Loved the song the Bisping lads made

Anyone else think that song was a tad racist? Just kept reminding me of Dave Chappelle as Rick James calling Charlie Murphy DARKNESS haha

That_Guy

Watched this last night and found myself screaming at Marcus to "step fúcking back you clown. You're shít off your back."

He wasn't even listening to his coaches either which was really frustrating.

"Let him stand up"
*Marcus keeps kicking his leg*

"Back away Marcus"
*Marcus keeps going forward and ends up being taken down*

You disobedient bastard.

When Mayhem ahouted "He's having Bisping coach him on grappling right now" I did have my tea shoot straight out my nose. This is definitely gonna be the best season since 5

A tad racist yea, but why take it so seriously? It was meant to be a joke from people on his team, and he clearly knew about it when he was quiet and then shouted at the end of it.

Zero-Cool

Wasn't taking it seriously at all :pac:

Some of Caraways shoots were very slow, I was shouting knee the dope all fight but when Marcus landed one Caraway rolled with and deserves credit for that.

Ian Whelan

In both his preliminary fight and his first round fight Marcus demonstrated that he has no ground game at all. I was not surprised he lost to Caraway.

Good pick from Miller, put Marcus in the octagon with a guy who can completely control him.
First pick is so so important.

Marcus could of won the second round of he listened to the coaches, or if he fought clever.

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.

At least this is the last time on Spike. Next season they'll be live so they won't be able to edit it like that.

I was the same, they played up Caraway's nerves and Marcus' cockiness so much I was pretty sure who'd win.

I honestly have no idea why any coach ever plucks to go for first fighter rather than first fight! The shows in the past have shown how important it is to have first fight, especially since the first overall pick has only ever won once if my memory serves me right!

El Guapo!

Delighted that Bedford beat Ferguson. Pity he couldn't finish him. I hope his hand heals so he can be 100% next time, he seemed to be constantly wary of his injured hand and couldn't throw it much.
Mayhem is a good coach and seems to genuinely care about the guys on his team, whereas Bisping seems to just want to win and doesn't care as much.
I can't wait till Mayhem and Bisping really start to get under each others skin. I need to see some more broken doors!
And it'll be interesting to see what happens when they figure out who the mole is.

I've watched all of the previous TUF's seasons and I've just seen ep. 1 & 2 of this one.

The prelim fights were the best fights I've seen in a long time and Mayhem Miller seems like a great character.

I'm looking forward to seeing him beat the crap out of Bisping.

Zero-Cool

Another quality episode. Was waiting for Miller to shout 'Sweep the leg Johnny!' all fight. What did Mayhem say when Bedford had fergy in an armbar "Break it, break it, make him sing......country song" ??

I wonder how the rat will be handled?

Re: the rat, I can almost see a direct player swap, Dodson from Miller's team swapped with the fighter who wants out from Bisping's team. It's happened before no reson to see why it can't happen again..

Remember Andy Wang?
Not gonna work well.

Ian Whelan

It's Miller's pick for the featherweight fight tonight. If you were in his shoes who would you pick to fight?

I think that he might avoid picking a fight with either Diego Brando or Akira Corassani as I get the feeling that the general view is that both Corassani and Brando are going to be hard to beat in this competition. On that basis I think that it might be Bermudez v Bass tonight.

Akira Corassani looks like one of those guys that is all talk. I'll probably regret that comment but whatever.

The Bored One

I'm having trouble figuring out if Akira will prove more annoying if he wins or loses when he eventually fights. I already find him pretty irritating as it stands.

DrPhilG

The altercation between Akira and the other fella after Akira's bed got trashed was embarrassing. I'd knock you out, no I'd knock you out... Like 2 weans.

Brazilian guy was better. "His mother will cry before my mother will cry"

Michael Bisping is such a whiney bitch in this show.

Miller, who is nuts, comes across much better.

I'm really loving the fights but I'm really hating Bisping.

I didn't see it the last time he coached against Dan Henderson but now I can see why Henderson hated him so much.

PerrinV2

Bisping completely gave away that he had inside information at the weigh ins.

Yeah, it showed something about him. That he cared more about his own little personal sh*te of getting one over on Miller and his team than he cared about his fighter having the advantage of inside information going into the fight.

I agree about how he's not coming across particularly well and how Miller is!

El Guapo!

Yeah, Bisping seems to only be there to get paid and to fight Miller. Whereas Miller seems to genuinely care about his fighters and wants them to do well.

Miller was really impressive with how he handled the car tyre prank also.

DrPhilG

Far be it from me to defend Bisping (coz I can't stand him) but bear in mind that the UFC is well renowned for twisting the things that are shown in order to portray someone in a bad or good light depending on how they want to market it.

I don't doubt that Bisping is (or may well allegedly) be an arse, but there's no doubt that the UFC will make him look even worse so that they can raise his profile as a "heel" to raise interest in the fight, not to mention the probable title contendership that will be discussed when he beats Miller.

Those words and Bisping in the same sentence always make me break me hole laughing

I'd laugh too, if I thought the UFC felt the same.

But I have no doubt that they would love the chance to get Bisping a title shot, just to give a boost to their UK profile.

When Bisping beats Miller, my bet is that the UFC give him Maia as a "top contender" and then a title shot.

I really don't think that's a given, and IF he does i think your right.

I also think that IF Bisping was ever to get a shot we could see a UK event at The Millenium Stadium in Cardiff, they've had a Calzhage fight there before with a 35,000 crowd

Overlooking "The Filipino Wrecking Machine"?
Munoz is next in line imo. if he beats Leben that is, then Chael then winner of Bisping/Mayhem.

I reckon Chael talks himself into the shot though and then Munoz Vs Bisping/Miller for the next one.
