Hey has anyone watched the DVDs of TUF 1? I did and on the last DVD I don't remember seeing any of the prelim fights. The only fights I watched were the two finals and Franklin/Shamrock. Anyone know if the prelims are on there and I just overlooked them?

That one dude kept throwing me off. Kendall? The tall dude. His reach is crazy and he's so much taller than all of the other middle weights. You expect him to be able to run through them just looking at the size difference. What about Herman? Think he'll lose to Kalib? You seem to know about Kalib or have seen him fight before Lei. What is he good at and how good is he?

I'm pretty excited about tonights episode. So are we actually going to see a fight or are they just going to set them up? And how good is Kalib really? The only fight I've seen of him is where he beat the crap out of some guy that had no business in there with him. So is he really that good?

Any recent fights? Suspicion of recent fights?

What fights have been fixed in UFC?

So if they're Yakuza owned or heavily involved with the Yakuza.....does that mean fights were fixed?

Punk kids need to be taught some respect. Think they can just talk on their phone in class and do whatever they want. A good paddling is what they need!

I got a friend who specifically trained for MMA when he was about 18(he only did it for about a year and then gave up on it b/c of time reasons and the fact that he wasn't getting any better) and he's a huge UFC fan. So he should understand the sport somewhat. However he walks around talking about how Tank is the coolest fighter ever and his absolute favorite. I always try to explain to him that Tank suck and most guys with even a bit of training in the UFC can kick the shit out of him but he still just goes on about how great Tank is and "how fucking cool he is to watch dood~!" I don't understand where he gets the so cool to watch thing at either. Ever Tank fight I've seen(and i haven't really seen his earlier ones) is Tank getting taken down and submitted(Sims and Kimo come to mind) or beaten up (Cabbage comes to mind).

So predictions? I remember the original post about Tito's injured leg and it seemed that it wasn't that bad of a break and it will be completely healed by the time the fight rolls around....right? But how much training time will he get? Can Ken pose a threat to Tito at all if Ken's been training like a madman and Tito had to take it easy because of the leg?

How many UFC fights has he had since being back from WWE? An ass-kicking from Tito........an ass-kicking from Rich Franklin........and he beats another loser in Kimo. Then we find out how horrible he is on TUF. And everyone already know about his ego. Yeah I don't understand how anyone can support him at this point.

Ah. I thought it was just about the cancelled TV deal. Not the scandal.

What Yakuza scandal? Sorry I don't keep up with PRIDE but this sounds interesting.

So can Tito with one leg still lay an ass-kicking on Ken? All signs point to yes. But seriously I never liked Tito and always thought Ken was a decent guy. But this season of the Ultimate Fighter has made me do a complete 180. Now I don't mind Tito and find his brash arrogance entertaining(although i still think forrest won) and I can't stand Ken. So I'll be looking for Tito to lay another beatdown on Ken. How the hell did Ken Shamrock get so popular anyway when he sucks so bad? I mean I watched old UFC's and I know he won some there but those guys were inferior competition weren't they?

You know a friend pointed out.....what happens to BJ Penn now? He was the champion. He was stripped and then he lost to GSP. So what does he do now? Claw his way back up? Is he up for it?

It re-directed me to a gay torrent site......while I was at work......cold dude. But good burn.

Well what about UFC 28-42? As it is I had to buy 43 and 44 in a set.

It seemed like it'd be hard to get the mechanics down on a sport like this. I wonder is it possible to get every UFC on tape or DVD? I know like UFC 21-28 are hard to find or whatever. But I wonder if they'll ever be re-issued? I mean I can't even find Vendetta on DVD or anything around that era at my local Best Buy. The earliest I found was UFC 43. I wish i knew of a good UFC torrent site.

Did anyone ever play the UFC video game? Just wondering if it was any good? I bought an older UFC DVD the other day and found an advertisement for it.

Incorrect. The real Pistons DID show up. It's just that the real Pistons this year were arrogant and thought they could underachieve their way through the playoffs against "lesser" teams. The real Pistons are also poor offensively and that definitely showed tonight. I do feel a little bad for Flip, myself. I know he's not the greatest coach or anything, but he's gonna get a ton of shit that he doesn't deserve this go-around. The fact is, the guys on the court let him down. Flip's not the one missing open lay-ups, air-balling FT's, or shooting 30% from the floor. Somewhere along the way, the players need to take some responsibility for the failure. At least now, I'll be happy with whoever wins the Finals. I don't really want Payton or Cuban getting titles, but on the positive side, either Wade, Nash, or Dirk will get one. My desire for those 3 having success outweighs me wanting to see the others fail. I think he was talking about the Pistons that murdered people over the regular season and were in the finals the last 2 years. Not the ones that had trouble with a team with really only one player(the cavs) and a bunch of old men(the heat). Oh and cabbage he's right about speaking for yourself. I LOVED the Pistons/Lakers series and last year was entertaining as hell.

Wilbon said it best after the heat went up 3-1. This entire playoffs we've been waiting for the real Pistons to show up and it's time to admit they aren't going to show up. Well looking back he was right. They never showed up.

Damn. I hate the fact that the Pistons are losing. I hope LA V.2 loses to Phoenix or Dallas though. I'd puke if Payton or Zo' got a ring.

It seemed like Ken was actually giving good advice last night but he still wouldn't listen to him.

Well I know one thing after last night's game. Everyone talks about Dwayne Wade and how he can just take a game over and refuse to lose. Dirk just proved he can do it and how. It'll be interesting if he does match up against Dwayne Wade and see who can will their team to victory. That possibility actually got me excited about a possible Miami/Dallas series. All it took was a 50 point gutsy performance by Dirk! I do wish he wouldn't run down the court with his tongue hanging out though.

Weren't you one of the ones saying Kobe was the best player this year when they were playing Phoenix?

The Mavericks fan I work with is sweating bullets. He was going on about how the Mavs NEED to win tonight or else they're finished. I think I can agree with that assessment.
