Last Nights TUF

First topic message reminder :

It's shaping up to eb a good show, next week looks good with a bit of needle in the house.

Just goes to show the importance of listening to your coach as Bisping kept telling him to keep hold of the hands, and to try get up and out not get taken in, but he ignored him went berseker and got taken down and choked out.

Think Bisping makes a good coach, he cares about his team like helping in the weight cut. And the proof is being a previosu winner as a fighter and coach he knows how to prepare his fighters.

What is it with pranks, think it must be some stupid american thing us brits dont get. they can't live with us on a wit level so they revert back to kids stuff.

it was a strange fight imo - TJ used his wrestling to his advantage but then couldn't decisively get either the G&P or submission! Although Dustin had poor takedown defence he was active from his back the whole fight. Yeah Dustin was busted up afterwards but then again I wouldn't say TJ absolutely dominated him either - TJ was cut too.

Yeah like you said TJ couldnt finish him.

Should have really, but easy to say when watching on TV.

Yeah Dustin was ok off his back, landed some good shots.

As I said that knee to TJ's face was a beaut.

Least there is a Team Bisping member in one final.

Now for Diego.

I think Dustin deserves a lot of credit; for a kick boxer he did a pretty good job on the ground - he didn't just turtle up, he remained active. TJ applied a good amount of pressure to win the UD but Dustin didn't disgrace himself by any means.

I thought it was a good fight, TJ was quick and powerful, but guess thats standard for a Wrestler, still managed to take Dustin's knee.

As someone else said, was good to see that when he had position on top he didn't just stop and tried to pack the punches up.

Looking forward to last night's TUF, but was a repeat of last weeks, TJ vs Dustin.

I know......... so angry about that! Was looking forward to the last couple of fights!

I'd hope they show the last episode next thursday and that there is no mess up.

Apparently it wasn't on due to thanksgiving & will be shown, at least in American, on the 30th. I generally catch up with it on a thursday on MMA Core. Doesn't give much time between that & the Finale though.

good news though that the finale is on FX as well though - I am sure in the past, the finale hasnt been shown (might have been in the Setanta or Sky4 days).

It being shown on the 3rd (live?)

Ye I wondering who was going to show it as none of this has been on ESPN

On FX next sat( sunday morning our time).

When was this series done?

A good final episode in what was certainly one of my favourite series.

Really wanted Dodson to lose, (not really a fan of Bedford either though).

Thought Diego would win, fair play to Carroway, battled on for longer than I thought, took some big hits.

Really want TJ & Dennis to win in the finale.
BUT I have a feeling Dodson & Diego will win.

Think TJ wont have it so easy in taking Dodson to the ground, he's pretty quick to. Would love to see him get knocked out, could go either way though. TJ has powerful hands though, gonna be interesting.

Dodson's "I'm awesome, your not" really bugs me, and that stupid smile.


Diego is an animal, great to watch, I like Dennis but Diego will come out all guns blazing, think this one will go past the first round though, with Diego getting the knock out second round.

At the end when the coaches squared off, thought Bisping looked like a bit of an idiot again.

Not to bothered who wins out of those 2 now.

Looking forward to all the fights.
Hope its a great night.
Again, really enjoyed this season.
As Dana White said, the four best fighters are in the final.

I really enjoyed the episode but both fights left me with a sour taste in my mouth.

I feel Dodson carried on punching for too long with real power punches when Johnny was clearly out.

And in the other fight, the ref let it go on for way too long - should have been stopped a good 20 seconds before it was.

agree that both went on just slighty too long, 2nd more than 1st (dodson was very quick, ref got there soon as he could). but i have much more tolerance to the violance and would rather see a fight stopped slighty late than slighty early. the guys in there are all tough fighters and know the risks, getting knocked out is one of them.

Yeah that bit of Dodsons personality bugs me but he is a good fighter & has decent power. Should be a good fight against TJ though dunno who will get it, Dodson is decent but TJ seems better schooled. Diego has serious power but feel he relies on it to much & not sure about his stamina as this was mentioned in an earlier episode, prefer him to win though, I always prefer stand up fighters over wrestlers.

I don't know what it is about Bisping, just acts in such a childish way & comes across even more of a dickhead.

Anybody know when this season is goinig to be available to buy?
