TUF Brazil 3 Sonnen V silva

dave1982

Anyone get to see this yet?

The image of the octagon in their eyes is so annoying!!

jsa112

Yeah, not particularly great so far, usual TUF

Devastator

where did you watch it?

Only found 1 download but it was in Portuguese

lertsnim

Turned it off after 15 minutes. There is a version taken from UFC Fight Pass out there with English subs but I wouldn't bother.

Mr. Manager

If you skip the usual filler crap it's not too bad. They now have a "UFC Ring Girl" competition going on at the same time. Not sure what it's all about but there was a lot of sexy ladies knocking around for a brief moment on screen.

The assistant coaches I didn't get either.. A volleyball pro and a basketball pro, both female, no clue on the sport and slightly squeamish. Saying stuff like "Is that legal", "I hope they stop this fight, I can't watch it", "If his arm breaks I think I'll be sick".

That kick was bad though, completely legal.

The kick was nasty alright. It was just unfortunate that the guy was out on the way down and couldn't get his hands to the mat.

Nappy

Much better than tuf nations

That_Guy

Watched it there yesterday. Wouldn't be going out of my way to watch it or anything. Don't get the assistant coaches though. Very strange format.

Did a short little blog post on it. Enjoyable enough

I get the feeling the subtitles are just wrong. People said things in that first episode that I just couldn't imagine any real people saying, and the show is really hard to follow as a result. Also the volleyball and basketball coach have clearly never seen a fight in their lives, what is the point of them?

I can see Chael picking Wanderlais guy if he gets first pick just to annoy him.

the mental coaches are just...mental, and actually look like mickey rourke considering how much surgery they've both had.

whoever gets first pick will pick him in any event. he looked very good.

dave1982

Amazing amount of finishes this season, Brazilians are tough!!

Had to laugh at Wand throwing his toys from pram

DrPhilG

Wanderlei made a prize tit of himself there IMO.

dave1982

Chael "I accept your resignation".It just seems to be Wandy that has the issue with Chael the contestants seem fine bout it.

I think this is because it's being translated by someone whose first language is Portuguese and they are translating it directly. If it was an English speaker they would modify it to use phrases that fit.

DrPhilG

Definitely weird subtitles.

"he kicked him in the head! In the head!"

DrPhilG

First fight was a bit of a turd IMO.

Third round, both guys were either too knackered to even try. Especially Wagnao, he constantly just tried to hold Sonnen's guy down. I would actually score it the other way. Even though Wagnao had top position he was doing nothing. Not even throwing punches, he just kept grabbing his ankle and pulling him down again.

Octagon girl competition is as pointless as the "guest coaches", but I'm not complaining.

Mr. Manager

Agree about the fight and the girls. How does one even practice at becoming an octagon girl!? They hold up a scorecard..

Not sure what fight Wanderlai was watching when he was saying "that's as good a fight as you'll see in the UFC". It was rubbish.

chrisbag1986

Wandy is a sickening man. Can not stand him at all.

First fight was utter rubbish.

Be interesting to see who gets booted from the show. I guess by a clip, a team wandy boy get cut open during practice bad, so I assume someone in his own team punches him, cause in the meeting with Dana on video, its all team wandy and only Sonnen.

dave1982

"If wandy get's close.I'll assume a fight has started"

Cheal do look nervous around Wandy.Can't blame him really in Brazil so it just more than Wandy that has a grudge.

DrPhilG

So this episode was all about trying to persuade us that the guest coaches are not utterly pointless then...

kearneybobs

They really are surplus to requirements but I do wonder if they are there to act as a kind of translator.

xtal191

Video of the fight, will prob be taken down

dave1982

I thought Wandy was out there at the end!

John_D80

Haven't seen the episode yet but I imagine the two people who were throwing punches at Chael will be in BIG BIG trouble. Disgraceful.

I was waiting for one of them to point to a Wrestlemania banner.

dave1982

Easy fight for Chael, I thought Wandy had him beat mentally before they even fight but going by that little scrap.Chael takes him down puts him away in the 1st.

What a scumbag that coach was even worse to brag bout it

Yep, i know it was only on TUF but the ease with which Chael took him down makes me think this is gonna be a 1 way beating

DrPhilG

As bad as the fight was, Wanderlei opening up by spitting on the ground in front of Sonnen was despicable.

I hope Chael grinds his face in.

DrPhilG

Also, we know that nothing major will happen to Sonnen or Silva, but I'm sure that fool from Wanderlei's staff will be booted off the show. It's bad but no surprise that Sonnen and Silva squared off, but piling in and throwing cheap shots from behind is a disgrace. I wouldn't be surprised if that's who Dana was referring to when he said "you should be arrested".

DrPhilG

PS, Wanderlei's guest coach!

Scary fella. I especially gagged at the big sweaty arse crack.

Zero-Cool

That_Guy

I'm enjoying the show a lot more in the last couple of weeks. Just getting around to watching the latest show there.

Your man coming in with two heavy shots to Sonnen was absolutely disgraceful. Nothing will happen to Wanderlei or Sonnen but that coach will be gone for sure.

As per that "thing" that Wanderlei brought in to showcase some BJJ... *shudders*

DrPhilG

Horrible fight this week. Haven't seen 2 guys gas that badly since the HW season. Silva's guy could barely stand up and Sonnen's fighter wasn't much better.

Glad to see that guy Dida kicked off the show.

Mr. Manager

That fight was reminiscent of Soa Palelei vs Nikita Krylov. Absolutely embarrassing to be that gassed after 6 minutes. The first round wasn't even that much of a taxing one.

That_Guy

Awful fight this week. Certainly one neither fighter will want to rewatch in a hurry.

Feel sorry for Sonnen's team. Win their first fight and have their fight pick relinquished straight away after one of those stupid challenges.

That_Guy

When the two lads were crying at the end of their fight, I couldn't help but laugh.

Am I evil?

The crying in these shows drives me absolutely nuts. Almost to the point where I won't watch anything but the fight.

Why can't people be more like Cathal in the other one. "I've no sob story, I'm here for myself and no one else"

*cue no tears*

califano

The Warlley burger is good.

PauloConn

So Silva's missed a drugs test, not even applied for a license and Belfort is stepping in now!!!!
The world has gone mad

kearneybobs

Is there something in the water over there that's making everyone cry? Even Chael bawled his eyes out.

phily2002

Yeah Wandy realised how easy it was for Sonnen to take him down and feared a beating without his coaches in the cage to jump in...
Obviously juicing as well...

Dana talks the Wanderlei, Chael and Vitor situation as well as UFC Dublin tv deals and much much more

Davei141

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOXR43q1NWM

A chael interview from a few weeks ago,talks about the whole Wandy situation. He even says him and Vitors paths will cross. He is easily the most interesting and articulate fighter around.

Kur4mA

Ya have to respect Chael tbh. He calls it like it is and is completely open and honest. He talks about this fighter and that fighter being legends but doesn't seem to have a clue that he's a total legend himself.
