[quote]TUF series too but strangely it's not on the ESPN programme guides at all this week, it can't of finished as they still have fights remaining?

Could be wrong, but think it wasn't on due to thanksgiving. Loving TUF smashes as well, the fights seem more exciting but might be just cos it's brits so i want them to win more!!

[davey68]

Agree with you about the brits Don, apart from a couple of them they seem to act like idiots. Not very respectful and the saga with the mobile phone ringing home etc was amazingly stupid. I'm sure Dana wanted to send them all packing but that would of pretty much ended the smashes series. Can't understand some people with such a great opportunity behaving so stupidly. Maybe I'm just getting old and boring lol I think the TUF Carwin series is back on next monday, could of been due to thanksgiving. Interested to see how ricci v hill turns out (battle of the canadians).

[davey68]

I havent posted about it but just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the GSP v condit fight. I really rate carlos but you have to give huge respect for GSP coming off a bad injury and giving it everything. Physically he looked almost a weight class above Condit. I liked how Carlos kept going and that head kick in the 3rd could of changed everything. Enjoyed the whole card and looking forward to more fights.

Bamma has moved to channel 5 but is still a dreadful presentation.

[Don1]

So the larger taller heavier fighter only just won. :sarcastic clap:

Fairly poor commentary, but it was better than normal, and at least that bald cockney fool wasn't polluting my ears.

OMG yes! what were they thinking, If there is one sport that cutting to the audience while its taking place is a bad idea its MMA.

Back to The Smashes, it's good to see Freakshow doing well, and has been picked up by Lonsdale to plug their new mma range.

Also the TUF currently in (16) is pretty poor, and apparently in the US it has poor viewing figures.

Looked like a very good, controlled display - presumably influenced by significant Thai Boxing - admittedly against a significantly disadvantaged opponent. Then a good defence-to-offense ground move.

[Chris77]

good solid body kick in round 2, you could see the aussie took it on his arm and it hurt him, then the reverse keylock was on the same arm, Also some good leg kicks by freakshow

I'd say this was the best TUF show Ive watched, great bunch of guys on both side.

[davey68]

Same here really enjoyed the smashes. Been a bit disappointed with TUF16, that might be partly down to Nelson who I really can't take to. Seem's to be a bit of an idiot tbh and not very professional. Looking forward to TUF17 though, sonnen v jones!!! Think it starts in january.

Another bill on ESPN early doors tonight/tomorrow morning.

Benson Henderson vs Nate Diaz should be good.

Got to be a points win by Henderson though, hasn't it?

Diaz will win...

I like Diaz but I think Henderson's submission defence will be too good for him.

Ah, but will he be wearing ear muffs? Or a spit guard?
