I actually haven't watched a full season of TUF since GSP vs Koscheck but the first 2 episodes this season have been good. Dana's been hyping a fighter he claims everybody in the house is scared of, any guesses?

Chael just seems like a better coach as well. Although there's only been one episode to demonstrate that so far, he was actually helpful cornering his fighter. Jones sounded like he gave up, not to mention making that mismatch in the first place.

This so far is what every TUF should be. None of that "lemme bang bro" bullshit. Give us great fighters and great coaches, the show will deliver. Previous seasons have given us lackluster winners because the casting crew turns away guys who are talented, but lack the douche factor. But you could already tell from the first episode that these guys are on a higher level than recent seasons.

Also, that was a really good conversation between Sonnen and Hall in the gym. Chael gave us a look into a fighter's mentality that most people will never experience personally. Team Jones chilling by the fire was pretty cool, I actually wanted to see what the other dudes had to say as well.

One of the most amazing knockouts I've ever seen. Uriah Hall is a class act and a beast of a fighter. I'm actually going to meet him next weekend.

I've been telling you guys, the level of talent on this season of TUF is miles beyond previous seasons. You can already see it after two fights.

So, how bout that wildcard fight? Can't believe it ended like that.

Interesting matchups for the quarterfinals.

Collin Hart vs. Kelvin Gastelum
Dylan Andrews vs. Luke Barnatt
Josh Samman vs. Jimmy Quinlan
Bubba McDaniel vs. Uriah Hall

I think Hall and Samman are the two best guys, which is why Dana didn't match them up together even though Hall was requesting it.

Bubba is such a toolbag. I hope Urijah KO's him as hard as he did Cella.

Damn, I feel like half the house this season are a bunch of arrogant douches. Josh acting like hes the father figure of the house, lol, get the fvck out. The way he tries to manipulate every fight he gets just shows how much of a coward he actually is. The Cella ambulance trip was legit, but Josh and Kevin Casey pretending to have problems and going to the hospital, some bitchmade shit.

Urijah Hall is definitely a good fighter, but he is way too cocky and anti-social for me to like him. In his little interviews, he comes off as a complete weirdo who uses broken logic to justify why hes being a complete asshole. Same with Bubba. Someone with the background that he has should be humble and grateful, yet he talks so much trash, and rarely ever backs it up. First he got schooled by someone with so much less experience than him, then he gets a win because the other fighter gave up. Not really anything to be proud of..

I'm watching this season solely so I can see these whiny bitches get laid out.

All I want to say is, LOL at Bubba faceplanting into the ground, and good riddance. I'm so sick of that guy always bitching and moaning and making excuses. He doesn't act like a fighter at all, and he does not understand the spirit of martial arts and discipline. I think literally in the last 3 or 4 episodes, they always show him by himself, sulking in the corner and waiting for somebody to notice him and give him attention, what a little bitch. He was angry that he got put up against a good fighter, he thought people "wanted to see him lose", so he gave up mentally and choked in the cage. He's already lost 2 fights on this show alone, and only won once because the other guy quit. They're always showcasing him as some experienced, well-rounded fighter but I've not been impressed by anything he has done.

I'm rooting for Dylan Andrews to take it all. Hall is a better fighter for sure, and maybe even Samman, but both of them are douchebags and I don't want them to have the glory. Fighters should always be humble, only the weak-minded ones let their egos take over.
