Flying Forearm smash FTW win. I'd say Bisping flinched when he saw that one!

I was seriously hoping Mayhem would turn and say something to him about that, but no dice

What a fantastic 1st episode, really can't wait for the next one!

Mods, can we share spoilers? If not..

Was beaming to see Micah Miller get beat. Both him and Dana had some humble pie. Also beaming for the guy who fathered a child for 2 years and then found out it wasn't his. And ya, pity about McVeigh, that was an awful up elbow he caught. So is he Northern Irish or Scottish??

Some aggressive cornerman as well, gas when he called his own fighter a pinata.

Absolutely fantastic first episode. Should be an excellent season.

El Guapo! · 22-09-2011 10:37PM

Finally the UPC guide changed and its being shown at 11. Can't wait. Haven't heard a bad review yet. It's channel 126 on UPC for anyone who wants to know.

Not even the haterist of haters could give it a bad review. Some super fights!

Sorry guys I don't want anything spoiled for me. Is the first episode airing here on fx tonight? I don't have that channel but see it's on at 11 tonight although it doesn't say which series. Do espn not have it?
Can someone pm me what the story is with it airing?

calex71 · 23-09-2011 12:35AM

Didn't want to spoil it as I only got to watch 2 minutes of it before I had to go out, but Mayhem walks around a hell of a lot heavier then when he fights, looking at his face alone :eek:

El Guapo! · 23-09-2011 12:48AM

Some great fights! Hopefully the fights on the show live up to tonights fights.
Do we still have to use spoilers??

Delighted Micah Miller got beaten, he would've done my head in on the show!
Would've loved to see what would've happened if both brothers got in and had to fight, but the one that got in looks decent.

Lookin forward to next week now.

That_Guy · 23-09-2011 11:10AM

If you're stupid enough to come into this thread and haven't seen the show then you deserve to have it spoiled for ya.

Thank fúck the fights to get into the house were brought back in. Last season was ok but really was missing something.

Some of the fights were incredibly good. Hopefully this level can continue throughout the series.

Was delighted that Miller lost. Extremely cúntish of Dana to cross off his competitor before a punch was thrown.

The promo at the end looked great for what's in store. Can't wait for next week now.

Zero-Cool · 23-09-2011 01:18PM

Ya the season looks like a good laugh although Bisping needs some lessons how to pull the door off the hinges properly!

calex71 · 23-09-2011 02:39PM

Wow finally finshed watching it there, I wish every ufc could be as good as that was, it was like 2 UFC numbered events with all the filler cut out and just the fights. Some crackers there. I would have paid money to have watched that live !!!!!!!

Marcus the black guy looked good, but he was actually listening to his corner aswell. Did they say he looked like a little Bobby Lashley ?

I believe it was 'Bobby Lashley on crack'

Did anyone else notice the illegal knee he hit at 1:30 in the first?

when there standing beside each other they look a weight class apart in some of the shots.

Yeah I noticed it. I rewound time and time again but I couldn't quite see whether it hit the head or not. The ref was Maxagatti so you'd never know

Also, if any Mods are reading, can we have the thread title changed with Spoilers added so we can make this the proper discussion thread?

I watched it again in slow motion using VLC and it definitely looks like it connected with the head. Its a shame cause Bryson was dominating up to that point but once he was hit with that knee he was never the same.

Edit:

Zero-Cool · 23-09-2011 05:39PM

Ya I saw that

knee to the head

alright, thought it was strange that no one commented on it so thought I was just seeing things.

Can't wait to see em picking teams next week, they have a great choice in front of em anyway!

And yes, we need SPOILERS added to the thread title please.

MrStuffins · 23-09-2011 05:44PM

I'm just rewatching now.

Seriously, this is the only season where you could actually have 2 houses and 2 seasons, a season for the winners and a completely different simultatious season for the losers in a different house!

Zero-Cool · 23-09-2011 06:19PM

I agree man, I know every season you think 'oh that guy lost but he was good enough to deserve a shot in the house' but this season, nearly every loser deserves a shot.....except Micah Miller.....DOOOOOSH!

Yeah, f*ck Micah Miller!

I was delighted because the kid he was against looked beat before the fight started!

El Guapo! · 23-09-2011 09:49PM

Yeah I noticed that

illegal knee

too but since nobody pointed it out I thought maybe

it connected with his shoulder instead

Fukn spoilers are a pain in the arse!

Leeg17 · 24-09-2011 07:19PM

Made you look, na-na-na-na-naaahhhhh!

This is the first season I've watched in time on TV, ended up watching the others on the laptop cos we didn't have any tv subscriptions the past 2 years. Going to suck waiting a week between episodes, used to watch a season in a week

Mellor · 26-09-2011 06:36AM

I think its pretty safe to say that spoilers aren't needed when discussing anything that has aired on Irish television. I'd still use spoiler tags for discussing anything online from the US broadcast

Zero-Cool · 27-09-2011 07:17PM

Anyone interested, the full Paul McVeigh fight is up on the official ultimate fighter website. Can't watch it over here tho but theres ways around it.

V9 · 29-09-2011 02:37PM

Watched EP2 just now. very good episode. Miller's "captain America" and "wolverine" thing made me laugh. Technically good fight I thought too. Looking forward to next week.

MrStuffins · 29-09-2011 07:51PM

Yeah just watched it myself. Very good episode. This season has been better already than the last couple of seasons.

Good fight and i'm actually looking forward to next week, long time since I was looking forward to TUF.

Zero-Cool · 29-09-2011 11:02PM

I found myself shouting at the telly for these 2 nobody's (to me) more than I would at a regular UFC event, thought it was great.

Marcus did some amount of damage with those backward shots. Thought Mayhem was a bit mad with matchup but it worked out for him. I liked the bit where the inevitable door came off the hinges and a guy from team Mayhem comes out and says 'whats the ruckus', had to laugh at that.

Def looking forward to the next episode.

El Guapo! · 30-09-2011 12:01AM

Really good episode.
I thought Marcus was gonna smash Caraways face in but he didn't stick to the gameplan and wasn't listening to his corner.
I like Caraway, he seems like a decent bloke but his stand-up was basically non-existant. He did well to control the fight though.
Was it just me or was he constantly putting his fingers in Marcus' eyes the whole fight??

I'm looking forward to next weeks episode and seeing what comes of that argument.
Also can't wait for all the pranks this season, I'd say there'll be a few crackers!

MrStuffins · 30-09-2011 12:19AM

I loved Mayhem's comment of "He's being coached in grappling by Bisping right now" hahaha!

Oh_Noes · 30-09-2011 12:48AM

I really hope the producers don't persist with the tactic of editing the 10 minutes of the show leading up to the fight to cast an overdog/favorite and then have the underdog win. It makes everything so predictable yet they keep doing it with every season.

Ohhh so this guy has no confidence and the other guy knocks everyone out? Shock horror, no confidence guy wins. Come on, Spike Producers you must have more tricks in the bag than that. I'd like to watch the actual fight to find out who wins.

I found that to be a poor episode overall. Neither of the fighters looked particularly impressive and the back and forth between coaches during the fight was unpleasant and unsporting.

Leeg17 · 30-09-2011 12:53AM

Loved the song the Bisping lads made
