gray vs. Corey - I'm thinking BJ will want his supposively best guy to take out Hill, considering the last episode obviously shown that Corey isn't where he needs to be. I think he'll put up a fight, but probably lose. Prediction: Gray

Next fight, Wiman vs. Brian - no reason why really. Prediction: Wiman

Next fight, Andy vs. Brandon - no reason. Prediction: Brandon

Let's see how I do.

I do know that the next round is going to be nuts. Once all the scrubs are gone this is going to be a REAL exciting season.

Oh daaaammmn. Got a feeling we're gonna see are man Corey fight tonight fella's!

[Uchi]

WTH! why isn't he trying to take it to the ground? AHHHHH! >.<

I totally agreed with BJ and have to say that guy is a freaking idiot. I never want to see him fight again. He annoyed the hell out of me when his whole team is telling him to take the guy down and all he does is try to brawl with a guy that's at least 20 pounds heavier and getting the better of the striking.

Overall, that fight just pissed me off. What a waste of my time.

Cha-ching. Didn't get the right episode though.

Well now that Corey/Gabe are fighting next week that ****s things all up.
