    good final episode,
    Diego handed out a some beating. should be a good finale, bisping showing his class again at the end, i hate the way he always sticks his head in against his opponenets

    FFS no spoiler tag no. 2 weeks wainting to see this episode and you ruin it nice one:eek::mad::mad::mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,186 ✭✭✭BQQ


    Seriously uncool, Pauldoo :mad:

    Sorry guys, didnt realise i needed them, havent noticed them before in this thread, maybe i should open my eyes!

    But in fairness why would you come into a discussion forum about a show, the day after the final episode! and i open with "Great final episode". If you dont want the results of fights, forums should be avoided

    Maybe because most of the recent posts have been about where and when to see the show or the finale, since TUF has a history of confusion over the timing of the last episode & finale show on this side of the Atlantic?

    Yeah it's fairly simple lads. Don't go onto the thread unless you've seen it.
    I'm going to spoiler my talk about it now anyway because it doesn't say it in the title.
    Good episode. Caraway lost the fight before he got in but I think he's one tough guy to survive that long while he was out on his feet, that was a great effort tbh, the 145 pound division better be ready when Diego arrives because he's going to make a splash. Dodson-Bedford was Ok. Bedford played into Dodson's hands by keeping it standing up, think he shot like twice properly. Great KO by Dodson though. My picks for the bonuses are FOTS: Pague Vs Gaudinot. KO: Diego's flying forearm. Sub: Bermudez V Akira guillotine.

    The last 10 posts before padoo`s were about the timing of the show, its grand but a spoiler tag would have saved my blood pressure.;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,061 ✭✭✭leggo


    Was sure Bedford would take Dodson at the start, was surprised when Miller said the first round was even, Bedford didn't dominate but easily got a 10-9 for aggression. However, Dodson flipped it in an instant in the 2nd and credit to him for doing so. As Dana said, he was so quick the ref couldn't even stop it on time. I also had a feeling Caraway was going to put up a better fight and maybe even nullify Diego for a round, but Jesus did Diego deliver in the end. The guy is a beast. Can we just fast forward him to a title fight as soon as he wins on Saturday? Legend/nutcase.

    Great season though. Can't wait for the finals.

    I'm not even a Bisping hater, but I would love it if Mayhem pulled off an upset on Saturday. "Can we subtitle that??" :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 810 ✭✭✭Fear Uladh


    Great fights altogether,
    Diego is a machine, It shows what sheer determination and hard work does. Dodsons take down defence is very good and his technical ability on his feet is brilliant.

    I have to say, I think Bisping will beat Miller as much as it pains me to say.

    That was excellent last night and the quality of the fighters in the finale are excellent. This will be one of the first TUF finales where I'm looking forward to the contestant fights as much as the regular fights.

    I also will take great pleasure in seeing
    Dodson
    get his head knocked off if it happens. He's such an annoying
    little
    cúnt.

    Can't wait for this on Saturday :D

    Just to add I think it's stupid that we're having to use spoiler tags the day after the thing was on. There should be a different thread for people on whatever specific tv contract doesn't show it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,304 ✭✭✭✭mdwexford


    Betting is
    1/3 Diego - 2/1 Dennis
    4/9 TJ - 13/8 Dodson

    Think they're both priced right and id fancy both favs although Dodson does have knockout power if he can keep on his feet.

    God I hope Bisping gets killed, ive never seen as classless a scumbag in my life.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 155 ✭✭00benski


    Looks like Chael is getting a shot of bisbing or miller next, what you's think of that. I think he will smash either one myself, but its going to be a promoters dream with either one.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,503 ✭✭✭adamski8


    is this season worth watching? heard from one source the fights were some of the worst ever


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 397 ✭✭fightireland


    Shocking refeering anybody? Really unnecessary stuff in the latest episode IMO...

    Well don't believe that source. Some cracking fights this season.

    I have to admit I thought Bedford was gonna beat Dodson but he pulled it off with a really impressive finish.
    Diego is a beast and I'd say he'll win the finale. Caraway had nothing for him in that fight. I think he was beaten before he even got in the cage.

    First fight Dodson was too quick, ref did his best to get to him I thought.

    Second one could have been stopped a bit earlier I thought, he was out on his feet for what seemed like a long time and was kind of trying to fight back but he didnt know where he was.

    My bet of the finale is
    Diego to win and bisping by TKO double at 3/1

    One of the best seasons IMO. Some big names will come from this.

    Who ever said that, just go ahead and ignore their opinion on everything related to MMA
    Spoilers dude.

    Just following up from everyone else. There's been spoilers the past couple of hours. Final ep only aired on FX tonight so I thought it might be nice to give people a chance to watch it tomorrow without knowing the results.

    I get that people might not have seen it yet, but if they haven't, and they care about spoilers, then they shouldn't be reading this thread until they have seen it.

    If it was in a thread title, and somebody couldn't help but see it then fair enough. But what were they expecting in the thread.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 6,342 Mod ✭✭✭✭PerrinV2


    Ya I just avoid this thread until I've seen the episode,coming in here having not seen it is just asking for trouble.
    Also Gwan Miller!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 742 ✭✭✭phily2002


    interesting that there giving every cast member a fight on the card, I think it's good and for the first time in a long time I'm looking forward to every fight!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,556 ✭✭✭Deus Ex Machina


    I have to say that Mayhem and Bisping are two of my favourite characters in MMA, and they are both highly skilled and entertaining fighters to boot. Mayhem is hilarious on Joe Rogan's podcast, and on TUF.

    Bisping seems like he could be a comedian, he's got that sort of funny without trying vibe, like when he was talking about his run in with Ryan Parsons on TUF: "What are you going to do? Spit on me? No, I'm going to f*cking knock you out! F*ck off!"

    It'll be an interesting fight, I think they are very well matched.

    I thought that Corassani was not fighting. I wonder is he injured or if he has been cut because he's very much stuck up his own hole and is a complete twat.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 599 ✭✭✭Ian Whelan


    Yes, it seems that Josh Clopton is on the card instead of Corassani. Clopton was beaten by Neace in the preliminary fight to get into the house. It seems Akira is injured.

    Akira was injured. He was originally meant to fight Steven Siler.

    he's injured
