    The Alaska fella looks good IMO , prob won't win it but looked good along with the Native American wannabe, he looked real good

    Agreed! Looks like a fighter punches another fighter in the house? That means instant dismissal from the show...

    Nah, it's definately one of those drunken "I'm the man and can get punched in the chin by anyone in the world, go on, give it a try!" moments!

    it's happened on the show before, and it always ends in a sweet KO! :D

    Yeah , just look at all the clever editing they did in that montage at the end, Kosh going after the black guy looks good though :D

    I know the last season was being shown on setanta a few days later after the us, does anybody know if it will stay this way? I dont have sky sports :(


  • Posts: 3,598 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    That guy that got the punch in the house wanted it. Koscheck going after the trainer ,that wasn't a lightweight haha. I actually can't wait for this season to get into gear.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,106 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    Some good fights on that first episode and
    GSP getting his prediction wrong and Koscheck calling him on it was pretty funny.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,426 ✭✭✭Roar


    can't remember his name, but that dude who ran out with the flying knee at the start of round one was entertaining.. took a battering and still got the win.. Dana was on his feet at the end of that one!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,387 ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    I dont think much of the Amer-Indian guy at all, he has heart for sure but he was very lucky with that RNC.

    A few of the fights were really excellent, I'd be happy to PPV for fights of that quality. Bruce Leeroy is great, I like him and I think he will go far. Good to see someone not taking it all that seriously!

    The black guy looked VERY good as well as the guy who finished in 13 seconds but who can tell in 13 seconds :)


    That northern Alaskan guy...?? I dunno about him, seems a bit of a weirdo and when he said they dont have a coach up there.... I started to wonder about him. Unless he has more then that choke, he's going to get murdered but maybe some coaching might do him the world of good. Looks to be an interesting season.

    GSP X-ing the guy out who then went on to dominate was funny but he did call the guillotine from the alaskan bloke too!

    What did the guy say about his Guillotine? He covers both corotid's at once like an RNC or something. I can't remember how he described it. Native American guy didn't impress me either. You could see Koscheck picking his fighters already by cheering for them.

    Certainly won't do MMA's image any favours, having 3 fights outside the octagon aired around the world. Surprised Dana let that be seen at the end of the first show considering his zero tolerance policy with Paul Daley!

    My favourite bit was GSP's smug look after his guillotine prediction. :cool:

    This Bruce Leroy chap has some skills.

    I think I only remember it once. Been a few situations were some prick has got on like that & wanted to be bit(to try & get the other fighter thrown out?) like junie browning with Efrain Escudero. The one I remember was very funny, bloke went on that he was never KO'd then asked another fighter(who was a bigger weight) and he knocked him sparkers :D Always a first...might aswell be on reality tv too :D

    I don't like koscheck at all(never have from 1st TUF), but I wouldn't agree that GSP looked smug after his prediction I think he just wanted to show a more professional approach. koscheck looked like a little child running and telling tales to his mummy trying to get the fighter on his side by telling him that GSP X'd him. Fair do's GSP admitted he was wrong and laughed it off. So after he called the choke win he could have made more of it, but he's not the type of bloke who wants to make a big scene to build himself up...he's GSP, he doesn't need to I suppose.

    Great 1st episode, can't wait for rest of the season.

    Just to add the the general concenus(seems like that) I like BruceLeroy aswell, good to see someone enjoying themselves and having a bit of a laugh aswell. He doesn't seem like a wind up merchant who will trash talk any of his opponents....maybe his happy go lucky smiling ways is enough to wind up his opponents up

    i just checked his record on sherdog, he has 11 wins, 10 by submission, NINE of those by guillotine! :O

    build himself up? just because he called the guillotine before the fight means nothing, well all it means is that he heard that the guy submits people by guillotine! its not as if he weighed up to two fighters and predicted it would happen. not impressive at all.
    GSP to alaskan guy "aww man I called the guillotine before your fight"
    alaskan guy "well yeah i win all my fights by guillotine, so what?"

    but the fact that he crossed someone out shows disrespect to him imo, koscheck was fair enough telling everyone he crossed him.
    if anyone came across bad it was GSP, smug is the word.

    wow, you've taken 1 thing I said GSP didn't do and gave me your opinions on why he didn't do it.

    Wasn't it DW who was saying about GSP's prediction while GSP just sat and said nothing?

    therefore from what your saying GSP was disrespectful but koscheck was not? :confused: even though koscheck couldnt wait to show the fighter his page saying "I picked you"...surely thats disrespectful to the other bloke?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,440 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    There's a lot of talk about disrespect this and disrespect that!

    It's been pretty much proven on many many occasions that Josh koscheck is a disrespectful d1ckhead!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56 ✭✭iluvcheese92


    Biggest surprise for me was probably how well Dana and Koscheck seemd to be getting on. The native american fella was lucky to get the win in my opinion, great heart but sweet damn all else, id be surprised if he goes much further.

    i know you said he didnt do it but you were praising him for not gloating, I was explaining why gloating about it was a silly thing to do anyway because it wasnt impressive.

    Second point: the crossing out scene it cuts to the judges DW is looking at GSP's card "DW says "yeah" as i GSP is showing him his pick. And just because he sat there and said nothing means nothing!! he still crossed him out before the fight.
    and yeah he sat there and said nothing because he was wrong.
    Think there is a difference between saying a guy is gonna lose than thinking a guy is going to win.

    has it?
    i dont think he is disrespectful he just doesnt give respect to everybody he faces, nothing wrong with that

    not a surprise for me!
    koscheck seems like a great guy
    • puts on exciting fights
    • never turns down a fight
    • is funny
    • is talented
    • doesnt take **** from anyone
    any press conferences ive seen DW has always taken a shine to koscheck
