Production in this episode seems better that before. They did really good job.

Fight was awesome. Bermudez had hard hitter in first eliminary fight to get to the house and survived pretty dominant first round. In this fight he overcome adversity again and his face looked untouched, amazing.
My hats off to him.

I really think that Akira was faking his "wtf just happen" after the fight. Does anyone felt it same way? Im just courious.

For the first time Bisping doesnt look like a total douchebag in my eyes in this episode. Wierd

Akira tapped 3 times by my book, 1 was called

So I wasn't the only one who thought he tapped when he was in the guillotine against the fence. Luckily Bermudez was able to "adjust the right hand" and Akira tapped again.

I saw that too and was like "really? Again?"

He must get his Black belt by the perfecting the "brazilian tap"

It's been shown he didn't tap in the other fight. I did notice it this time but thought he was maybe adjusting his hand or something after last time, camera angles can be deceiving.

Oh, and does anyone else think Bisping cost him that? Akira was doing the right thing, keeping distance and landing big shots leaving enough room to sprawl, as soon as Bisping could smell blood he starting encouragin AKira to finish. Akira then went in haphazardly and got caught with a single then it was game over from there. He seemed content to stay away, land those big shots, be patient and wait for him to drop. If he hadn't listened to Bisping I think he would have won with a RD1 stoppage.

Miller has to be the best cornerman out of any of the coaches that have been on this show. I have to think he will have a really successful gym when he is done competing.

Exactly what I thought. Win or lose, the guy gives excellent advice and actually talks like a coach and doesn't scream his lungs out uselessly.

I usually hate on Bisping, but this episode he wasn't the douchebag he is and those were good pranks, gotta give him that. Miller's reaction to all of the pranks is one of the reasons I like him so much. He's so laid back and down to earth, it's actually even more funny when he's the prankee not the pranker. I bet if Miller did the same thing to Bisping, he would be flipping off all over the place.

And did I say this is perhaps the best season ever?

Yea, I think Miller is doing one of, if not the best coaching jobs TUF has seen. Aside from that, the fighters are going ape shit puting on some great fights. Overall one of the best seasons to date, easily. There's just enough drama in the house to keep it not ALL training/fighting, it's been a great balance.

I seen Akira try to pull a few bush league moves to get out of that choke. First the brazilan tap, then he dropped his arm like he was unconscious right after that, when the choke didn't let up he started really fighting. Seemed like he realized he wasn't getting out unless he tapped or actually fought his way out.

I said he was going to get caught when they showed him doing the get up drills, he left his neck out every single time, even on ones when the guys he was rolling with didn't drop to a guillotine.

I saw Akira do a couple things that made me think he was out. The left arm droping was the biggest. But I think he was truly out. But my oh my does he have some power in his hands.
Bermudez has great recovery but I think he saw his mom after a couple of those shots landed.
Bravo to you Miller. He didn't start yelling like a mad man when he sunk in the choke. He stayed calm and was talking in a clear clean voice.
