    Just a heads-up for anyone who has set their DVR to record this tonight, it's on BT sports 2 not 1 so you'll have to setup your UPC box to record it again. Not sure about Sky.

    Ais fights next week folks!!
    Fight announcement and shows her coming through the doors to the fight so all the previus concerns about showing Ais looking like shes collapsed do not stop the fight :D


    As on this weeks episode...WOOOHOOOO 1 of them is out of the competition!

    Don't think its very fair the other girl coming back in team Pettis, surely that means they now have a full team plus 1 injured girl for the fighters to train/spar with whereas team Melendez are short 1 member now....but they cant really complain much having lost every fight so far

    The ref was way too eager to stand them up in that fight. He wasn't letting them advance positions at all, just kept shouting work even when they were throwing punches. Not that the outcome would be any different mind you, Felice dominated the fight.

    Yeah I've complained about spoilers before when it involves cross-thread posting. But I came in here knowing posters would be talking about the latest episode. My choice and I was given fair warning.

    I wonder can/should we read anything into fighters positioning in the picture in comparison to how the UFC want to market the finale

    Is magana the one always being bitchy to heather? If so, hope Ais smashes her even more. I wonder if her 'special guest' turns up next week. Can't wait for next weeks episode!

    A lot of the time they weren't trying to advance. Some of it was really just holding the position.

    The more the show goes on, the more I feel sorry for Heather. Fine, it looked like she was being a bit mother-y and a bit of a drip in the first couple of weeks but does that mean she should be treated the way she has been? Absolutely not. Yer wan Magana seems like a bit of a bully and I hope Ais puts her in her place.

    However, I honestly don't think that will happen. I have a feeling Ais won't go very far in the comp and my reasoning is that she has been on screen for about a total of 37 seconds throughout the entire run. If you weren't looking out for her, you'd never know she was even on the show. I have a feeling that she'll lose this fight and then be completely forgotten about for the rest of the run while they focus on the drama in the house and whoever the eventual finalists are.

    Surely if Ais was a finalist, they'd have given her some exposure by now. I remember Forrest flying under the radar in season 1 but not anything like this.

    It looks that way alright. The only thing that would lead me to believe differently though is some of the comments she made on a recent interview with Ariel Helwani. She said something along the lines that the coaches and other fighters were surprised at what she could do when her time to fight came around and that everyone more or less took note of her ability then. Also, she did say that she would be fighting in December at the finale of the series which would suggest that she at least wins her first fight.

    Stuffins, by your logic Joanne Calderwood should've lost her first fight because she's as anonymous as Ais is in every episode.

    Both ladies are absent because they couldn't give two ****s about the house drama, I think. Felice, Heather and Magana are American TV gold with their carry-on. Why would you film anything else with that Jersey Shore-esque ****e unfolding in-front of ya?

    Also re: December fighting, I think every fighter on the series bar the one who blew her ACL have a fight on the card, regardless of who wins the season etc.

    It's not about losing your first fight really. It's about doing well in the how. There's nothing to say that Joanne will get through her next fight or make it to the finale.

    It's reality TV and they focus on all of the trash true, but they also need to build up the eventual winner.

    I hope you're right and she does well, but it makes sense to me that if she did infact get to the final they'd actually show her on screen now and again.

    I think one of the girls announced that they are all fighting on that card

    They'll all be on the finale apart from one recovering from knee surgery.

    Why would she be expected to be on or even near weight ten weeks in advance of a fight :confused:

    If the MLB World Series runs late tonight TUF will be scrapped for it's 3am showing. It'll be 100% broadcast @ 10pm Thursday on BT Sports 2, though.

    I was a little worried after the first round but she really came back strong.

    hell of a performance from Ais. Her submission defence in the first was top notch, and for someone who was struggling with the vegas heat she was well able to bring it for three rounds. Was on the edge of my seat throughout. Great fight.
