TUF 8 **Contains Spoilers**

odin_ie

Junie Browning....total psycho.

Just watched episodes 3 and 4, and to be honest, if I was in that house, I wouldn't be feeling too safe at all. The guy has an obvious drink problem, and is possibly bi polar too.

Dana gave him a second chance after the latest alcohol fuelled destruction/violence in the house. I can't wait to see what happens next week after he jumped the fence after this weeks fight and once again went nuts, having to be restrained in ring.

Anybody else have an opinion on him??

And without starting another thread, does anybody know of Irish lads trying out for TUF 9 in London in the next few weeks(the 20th of October I think)? An Irish fighter or two would be great to see, and would give MMA a much bigger profile in Ireland.

dlofnep

LOL - he was an absolute nutjob last night.

Dana White called it best. He is a drunken retard.

How come Shane had to fight when he wasnt half as bad as Junie, who seemed to get away with it all.

I was thought that aswell, They must see something in Junie, if they don't kick him out for what he did last night it's a joke. But I can't wait to see next weeks show to see what will happen, mybe that is why they are keeping him in the house.

Mossy Monk

He has to be gone next week.

cletus

apart from seeing junie the drunken retard, I cant wait to see Anderson Silva training and sparring with those guys, he was clowning them in short clip at the end of the episode

calex71

regardless of what he did, all i can say is what a waste!!!!

seems to hold true in both art or sport all the great ones are always crazy.

the combination of the cameras and the other lads to play up to, i think will help him to a swift boot up the door such is is personality. No way would feel safe around this guy especially when he had the bottle in his hand, took some serious will power for one or all of the others to not to khtfo id say.

I think Dana is only keeping him on as he sees the potential and $$$ hence not making him fight this week , but there has to be a line drawn somewhere

rizzla

People will want to see him fight. He won't get sent home next week. I remember near the start of the season Dana says to one of the fighters, "I've given you three chance's so far..", or someting like that, guessing it's Junie. So he has 2 more crazy outbursts to come.

I like the guy, you could build entertaining stories and rivalries around him.

Also, anyone else see the vid package showcasing what was to come in the season, think it was at the end of episode 2.

Dana say's "This ain't Survior, we don't vote people off, we beat them off!"

My guess is the fighters don't feel comfortale with Junie in the house which cause's him to say that, in a later episode too. All speculation though.

Really liking the season so far. Not great publicity, just giving people who consider the sport to be filled with brain dead retards more ammo when they see how some of em act.

chopperbyrne

Two complete idiots.

One got tapped out and the other will get the **** kicked out of him if he keeps acting like that.

He blamed it on the drink, but then completely sober acts like an arsehole again.

stevemc01

He is a complete knob, what is worse than having to watch that idiot for most of the show is we are missing out on seeing some training footage.

I think they should have Nog on camera as much as possible, cant wait to see A Silva on next weeks show.

Because whilst Junie is a drunken retard Shane is telling the world and it's mother he wants to fight.

So he got his wish.

Junie is a moron, i grow tired of watching the shenanigans of these pussies. It got old after Leben.

dunkamania

If the UFC are doing it just for drama, then they miss the point. That may have worked back in TUF1, but the modern mma fan tunes in for the mma and not the drunken shennanigans.

The clips with Anderson Silva looked insanely good, granted he is sparring with guys who arent good enough to shine his shoes, but still.....

As far as Junie goes, he has issues, very low self esteem, and a fear of success, and putting him under in the house environment would always bring out the worst in him.

Valmont

I absolutely can't wait to see Junie get beaten. What a complete and utter gob****e. I do hope they keep him in because it livens up what is usually a boring show, I didn't really watch the last two series, it's just the same old training footage; that's my two cents anyway.

By the way, what was a BJ Penn purple belt doing whipping his arm back in guard like that?

EdK

Yup Junie's a retard keeps saying he was destined to be nothing and does his best to blow every chance he gets, i'm surprised he didnt get his ass beat tryna pull that heavyweight into the pool, the guys showed great restraint in not knocking his ass out

I mean the prelim fights were to, as Dana said, "get rid of the pussies, the posers" etc.

It's a shame when guys like this, who are talented fighters, are just @rseholes.

I liked Leben for the most part in season one, it was Koscheck who rubbed me the wrong way and later Southworth. But Leben really tested the patience.

Leben said recently that he met up with Josh and Bobby and that they talked it all out and buried it. He said they have all matured past the people they were on the show.

Of course, Southworth has Babalu to worry about now. :pac:

That's good to hear.


it wasn;t the "fatherless b@stard" incident that put me off them though, it was their general personalities, which certainly in Kos' case hasn't improved tbh.

LOL Southworth better not call Babalu a MFer or wear his mugshot t-shirt to the cage!! :pac:

Fozzy

Babalu's injured and out of that fight by the way. Anthony Ruiz is his replacement

I'm wondering who the guy Dana was real high on before the season started is. He said there was some amazing kickboxer on the show that shocked him with his talent or something like that. I wonder if it's Junie

EDIT: Oops, I'm wrong I couldn't remember the exact details and I ended up Googling news about the Southworth vs Ruiz fight from last November

Looks like I'll have my question answered this week: http://www.f4wonline.com/content/view/7040/

--Remember the lightweight that was supposed to be the next Anderson Silva, or at least Dana White said so? Apparently the identity of this mystery man is the winner of Wednesday's match on Ultimate Fighter.

Dan133269

was just wondering how long would you say elapsed between them drinking and then having the first fight? I mean it couldn't have been that long so it would have probably impinged on their training

dunkamania

Shane Nelson said he fought alomost a week after the infamous drinking episode

Killme00

Where are you guys wtaching this? Can anyone PM me a link.

Ta

Mossy Monk

It is on Setanta Sports tonight.

EdK

That was a rubbish fight, Juni posing and getting punched in the face great plan, Delgado looked like he's never had a fight in his life just tried to survive, Juni clearly has no ground game because he let Delgado get up and it wasnt just to show off as Delgado was lying on his back for a solid minute in the third and he did absolutely nothing

Mossy Monk

Junie really is all talk. Terrible fight.

dunkamania

Both guys fought with alot of heart, but the skill and the cardio wasnt at UFC level, by quite a large margin.

Any interview that I have seen, with guys talking about Junie, they all say that there were times where he was an a**hole that were shown, but the times where he was a decent guy werent shown.

chopperbyrne

Delgado was useless.

The only good thing about him from that fight was his chin.

Junie was a fool in the first round and was completely gassed by the end of the third, but he dominated the second round.

Fozzy

Looks like Phillipe Nover is the next Anderson Silva, not Junie :pac:

dunkamania

When Nog said, "we are enemies", that sent chills down my spine. Its becoming increasingly apparent that Nog picked guys for their personality, while Mir was looking for the best fighters. The differnet vibes between the teams is incredible. Although the thing with the cake was a little weird. "Making cake for Nog was the best experience of my life...." or words to that effect. Not much to say about the fight, Jules looked terrified, Vinny looked bad until the fight went to the ground. Gogoplata would have been sweet, but it was stilll very slick. Hard to see Vinny winning though

dunkamania

I gotta say I am disgusted by what I saw in the latest episode, this is not good for the sport.

Overshadowed the fight, which was fairly good, presumablyNover is the lightweight Anderson Silva, that Dana has been harping on about

I was close to taking a Rennie after watching that last night! While it was funny in a way it doesn't look well when viewed by people who are looking for reasons to criticise the sport.

Philippe is a beast and will take some beating.

I disagree that Nog picked guys for their personalities. He said he didn;t pick Vinny because he lacked heart. I think he picked guys who had the right mix of skill, heart and attitude. Look at his team, all the unstable headcases are on Mirs team. Nogs team seem to have the more balanced personalities. Not saying all of Mirs guys are unprofessional but just look at Junie.

Was anyone else amused by the coaches challenge preview and how bad Nog looks at footy? Seriously, stepping into the cliché for a second....a Brazilian who has "never player soccer"! :pac: That's like an Irishman who's never drank beer!

Coolhand

Have missed all the start of this and have seen all the other series. Is it on TV here? Cant find it on Setanta and I persume Bravo dont have it, it being UFC and all.

Its on Thursday nights on setanta 2. I think its repeated on Sundays.

Coolhand

Cool thank you

dunkamania

Thoughts on latest episode.

Mir looked bad, not for his lack of soccer prowess, but for his comments afterwards. Krystoff didnt look very impressive. What was with the ridiculous amount of knees to the nuts. Tom Lawlor knocking out Kaplan was funny. Liked the pranks this week, funny without crossing the line.

Apparently spike cut out a scene where Kaplan and Lawlor were drinking each others piss from shot glasses, thinking that two epsiodes in a row with urine drinking was too much.

Apparently there's much worse to come. Might be next week, because one of the guys who is fighting loses it over a prank. But it wasn't in the preview, so maybe it's some other week

Kaplan's an idiot, "I was never out"

This series is doing a much better job in building the title fight than the last series

Wat time was it on last night? I assumed it was on at 11 and tuned in to nothing. Gonna watch on Sunday now instead.

dunkamania

I didnt watch it on tv

chopperbyrne

Anyone know what time or channel this is on tonight?

It's not on at its normal time or channel.

Setanta's revamped website isn't finished for the TV listings.

Yeah it's not on for some reason?
Could be because it's thanksgiving in the US so mightn't have been on this week.
Can't find it on the web either?

Off for thanksgiving this week.

Fozzy

They repeated the last four episodes last night in the US. Next week will be the final two episodes with the four semi-final fights and another incident with Junie

Well if you're quick enough then you'll have seen in the episode where they did a quick "whats going to happen in the house this season" in the first couple of eps, then obviously Junie gets the boot. They had Dana say something like thats three strikes you're going home in one of the clips.

Red Sleeping Beauty

Does this be on Setanta Ireland ?


Edit:
Appears so http://tvguide.tv3.ie/dgx/wbl.dll?a=18&h=69&sip=0&sic=1&rgn=Eire
Are these just the repeats of what's happened so far yeah ?

liger

Setanta and NTL really have me annoyed with this. My setanta2 is crap so I've been recording the repeat on SS1 on fridays. Except half the time the programme advertised as TUF is actually unleashed or ultimate talk"!!!!! Even one time it had Conference footie.

UFC website says TUF is on at midnight, new espisode 11, and episode 12 is tomorrow. but setanta and Ntl have nothing listed. I bet they dont show 11.

Mossy Monk

If they don't then the UFC site is wrong. I would find it hard to believe that they would publish correct listings when it is not showing on NTL or Setanta. It is not listed on the Sky EPG either. That shows South American football at midnight.

Red Sleeping Beauty

It was on Setanta Ireland on monday at 9.15 and then yesterday and today at 10 followed by UFC Wired which is old matches
