I watch The Ultimate Fighter, but almost never watch any of the PPV fights. I feel like I should though because I kind of enjoy it.

What happened to that cocky blonde haired kid on TUF? I forget his name so this might not be enough info, but he seemed to think he was the shit, and ended up getting beat. I think his brother fought on the show the following season.

I felt like he had a shot at being “a star” because he had the look and attitude, but apparently he could not fight.

Question from someone show does not know much about MMA.

I remember fights in the “old days” where it would be like a 150 pound japanese karate guy against a 300 pound dude show just could punch. What happened to those fights? Did they go away because of MMA getting sanctioned in the US?

Killingbird……they tried to turn it more into a sport like boxing and make it legit instead of a circus show. However I do enjoy watching those old fights 🙂 Plus I would assume the risk of someone getting seriously injured would be greater if they allowed the no weight classes continue on. I think currently only 3 reported deaths from MMA.

plessis204….. I think they made a huge mistake bringing Brock back in cold to fight Carwin with a year lay off and no warm up fights. His cardio is not as good as Carwin and his skill level just isnt that great. Watch the Herring fight, he simply didnt know what to do. Carwin has more fights and against better opponents with no lay offs. Should be interesting.

but LESNAAHHHHHH is a freak and all-around amazing athlete and manhandled Mir without knowing what he was doing. I don’t think he’d take the fight if he wasn’t ready. Either way, I love the guy– UFC needs someone to be a heel, and that whole “I’m going to fuck my wife and then have a Coors light” speech was so awesome, I almost came on myself. Simply having Lesnar around has brought so many WWE viewers in to UFC circles it’s ridiculous.
