I'm curious to see what happens with this TUF. Apparently the only reason it was set up was for Dana to see if Kimbo has what it takes to be in the UFC. Rampage is always hilarious so it should be good

MKZ09

I bet Rampage will take psycho. He was so annoyed when he was coaching with forrest so He will definitely crack up with Rashad as the other coach. Fight between them will be a war, and i hope the winner of this match will fight anderson silva.

Tones69

I think Anderson would murder the 2 of them at the present climate to be honest, still though i cant wait for this fight, cant call a winner but i think rashad could take it!

Cant wait for this gonna be great to see Kimbo do well/badly.

i've just come back from new york where there's a huge TUF10 poster in times square saying "guess who's in the house this year" with kimbo looking semi-tough.
its the kimbo show this year and there's alot of pressure on him.win or lose it's gonna be fasinating to see how he does

I wouldn't be surprised, a fight nearly broke out between them at 100 and Royce Gracie had to stop it

I believe ESPN will be showing it over here.

I think no matter if Kimbo wins TUF10 or not he'll be fighting in the UFC. He was a huge PPV draw for EliteXC and money talks. He has a big bullseye on his back and would be a huge win for any person in that house that could beat him.Every other contestant will have huge motivation when fighting against him so i think it'll be tough for Kimbo to win it

Kimbo's never fought on PPV. He is the biggest tv draw in MMA in the US so far though

I guess that this should be spoilered (no results, just a couple of general things that happen).

Rampage and Kimbo get into some sort of big confrontation on the show, maybe not surprising with what Bas Rutten said about Kimbo. And Roy Nelson is the star of the show in terms of personality, probably fighting as well. Both from Dave Meltzer

<Doh! you're right, sorry for the miss information.Either way it should be a great season, i'm more looking forward to the Rashad v Rampage fight at the end of it, we might see Rampage going back to his wrestling based style for that one.

First episode is on Spike Sept 16th, im guessing the week after it will air on ESPN. Thats the normal plan of action. I cant wait Most of the 16 guys will probably get at least one fight in the UFC, look at Dave Kaplan/Tom lawlor/Junie browning/Roli delgado etc etc all from season 8 and didnt make it to the finals yet still have had 2 fights each in the UFC

Just watched the 1st episode of TUF 10... not bad, the coaches are stirring up their own fight in December nicely!

Overall it looks like it could be an entertaining series but it'll not have the best fights, a lot of the fighters look heavier than their "fighting weights" and their cardio seems quite low... a couple in particular may look big but have no engines.

They keep harping on about Kimbo but I'm certain once he gets in with a good wrestler he's gonna have big problems.

What does anyone else think?

Tones69

I was shocked at abes performance to be honest, how he has a 6 and 1 pro record is beyond me, made NO attempt to stuff the takedowns and you could see them coming, no wonder rampage got thick and left (even though he may not be the best coach in the world)
I think kimbo could do ok with some ground and wrestling coaching

Can you keep discussion of the episode to the spoiler thread.

Bugger missed it. Was this on ESPN? If so what day and time? Are there repeats? Where HAVE all the cowboys gone?!:)

Their fight in December has been canceled due to Rampage being cast as BA in the new The A Team movie
