    ... plus to say Dana white would not have a list of 100 guys who would have come and fought KA-HAL on a days notice is a bit much for me, kind of made me feel like it was a storyline!

    None of those 100 names would have time to go through the strict vetting process necessary before they will risk putting them on national television though. They had a short list of alternates and it was just one of those things that none of them were able to step up when the opportunity arose. They may look to make better arrangements for such an outcome for future shows now though.

    Just a heads-up for anyone who set this up to record with the 'series link' thing on their UPC box. It was on BT Sports 1 the last 2 weeks but it's scheduled to be on BT Sports 2 tonight (and at least next week too). As far as I can tell it won't record the episode for you as it is. You'll need to set up the recording again for BT Sports 2.

    Come back VHS, all is forgiven!

    Not for me. It's in the TV planner as 'not yet available' on BT Sport 1.

    Fair play to Cathal for speaking the Truth.

    Personally thought Dana was a bit harsh about that fight. Monaghan was just awful and Spohn just controlled him on the ground which was his game plan going in.

    I think Monaghan himself at the end said "I wasn't even worried about his takedowns".

    It wasn't overly exciting but Daniel did what he needed to win the fight and showed some good technique aside from a good stand up game which is what BJ said they'd been working on.

    Did find Monaghan's sermon thing quite cringey so hoped he'd lose. :pac:

    Agree about dana i normally hate some guy's laying on top doing nothing,but i seen worse than this in fact i thought cathal's fight if i'm honest,his wasn't much difference in regard's to not much action was probably more boring than this or at least he wasn't advancing much either,so it seemed very overly harsh to me.

    The fight itself was alright actually. Probably blinded by the fact that Todd was absolutely dominated and I really didn't want him to win. Was a little bit frustrating seeing Spohn on top for as long as he was without striking all that much.

    The sermon was really cringey to me. It partly comes down to the fact that when I hear someone preach I begin to pick apart what they are saying and and none of it makes much sense..to me.

    By the looks of it Dana was missing for Cathal's fight first time around since he wasn't in the octagon or gave his opinion of the fight afterwards. The style of fight was very similar and I can imagine that he would have found it frustrating just as he did this fight.

    I was fully sure spohn was gonna finish that on the feet. I thought Dana was a bit harsh saying He should have been throwing punches in the last 10 secs. I don't fight but I thought securing the choke was the best decision there.?

    Awful listening to how god gave your man a boat and a jag.

    The choke wouldn't of worked but neither would of punching as there was only a few seconds left, the punching just looks more impressive

    Had he locked it in better, the bible badger would have still managed to hold out for 10 seconds.
    Irrelevant in tbis car as he had the fight won, but if it was a clues fight striking is a much better option imo

    Still a bit harsh from Dana, he just looked pissed off throughout and when announcing Spohn's name as winner.

    Dana can't be the head of a Mixed Martial Arts company and then complain when a guy completely dominates the grappling!

    Yeah, he wasn't throwing strikes, but he was using takedowns, passing the guard, getting to mount, threatening with a head and arm choke............. it wasn't the worst fight i've ever seen and I think he over reacted!

    Agree 100%, I thought Dana was wrong. The guy went outside his comfort zone and mixed it up. If he didn't they would be harping on about how he would have been dominated by a wrestler etc.

    Yeah Spohn could have done a bit more when in control but he wanted to win and not end up being swept so he played it safe. Dana needs to cop on, I know its about entertainment but the competitors are there to win, entertainment comes second IMO. No point in going all out and getting KTFO.

    Look I don't care if someone is religious, even super religious, if it's how you live your life and stay grounded then thats fair enough. But when you start a sermon saying "Life isn't about material possessions." and then proceed to list the material possessions that you have because you have God in your life, then you are a total idiot. Really made me think he's not on the Ultimate Fighter for the right reasons, rather the TV time, a feeling which was furthered by his reaction to losing which was "Meh, it was God's will."

    Ridiculous.

    Tim Williams has a serious chin, unlucky not to win but Lima was my pick to go all the way so hopefully he does!

    He definitely looked to have the sharper striking, but size wise(and perhaps technique-wise too) he was bullied up against the cage and was wrestled down a few times and held down. But he seized his opportunity and fair play to him did very well.

    That bloody Olé Olé Olé chanting is worse than a vuvzela.

    Would love to see Chris beat VanBuren. Hope he gets the shot at him and does the job.
