Fedcro

He can't, the people who cannot be replaced to fight in the semi finals are, Jared, War machine, Dorian, Roman(although hes not in, but he will be fighting at the finale)Richie, Troy, I think I'm missing some but I gave somewhat of most of the meltdown basically to everyone.

Fedcro.

I think you're right. I'm thinking Tommy's arm is screwed up from that submission. That thing was in there pretty deep.

Well possible spoiler since I never verified the source. I read on another forum that Mac posted a blog saying he would be fighting in the final. I read this a few weeks ago.

I agree with what you said about George. I think he will pick Tommy apart and probably where him out. If it goes to the ground I think George will probably submit him. I see Danzig beating Arroyo. The finals should be good if these two guys make it. I think Danzig will win.

I don't think Tommy is getting cleared to fight anymore. But who cares hes kind of boring anyway. George vs. Birdfeeder in the finals.

"But, I wouldn't trade in the experience... As you will see by watching the show, it was definitly worthwhile and all the sacrifices (even being exploited and judged on national tv) were, and are going to be well worth it...

Look at me, I'm rambling..."

I posted this in one other thread, to show that Speer is not one dimensional. If you look at his Statistics, he only has one decision. His 1st TUF fight he got hit square, was put in a RNC and fought out of it. He did what he could to survive that fight. his 2nd fight he got caught again an a armbar, and fought out of it. So he had to pick his spots to attack when he was on top so he wouldn't get caught again. I say knockout for his next fight... just a hunch. One more thing, he is only 22, he will be a force in the UFC, obviously he has a lot to learn so I don't think right away. But between a year in 3 in the UFC, I would put money that he will be a top contender

Let's face it, they want good TV, and good TV is a Serra guy vs. a Hughes guy, so it will be Mac vs George. From listening to Dana gush about Tommy last night, I reckon they don't want him to a) spoil the plan by beating George, or b) get beat and not be as much of a draw down the road. Pulling out with an injury keeps everything cool for a UFC XX showdown later on down the road...

or maybe it was just a wicked arm-bar....

I think Arroyo will upset Mac, and go on to beat George in the finale. I hope Tommy is the one who needs to be replaced. If he is, Billy is the obvious replacement, and I believe he'd be the obvious guy to get knocked out.
I really don't think they are going to fix the show just to have a Team Serra vs Team Hughes match. I hope neither of these fights will last two rounds so the judges don't screw stuff up.

I see George vs Mac/Matt in the finals

I think Tommy won't be able to fight next week
