That Jesamyn Duke girl looked good uses her length well and seems to have a really good ground game but he lack of physical strength may turn out to be a problem against some of the bigger stronger women.
I didn't watch it but all the competitors at least on the men's side look mediocre, none of the male competitors sound remotely better than mid tier. I was reading bleacher report and bloodyelbow on how the fighters went is where I got my info.
Baszler shouldn't even be in this. She should already be in the UFC. How they fought based on experience I think Duke showed the most potential. Out of the men, that black guy that survived cancer seemed to have plenty of power and the team alpha male kid showed some slick BJJ.
Sorry for not remembering the names of some of the fighters but I've only seen the episode once, late last night on my laptop so my concentration wasn't the best. I hope to watch the episode again tomorrow.
Just watching it now, and when I hear this stuff with Rousey saying that she and Tate are meant to be rivals, I cant help but thinking "Who cares about Tate? Cyborg would knock this bitch out".
I watched about 40 minutes of the first episode, not impressed, not very entertained. Switched it to Always Sunny instead. Don't plan on tuning in much, I think the annoying level from the coaches is going to be through the roof. Season ought to be about as good as TUF is I'd imagine, not good. Heard the show bombed in the ratings as well, not surprised, I don't think Rousey is the draw some people wish she is.
I agree...I tried watching the replay and decided it just wasn't worth it given all the skips and buffering I was going to have to do to skip those unwatchable chick fights...and I can't stand Tate on my television.
Awful season...hopefully Dana never pulls this crap again.
Yeah, the thing is the first episode of TUF is usually the best of the entire season by a very wide margin. Just wasn't getting all that into the action edited in front of me Wednesday night. Didn't sound like I missed anything all that noteworthy after switching channels.
I liked the woman fighters more then then men by a huge margin,
the woman that comes from a huge fighting family that lost i was pissed about for she was damn good on the ground, hopefully she gets a chance to come back
You mean Berto? She threw like one punch standing and to me it looked like she has her family athleticism, Andre might not be a great boxer, but as far as explosiveness and speed... nobody bar maybe Melvin Guillard come even close.
chick fights were great, I for one am looking forward for this season. Last season was great too IMO.
The level of talent, I don't even care, as long as it's fun to watch.
I enjoy watching fights with more "average" fighters too because they tend to go for it more. I like the chess match as much as anybody, but average fighters more often than not get into slugfests.
gotta love that nerdy girl too, I was impressed with her awareness in the cage.
I'll be pulling for Tate this season. There's just something about Rousey that I just don't like at all. Not sure if it's the arrogance, or underlying sense of entitlement, chuck the toys out the pram attitude or what.
Just can't put my finger on it but I'd dare to say Tate comes off this season having gained more fans than Ronda.
Just watched the first episode and I already know that I will be fast forwarding through all the drama ESPECIALLY the drama between Ronda and Miesha. I literally hated it from the moment Tate walked through the door and Ronda was getting all passive aggressive.
I've been watching football on FOX pretty much all afternoon and must've seen the TUF Ronda vs Miesha promos a million times. They're really hyping this season up.
I can't stand some of the girls personalities. Shayna looked like she was just trying her hardest to do a Michelle Rodriguez on screen impression, and Peggy seems like she is arrogant about her size. "I wouldn't wanna fight me." You're only 2-0, relax. I hope she gets humbled by someone significantly smaller than her.
I hope The Happy Warrior wins it all.
