I'd like your thoughts on this season of TUF. I felt all the fighters this season were pretty lame and there was no interesting personalities there was no Leben, or Grove this season. just a bunch of guys who weren't very good fighters.

but don't you think Amir is gonna be in for a rude awakening when he faces a decent fighter? CB was all wrestle/ground and pound. with zero jitz defense.
I just feel the caliber of fighter is way down this season. I actually like TUF when there are decent fighters with some personality.

lol the beginning of that vid reminds me of the karate kid.
Machida is a great fighter, but I find his fights a little boring, prolly because he is so good that he rarely gets hit or engages in brawls. heheh.
the end of that vid also reminds me, why the hell has Tito gone away from the ground and pound? thats his bread and butter but he has avoided it his last few fights (all losses, coincidence? I think not)

I don't think forrest will be holding the belt for long. He surprised me with Rampage but I think rampage underestimated him. in a rematch he would not make the same mistake. with Anderson Silva entering the 205 class, they all have new worries in my opinion.

Rumor has it that if Chuck can get past Rashad Evans then he's going to get a huge money-making title shot.

I don't like it. Football is better

As TMZ first reported, the just-defeated UFC champ was busted this afternoon for alleged felony hit and run. Now we have the details -- and they're insane! Rampage was on the 55 Freeway in the O.C., hit two cars and got off the freeway. The chase was on.

Rampage then began driving on the center divider. But it gets worse. According to the police report, Jackson then drove on the sidewalk, "causing pedestrians to flee for their lives." He started driving the wrong way on a crowded street, colliding with yet another car in an intersection. As he continued on, running several red lights, his tire disintegrated and he began driving on the rim.

Rampage eventually got to the exclusive Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach, where he again drove on the sidewalk, "causing pedestrians to flee in terror."

Eventually, his car came to a stop and he was taken into custody at gunpoint. Cops took him to the Orange County Jail, but they determined he was "medically unfit" to be booked. Cops won't say if he was high.

Rampage is currently in an O.C. hospital.

anyone watch fight night or affliction? I tivoed fight night and will grab affliction off torrents tomorrow morning. tomorrow i will get a huge dose of mma lol.

yeah but that was against a good submission guy, former champ frank Mir. and he was beating him up pretty good before he got caught.
I haven't watched yet, will grab it off torrents tomorrow unless I see it streaming online tonight

Heath Herring vs Brock Lesner
Ken Florian vs Roger Huerta
GSP vs Jon Fitch

Those were my picks before I saw the event.

Let me know when you have seen it.

I couldn't bear it so I checked the results. nice predictions ryan.
I was sure Herring was gonna smack Brock around...... to bad. I really like Herring I don't know why.


well in advance I am calling Chris Leban over Mike Bisping by T/KO. Bisping is over due for a reality check and Leban is just the guy to give it to him. an Iron jaw and dangerous under pressure.
overall UFC 89 looks like a great card, better then the last few IMO.

TMZ has learned former UFC middleweight champion Evan Tanner is missing in the California desert. And we're told a body has been found in the area where rescue workers were searching.

Law enforcement tells us the 37-year-old went out into the desert near San Diego last Friday. That same day, Tanner sent a text message to a friend that he was out of water and needed help. There was a massive search that ended abruptly yesterday.

As for the body that was discovered, cops have not yet identified the remains.

Tanner blogged last month he was going to the desert because of his friends talking about "treasure hunting and lost gold, and my own insatiable appetite for adventure and exploration." Tanner continued, "I plan on going so deep into the desert, that any failure of my equipment could cost me my life."

Tanner was featured on Spike TV's, "The Ultimate Fighter." He lost his last bout in June at the Ultimate Fighter 7 finale.

UPDATE: The body has been identified -- Evan Tanner is dead at 37. According to UFC.com, the cause of death is still undetermined.
