Exslade ZX Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 Well..since TUF was somewhat popular, especially the finale, figured a thread should be started about this, as it's on now. Showing some of the fights from Finale night that weren't shown.
Guest Askewniverse Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 Swick fuckin' destroyed Schoenauer.
Lord of The Curry Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 That was a fucking grimy k.o by Mikey.
Corey_Lazarus Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 Forrest/Steve was MINT. I must've missed it the first time (didn't watch TUF much).
RavishingRickRudo Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 What I probably loved most about the show, next to the main event, were the advertisements for Ultimate Fight Night and Boiling Point. They are really coming into their own with the production; I wonder how much of that is inhouse and how much of that is from SPIKETV. I like how they put Jeremy Horns record up there, and made him seem like a big threat.
Angle-plex Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 Really good main event. I thought Steve was going to win the decision. Much better show than RAW.
Guest Big_Jay101 Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 His name is not Steve it is Stephan, think of the movie with Martin Short called "Clifford", and his dinosaurs name pronunced stef-in.
Guest JesusJuiced Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 Anyone know where I could download this?
Crimson Platypus Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 His name is not Steve it is Stephan, think of the movie with Martin Short called "Clifford", and his dinosaurs name pronunced stef-in. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not to argue the small stuff or anything, but many people who's name is spelled Stephen pronounce the PH as a V instead of F. That may not be the case here, but it's not a reach to shorten Stephen to Steve really.
Youth N Asia Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 Why the hell don't they advertise?! I taped Raw, and had no idea this was on. Any idea on a replay?

Crimson Platypus Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 August 1st - 11:05 pm et Unleashed - Spike TV Ivan Salaverry vs. Tony Fryklund Ivan Salaverry vs. Joe Riggs Chris Leben vs. Jason Thacker Josh Koscheck vs. Chris Sanford Nate Quarry vs. Lodune Sincaid Is that a typo or is this not a live thing? I haven't been able to catch this yet...
RavishingRickRudo Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 The Unleashed shows are taped and feature fights from previous UFC cards. This one is designed to familiarize fans with Ivan Salaverry - a top prospect in the middleweight division. Those are two good matches, btw. The other 3 fights, much like the last Unleashed, are from the Ultimate Fighter Finale undercard.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 Did'nt see any ads for it, still, not too shabby. As has already been said, nice KO from Swick. These are all pre taped fights to familiarize the fans with the fighters featured on the August 6th show and 20th PPV. Ivan Salaverry is in the main event for the 6th TV show but otherwise has not really been pushed by the UFC, so it's a good idea to show two fights where he really showcases his skills to the UFC crowd. It's just too bad that they can't do the same with Nathan Marquart, as even I haven't seen much of him and while I'm not an expert, I'd like to think That I know more than the average fan. I'm gonna have to go out of my way to d/l some.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 The secret is out, I am RRR, but I word things slightly differently for this account.
Lei Tong Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 I really wish UFC would find a way to put more submissions into their little video packages, as opposed to purely strikes & the occasional slam. Then again, the UFC seems pretty intent on turning most of their fights into Toughman-esque brawls, so I guess it's to be expected.
RavishingRickRudo Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 I found it odd that they did the "skeleton" animations for the opening of Unleashed, but they didn't do any submissions - you'd think Mir having Sylvia in an armbar and them showing the bone break would be a gimmie.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 Pulled in a 1.6, not bad considering there was virtually no advertising for the show.
starvenger Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 Pulled in a 1.6, not bad considering there was virtually no advertising for the show. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's quite good. The Civic Holiday show (or Monday as it's called in the US) looks pretty decent.
Anakin Flair Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 Hey Rudo- I got a question for you. How do they score the fights? For the life of me, I can't figure it out.
AnonymousBroccoli Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 There's an episode of Unleashed tonight (Saturday) at 10PM ET. Could be a replay from Monday.
RavishingRickRudo Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 They score it like boxing - a 10 point must system. Winner of the round gets 10, loser gets 9 or worse (8). Regular fights go 3 rounds, so in the case Georges St Pierre vs. Jason Miller where GSP won every round, the judges scored the fight 30-27, 30-27, 30-27. Usually an 8 happens through a major ass kicking (in boxing it usually when a fighter gets knocked down). Unlike boxing, judges score on not just striking, but control, aggression, defense, takedowns, submissions, and damage. UFC championship fights (Heavyweight, Lightheavyweight, Middleweight, and Welterweight) go 5 rounds. Also unlike boxing, each round goes 5 minutes, rather than 3.
