    TUF 14 for me was the best.

    Yeah, loved 14 as well. Lot of bona-fide superstars came outta that season.

    And in fairness, love or hate him, if Bisping is involved it's going to be entertaining. Great season.

    There was so many finishes in that season too and we've got a world champ out of it!

    Diego Brandao will still be my favourite ever TUF contestant. The guy was an absolute animal in that show. Like a rabid dog off a lead!

    Ellis's head was definitely gone before she got in the cage, she looked an emotional mess the whole episode. Penne was impressive though, and from the pre fight training montage it looked she was submitting people left and right.

    On personality alone, I'd like Rose to win. She's class.

    Brandao looked like he was going to become a title challenger from watching him on the show, he was just knocking out people for fun including Carraway and Bermudez who are very talented. Mad to think that Bermudez isn't far off a title shot now while Brandao isn't even in the top 15.

    It was class but TUF 5 was the best imo. No title winners but loads who went very far in the UFC, plus Frankie Edgar didn't even make it past the trials for that season!

    My missus was asking was TUF any good (as she has a passing interest in the fights but loves reality TV). I gave her TUF 5 to watch because I thought it was the best in every way.

    She loved it and nowadays she won't now much about the fighters but will always know a TUF 5 fighter

    Christ yeah, he was a beast altogether. What made him even more frightening was when he started screaming in Portuguese and broken English. Definitely one of the stand-outs in the history of TUF. I have a vague recollection of him threatening to stab someone. Akira Corrisani as far as I remember.

    Just had a look at the TUF 14 Wikipedia page. Three first round TKO's and one first round sub out of four fights has to be a record in TUF. I think the reason that he was so dominant is that none of them in the house could deal with his explosiveness at their then level of experience perhaps.

    Aisling said on the MMA Hour that she wasn't allowed watch UFC Dublin when it was on. Had no idea who won or lost. That would have been tough. Not being able to fight there must have been excruciating.

    She was able to see it sometime after. The bounce she must have gotten from seeing how it went must have been a great help to her.

    I also think she said somewhere she got to see it on Tape delay and her watching the event in the house will be shown on the show.

    This weeks episode was so so, no other way to describe the fight only Angela Hill got owned Carla worked her game plan perfectly and didn't seem unsettled anywhere.

    Tuf is like watching a bad episode of hollyoaks with a fight at the end. Its been talked about already when team Pettis were putting knickers on their sign and team Melendez 'pranked' them but did anyone notice last night that when it was showing the Russian girl Kish talking about her knee injury & trying to cut weight, in the locker room the sign had been changed(gaffa taped) to Team Penis. I'm sure they'll have to feature that at some point to hype things along. If anyone has it downloaded or streams its from about 15mins in.

    Looking forward to next weeks episode so its finally outta the way & 1 of the 2 annoying bleeps will be out so *fingers crossed* won't feature as much

    Heather gets the decision, but has blown her knee aggravating this weeks injury.
    We can hope.

    As much as I dislike how both women are portrayed in the show, wishing injury on either is a complete ballbag thing to do.

    Cop on.

    eh? Are you talking to me? :confused:

    I don't wish injury on anyone, I joked about how she complained about her previous injuries :eek:

    The injury happened on last weeks episode. The joke was her OTT reaction to it.
    Nobody wished anything on anyone. Plus the events of the entire series haven't happened FFS.

    It's on a 2 week break on account of the baseball in America. Means we'll probably get a couple of double episodes in the back end of the season. The Mexican one is still going every Tuesday though. Entertaining enough.

    yeah? I've not watched any of the "foreign" shows as wasn't sure how it would come across on subtitles. I tried to watch the 1st episode of TUF Brazil(Wanderlie & Chael) but soon gave up as the subs were awful lol

    I know she probably won't fight for ages but the complete lack of any Aisling Daly is annoying.

    There was a brief clip of her landing a nice punch at the end of the last episode, was worried that she may not have had a fight at all because of the other clip in which it looks like she passes out cutting weight.

    Noticed that, haven't seen it mentioned anywhere until now.

    Any possibility that Ais is the one on the next episode who gets told they're out? It would explain why they seemingly haven't made any effort to promote her so far. Although it would rule out the bathroom incident as being weight cut related as she wouldn't be doing a weight cut on the next show anyway.

    Or maybe Heather's knee injury turns out serious after all?

    In the montage at the end of the last episode it shows her fighting.

    Is Justine Kish not suffering from quite a serious knee injury too ?, having had previous knee ligaments issues her's seems far worse that Heather's. So my guess would be she's gone.
