It's not that the fights aren't good, the last two have been. It's the fact that so far these fighters really suck, six fighters in and I don't see one legit prospect.

3rd fight in the words of Ryan McGillivray. Looks like he sustained some injuries, wonder if he'll be out of it for the rest of the show.

When Junior is sitting on the mats talking to us and I make my comment “I am Canadian, we’re always nice”. You can see that I am icing my knees, though they don’t cover what had happened. I have had some knee issues in the past that were all healthy going into the house. Unfortunately, on the first couple days, I tweaked my right knee just a little bit and was taping it. The downside to that was that I favored it onto my left knee which is my bad one. Because of that, I ended up tearing my meniscus again in my left knee a few days before my fight with Len. That really hurt my training and was something that was a challenge to overcome.

Now to the fight. I was feeling pretty good going in, calm, confident and focused. I got caught early in the first with a left hook and got dropped hard. The punch ended up giving me a concussion and I was in autopilot for a good minute. I came back to my senses as soon as you see me get my guard back. I was happy to stay on the ground as I am confident in my ground game though Len decided he would rather stand. Shortly after we stood back up, I landed a few more good shots followed by a left hook of my own which dropped Len. I made the mistake of jumping in his guard as I got a little anxious to finish the fight. We were on the ground for a little bit until Len secured an arm bar. I lost my balance which put me on my back and locked the arm bar in very tight. My elbow got temporarily dislocated which took all of the pain away and enabled me to get out of it. As soon as I put my hand back down, it popped back in. I tried securing a crucifix but he escaped very quickly. I was able to lock in my favorite submission in a gator roll near the end of the round. It was on very tight and I heard him gurgling but ran out of time. This round was very close with a knock down each and a submission attempt each. I felt I had the better of the stand up and escaped his submission where he was saved by the bell. With that in mind, it was very close but I thought I edged out the first round.

The second round had less obvious factors for points. We had a lot of good exchanges and were mostly standing up. He was the aggressor but could not find his range missing with the majority of his shots. Even though I threw less, I landed more effective strikes in this round. I was also able to secure a take down which is big points. In my opinion, with the take down and the flurry at the end of the round, I thought I had both rounds. Keeping in mind judging can be unpredictable I was ready for a third. When they said it was over I thought I had it in the bag. Two of the judges agreed with me and I won a majority decision after the second round.

If he tore his knee I doubt he stays

Sounds like he had a diagnosed concussion too. He'll be getting replaced by the man he beat.

More injury, Shamar Baileys cut took 14 stitches to close.

Q: How bad was Shamar Bailey’s Cut?
Shamar likes to go hard when he grapples and he caught an elbow while wrestling and it was 14 stitches but he was hiding it in the house with his hat. The stitches were dark and where it was positioned he was able to hide it from team Lesnar pretty good.

I can't help imagine these guys face UFC fighters, as said before, so far not one of em seem legit, the fights are somewhat decent but we'll see. This season started rather Slow and without beef between the coaches either.

And the "chicken shit" stuff was ridiculous from the fighters, man if a former champion consider you as "chicken shit", you say "thank you" and work hard to prove otherwise with your skill, running your mouth just proves him right. That stuff with Chris and the "TV Paranoia" was also total BS and Brock was so right when he told "focus on your fight, don't get caught in the BS"

they all suck the first time i have never seen a single prospect on tuf, ryan has the best shot and myles jury was probably the best before the injury

Trix · 04-15-2011, 02:20 AM

Charlie Rader, Ramsey Nijem, Justin Edwards.

I think those 3 guys could be prospects & maybe some of the others, too.

Yeah the lay off from a concussion is what 2-3 months? Yeah he's done....at least he put on a pretty good fight so Dana might give him another chance
