Yep, that welter weight on Mat hughes team (the geeky looking one) is a fooking hard bastard lol.
His definatly suprised eveyone there.
I reckon he stands a good chance of winning it, if not then he will get in the ufc pretty soonish I reckon.

Prefer this to ultimate fighter 1.

Ah well, never mind. Bravo will probably repeat it anyway, and Id rather watch full events. Plus, I found a source for a few Pride Bushido events, which are infinitely better.

been watching every one so far! final is tonight

i think Joe will win the welter weights by taking it to the ground as i think luke does not have the same level of skill there as he does on his feet.

heavyweight, i think rashard has fast hands but gets lazy as he gets tired so slows down, brad on the other hand never stopped in his last fight so it could be interesting and could go either way.

can't wait!

Think this is what I was watching last night. The first fight was a boy with bleached blond hair. The one I watched after that had a 7ft boy vs a 6ft odd boy. The smaller one got his ears beaten till they were swollen like golf balls.

i think rich will win his fight too, nate quarry looks ok but a little sloppy, fair play to him for going up for it though.

Joe will beat the nerdy bloke and the other is too close to call although i do think Rashard is better he may not be 100% fit having had so many fights already

All the fights were televised on 5th November in the U.S. and they've advertised the final, Matt's and Rich's defences being UFC56. Tonite will be a build up night I think.

Strange, Ive already seen the title defences, but not any of TUF2. Wont go spoiling it for anyone who hasnt already seen them though.

I think they wont be showing the title defences as part of the TUF show, given that they were part of a main UFC bill, hence my having seen them already.

Its already happened mate, quite a while ago. Already been shown on Bravo too, because they show the main UFC events live or on a days delay, but we wait months and months for TUF Their defences took place on the last UFC show, which was UFC 56:Full Force. That was the 19th of November.

Question is will they show the trainers fights on the final show? If I remember right they did last time, but that time they were specifically on the TUF card and not the main UFC one.

Joe Stephenson is an animal on the ground. Don't think he'll stand and trade for too long with the geeky fella. He has good standup. The heavyweights were a bit of a dissapointment overall. Was very surprised with Whitehead, He was absolute crap !! Especially for a fella who kept going on about what he could do. Was well happy too to see Jorge (the cocky Brazilian) get his ass whoopped!

What happened to the heavyweight final last night

Good scrap between Joe and Luke Joe didnt have it all his own way on the ground like he thought he would. Hope Luke returns, he is a good fighter

Itll be tonight. It seems like the same format as last year, the two finals and one other fight. Theyll fill the hour tomorrow with a shedload of highlights and reminiscing about last nights fight.

I thought Kit Cope was going to take Florian's head off when he didnt get a takedown straight away. Wish the UFC still had a 155lb division, hed be much better at that weight.

Well going back a year or so there was sweet-FA MMA on anywhere. There was occasionally one fight on ITV in the wee small hours. Now, youve got Pride and the IFC on Men & Motors occasionally, K1 and shooto on Eurosport, Cage Rage on Sky sports, and the UFC on Bravo.

I wont gripe too much, plus we get the full UFC events almost straight away. If someone started getting Pride Bushido events wed have more or less everything.

Last boxing I watched practically put me to sleep. Mind you, that was probably because it was Williams vs Harrison. If anyone gets a chance to watch UFC 56, skip the heavyweight fight before the main event. Its very similar.

Its usually either shown live or at the same time the day after. Usually on the sunday night. UFC 56 took place November 19th, UFC 57 will be Saturday, February 4th.

Riggs vs Diaz is apparently on the card.
