Top 10 B.S. Moments in TUF History
So, I'm bored, here it is.
10. DeWees/Ray Not Stopped
- While I don't think the fight should have been, some may argue that this was a bad call to let this fight continues. Ray opened DeWees up big time as blood gushed from Edwins forehead and it never stopped after that. I think because it wasn't a big cut that's why it wasn't stopped. Regardless, blood was everyone including in the eyes of Ray and DeWees. Again, I don't think it's really BS, but I need some fillers.
9. Barrera/Saunders, No Third Round
- Not that it should matter because this fight was utterly bad, but perhaps it should have went to a third round. With a fight that close it only seems reasonable with that BS 2 round system they have on TUF before the semis. THey could make a good case that Barrera won the first and Saunders won the second, but when we think about it, who really cares? Saunders got a controversial victory over a guy with a 0-0 professional record.
8. Clementi/Carter, No Third Round
- Very good and close fight, I don't have a problem with Carter getting the decision but I thought it should have gone to a third round, Clementi winning the first round and Carter the second.
7. Leben Gets to Stay in the House
- Rules should apply to everyone. Just because this fighter is this fighter and that fighter is that fighter doesn't make it right. It's evident that fighters are not allowed to leave the house. If they do they are out. Chris Leben jumped over the fence to have a phone call. Jeremy Jackson jumps over the fence and he's banished from the show. Make much sense to you? Me neither.
6. Fletcher/Haynes, No Third Round
- I've seen this fight multiple times and I still don't see how Haynes won. I realize it was a split decision but again, if a fight is this close there has to be a third round on TUF. I thought Haynes won the first and Fletcher clearly won the second. Bad call on this one.
5. Matt Arroyo ducks Danzig
- Arroyo/Danzig was slated to be a semi-final on TUF6 but Arroyo backs out of the fight because of a rib injury. It's just very interesting that Arroyo didn't seem that upset about the missed opportunity. Dude was clear to fight from the doctor and fighters have fought with much, much worse. Arroyo just seems like the fighter that'll talk a lot of shit and does enough brown nosing (we saw this with Matt Serra) but won't step up big time to a more calibure fighter. Unfortunately for Matt Arroyo, Danzig didn't have to hand Arroyo his own ass, instead it was Matt Brown, a big step down from Danzig.
4. Southworth/Bonnar, Bonnar Wins?
- To this day it just seems odd Bonnar got that decision. The way I saw it was Bobby winning both rounds, controling the fight, landing more/better strikes, did more work. To me it seemed that Bobby won the fight clearly but the judges didn't see it that way, apparently. Again, split decision, still NEEDED a third round if anything.
3. Grove/Herman, Grove Wins, by Uni Decision?
- What an awful decision. To let it be known I can't stand either of these fighters so I could care less about their success, but I just have no idea how Grove won the fight. Herman clearly won the first round, clearly. While some can argue Grove won the second I still gave it to Herman. The third round was basically the decision, Herman dominated the entire round until Grove had that choke sunk in near the end of the fight. Regardless, it was a horrible call, and not even a split decision? Not one of those judges thought Herman won the fight? BS call.
2. Emerson loses to Hill?/Worst DQ in UFC History
- I understand from a marketing stand point, Rob Emerson is the last fighter you want to be the poster boy for your organization. Many are convinced the first death in MMA will come from a rotten leg kick from the Rotten one himself. That being said, that's not a reason to take 2, count'em, 2 victories from Emerson. You might as well should insert wasabi powder in your balls if you thought Hill won that fight. An obvious ploy to hide Emersons potential from the world. Instead of finishing Hill early, Emerson decided to toy with him the whole fight, even flashed some of those brilliant submissions he has up his sleeve, Hill was saved by the bell. On account of that I don't understand how someone can knock a guy out and the result be a draw. You just have to wonder what the UFC is trying to prove here. Like no matter how god like you are, they're still the boss, it's shitty. The UFC can't keep holding Emerson/Maynard II back for much longer, the time will eventually come.
1. Jesse Taylor is Kicked out of the Finals
- Without a doubt the biggest pile of bullshit to ever happen on TUF, ever. The more I think about it the more it just seems so flawed. Boy, where to start? Let's start with Dana telling Jesse he's "not ready to be a UFC fighter", this of course is judging by his drunken antics. Breaking a window and harassing women, you know, barbaric shit. This is the same show that had Chris Leben talking about not caring if he crippled a guy, pissing on someones bed, and making threats to kill fighters on the show, drunk/upset or not. Ed Herman is shown on television pissing in a guys head gear. Chuck Liddell (UFC favorite) is shown in the audience clearly on some kind of drug. Quenton Jackson puts lives at risk by losing his state of mind by driving a goddamn monster truck off road and through red lights.
Perhaps it was the "Do you know who I am?" that striked White and the rest of the publics attention. Get a grip on yourselves people. Jesse Taylor is not the first fighter to get drunk and obnoxious towards women. He's not the first fighter to pull the "do you know who I am?" angle, and he's certainly not the first fighter that acted drunkenly stupid. He wasn't arrested and no charges were made. Let's not forget that throughout the entire season of TUF we heard Dana on CB's nuts the entire time. It was the first time they EVER mic'd Dana White up during a fight to say how good CB was. It was an open opportunity to bring CB back in the mix due to Jesses drunk behavior, god forbid you get completely shitfaced it's a bad example of what the UFC is out. How about Anderson Silva wearing a shirt "I **** on the First Date", Matt Hughes holding a beer up with his face next to a hot piece of ass, Chuck Liddell posing doggy style with a bunch of strippers, Chris Leben posting youtube videos of himself getting wasted and vomiting everywhere. I'm not saying these are bad things, because they're not, so don't even give me that "bad example" bullshit because the guy got drunk and acted obnoxious towards girls. Not to mention I'm sure it was humiliating to Jesse when they brought him in and kicked him out of the finals when he didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Like Forrest said, "I'm no choir boy and I'm not judging him at all because of this".
It was meant to be this big shocking ending like it was written by M. Night from a rating stand point and a great ploy to get CB back in the competition and another chance because of how much they hyped this guy. While Jesse Taylor isn't anything to write home about as a fighter, the guy didn't deserve what he got and just fell victim to "the man" so to speak.

There have been alot of shitty decisions on TUF with them not going to the third round, also I as well highly dilike leben.
I agree with your #1 although i do not rly think it is #1,
they werent even in the show anymore, Dana cant get mad at a guy for doing shit on his own time, and even if he gets mad he cant take away his opportunities. I bet you the owners of the casino bitch dana around and dana is scared of them so he likes to compensate and fell like a big man by doing it to his fighters. Dana is totally a wannabee gangster, he likes to think he is a mob boss or somthing

First season they couldn't really afford to boot fighters lol.
But since they started to enforce those rules more strictly, they have been pretty consistent.
Also Jeremy Jackson is rapist, so he gets harsher punishment by default

Its amazing to me someone that has probably never fought for shit a day in his life comes here and shits on fighters. Did you know Bonnar also jumped the fence, should he have been booted too? I mean shit had they booted his ass UFC might not exist witouth Bonnar/Griffin I, food for thought Alex.
As for Jesse get off his nuts, he lost to CB in a major way.

ya jeremy jackson is a Greasy F*ck, he didnt just go jump the fence, he went and met up with a 300lb ugly ass lifeguard and probably has sex with her.
You wonder why the guy is homeless and always has bad relationships like he said on the show.
The guy is just all around messed up. Id say he is the stupedest cast memeber, did anyone else see the list of felonies, there was like 1000 things

The constant presence of a fully stocked bar but no TV, internet, phone calls, or leaving the house except to train, weigh in or fight.
I know I said this before, but this is the bullshit of all bullshit.
