7 pounds over is inexcusable for the 2nd best middleweight in the world... no doubt about it. After depression and rehab and what not you have to wonder how much Filho's head is still in the game at this point.

Or come in 7 pounds over. Featherweight (145 lbs.): Urijah Faber (144.5) vs. *Mike Brown (145.5) Middleweight (185 lbs.): *Paulo Filho (192) vs. Chael Sonnen (184.5) Featherweight (145 lbs.): Jens Pulver (146) vs Leonard Garcia (145.5) Middleweight (185 lbs.): Nissen Osterneck (184.5) vs. Jake Rosholt (185.5) Lightweight (155 lbs.): Rob McCullough (155.5) vs. Donald Cerrone (156) Middleweight (185 lbs.): David Avellan (185) vs. Aaron Simpson (184.5) Featherweight (145 lbs.): Jose Aldo (146) vs. Jonathan Brookins (146) Light Heavyweight (205 lbs.): Carmelo Marrero (206) vs. Steve Steinbeiss (202) Lightweight (155 lbs.): Rafael Dias (155) vs. Danny Castillo (156) Bantamweight (135 lbs.): Yoshiro Maeda (135) vs. **Rani Yahya (137)

I'm loving Seth Green being back next week and telling E to have Sloane call him and ask him what's up. I can sense another midget brawl a-comin'.

For a second I was thinking that this card has Tamura/Fabiano and was mildly disappointed when I saw that it didn't but then I looked at the card again and my disappointment went away. Couple Tamura/Fabiano w/ Tapia/Torres and that's two homerun cards in a row. The two month delay, if nothing else, gave Filho time to pick out the perfect cutoff flannel.

Not a big fan of the Giraffes skit. Sloths! was way better the first time they did it. I got a few laughs out of Night School Musical. "Are you still going to want to talk to me when you're certified to operate a forklift?"

I must be missing something... I don't know.

Stankie talking about "getting down and smelling farts" was probably the most embarrassing thing on TUF ever. In fact, his entire coaching staff placement is downright laughable.

I was enjoying all the Cornell stuff... All the "Life is a Highway" stuff was begging for a "that's what she said".

King Mo was on Inside MMA last week = Mo Lawal.

Small request: no more posts on Ultimate Finales in this thread. They aren't going to get a show thread so the only place I can logically move them is into the season thread. I already did that for this season and the posts that have been in this thread so far, but I think it's perfectly acceptable to discuss the TUF finale in the season thread.

*insert kung-fu mod action above*

Not enough "bitch", "pussy" or "punk".

Ok, Tyler Hansbrough has suffered an injury which they are calling a "stress" to his leg which sounds like the beginning of a stress fracture and he's going to need to sit out for a bit. Trying not to panic here. It's not that I don't doubt that we can cruise through our season this year without him but I have aspirations of an NCAA title, undefeated season and two thrashings of a rejuvenated top-10 ranked Duke. Damn it.

Trading Jacobs was addition by subtraction. You might notice the 32 HR but he was a black hole of suck day in and day out. Good riddance.

Well at this point I think David Wright is a better player than Cabrera but at the time I thought the argument was silly. Miguel hasn't progressed as many had imagined he would. He's still a damn fine player, but yeah... I figured he'd be MVP level at this point. Funny reading this thread back again now that Hamilton has made the bigs and isn't a wasted prospect "crackhead" anymore.

Fuck that noise. I love WEC but my PPV buying budget is already pretty stretched as it is... I even skip some UFCs nowadays. I can't see this working out for Dana and co.

Yeah, the first time the guinea bees showed up I just about died. I love Randy Marsh, man. When they showed him getting in everyone's face with the camera, that was classic. Finally a great episode this season. "Oh no, it's a guinea bear!" "That's a guinea mouse, stupid!"

I was so out of touch with the Phillies this year that when Buck was going over Lidge's stats in the 9th I was completely awestruck. The last time I checked in on Brad Lidge he was still Pujols' bitch and shaky as a closer and now he's '98 Mariano Rivera? Yeah... I had no idea.

Marlins need a catcher. Maybin is going to play CF this upcoming year, ready or not, so catcher is the only position that needs to be filled. Otherwise, they are still in the position they should be... ready to contend this year and next. Tarheels need only one thing: to avoid injuries.

Oh man, is no one watching this right now? House and Cuddy finally make out before he just meekly (and awesomely) says goodnight and walks out and no one is in here talking about it? Nuts. House is out of control this year. In a good way. Or maybe great way.

Every time they run in Florida you know you're going to see the worst ref in the business... Troy Waugh (sp?). Dude is terrible and so annoying.

Go Turtle.

I thought it was really cool how Drama tried to cover for Turtle like that.

Just think for a second though... dude makes a killing on sponsorships alone. If Bas really wanted to show he is a serious martial artist he could nudge him to this avenue and then if he wins Dana will have no choice but to play ball with him. Yes, it's like less than 1% and I personally have no desire to see Kimbo in the UFC but I'd love to see him on TUF.

Dana went ahead and offered Kimbo a spot on The Ultimate Fighter. Obviously not very likely, but imagine Bas talks him in to accepting? Highest rated season yet.
