To be fair it's smart as it will most likely encourage more viewers. To the average person "The Ultimate Fighter" could be anything. Just a smart business move if anything imo. Still funny though :P

Artem back in as well as the guy who lost to Hall surprisingly enough

stephenl15

Hall does it again. Unbelievable.

Touché :P College back next week so I won't be staying up until this hour for TUF anymore

valor

Man Hall is awesome. really like his attitude too.

stiffler123

Hall is going to be a hard guy to beat. You don't see many heel hooks in the UFC, pleasure to watch his ground game.

Subcomandante Marcos

Spoilers lads!

Lol jk, sure we all know his game.

Tinie

That 50-50 position Hall does reminds me of in the old fighting or wrestling computer games, where you'd have a cheap move to use if your opponent started getting ahead, but it's sort of unfair to use as it's nearly always a win with it.

Exclamation Marc

Hall seems like a good guy too, hard to dislike him.

That heel hook is nasty, guys actively training against his position and still getting caught. Hope he goes far.

Paully D

Hall is special, though Slioa did himself no favours as he had an opportunity to get back to his feet when Hall initially transitioned. It was probably just a matter of time before Hall got it anyway I suppose. He'll be hard to stop.

Some great banter between McGregor and Faber again. I really like the dynamic between them so far.

clever user name

Hall has a mental advantage before anyone even steps in the cage with him. Every one he faces is scared stiff of getting their legs wrapped that he's forcing them to change the way the fight, in a sense. Especially when he's facing a predominately stand up fighter, they're constantly going to be worried about getting too close to him. Actually, someone like McGregor is best equipped to fight Hall...fast hands, utilizes his reach well and has that long stance with one leg much further forward to than the other. Either way, he's going to be tough to beat!

DeVore

I knew it was going to be Hall because the fight didn't start in the episode until 5 minutes from the end

He might have won with his trademark style but hey, so does Rousey and she's the champ! It up to the others to defeat him and negate his skills, that's what the whole sport is about.
As well as that, I think he DOES have a bunch of other things in his toolbox that we haven't seen yet. The guy is a world champion BJJ fighter, he's already won his way to the top of a combat sport so in that respect he has been here before compared to the others.



Oh and Artem's old opponent didn't seem particularly happy to see him back eh?!

Paully D

Whatever about Artem getting in, but Nunez getting back in is actually a bit of a joke really. There were far more worthy fighters based on the opening fights IMO. Team Alpha Male being obsessed with wrestlers, who would have guessed?

Bringing an NCAA Division 1 wrestler back was a purely tacticalll choice by Faber. That sort of grappling game will be something the European camp will have no way of Handling. Himself and Hall will be the biggest worry for the European camp.

Lukker-

I thought that ginger guy Welch I think was far more deserving then Nunez, he was well on top in his fight but got crumpled by a monster shot to the liver.

I was hoping Hall would win, he seems like a really sound guy.

So true, and it's not beyond the realm of possibility that one day there might be an All Ireland TUF with Conor and Joe... crazy sh1t!

His game was hugely developed around the 50/50 though

Mr. Manager

Bringing Artem back was a load of bollix. There was so many better fighters to choose from.

I agree his entrance fight should have gone to a 3rd but it wasn't an exciting fight, he wasn't technical, there was no finesse - just plodding forward and trading shots.

I taught it was fair enough, he's quite clearly what dana wants especially with the whole 9 fights and one will miss out if it's not an exciting victory, both picks were biased though. There was no way the American was deserving of getting back in based on what we seen it was because of his background. Who would you have had ahead of Artem anyway?
