Heading to Vegas 2moro for the fight. Does anyone know when the TUF semi-finals episode will be airing in the States this week? I presume before the TUF final on friday. Thanks

It's airing as normal at 3am here in Ireland on Wednesday night/thu morning so I'd imgine it will be on at 8pm local time in Vegas ( 7 hours behind right?)

It's 10pm on the east coast so likely 7pm in Vegas

So we do know if its 7 or 8? I hope to be into my hotel about 7:30 or 8 lol

Anyone know when the repeat is on and what channel is it on(Fox)? Do hotel rooms generally have this channel?

Re: the bolded bit.

How do you know he was the only fighter to 'approach' Dana like this?

And to be honest I dont see anything ballsy about trying to get a fight with the weakest fighter left in the competition. I'm a huge supporter of Artem's but real balls would have been calling out Saul or Marcin, not Julian.

Well, directly after his fights he did this.

I think Marcin and Julian are on the same level. Saul is a level above them. Calling out Julian meant fighting one of the Americans and given that his pal Conor is, effectively, up against Faber's team then I'm sure he'd have liked to be the one to banish the Americans from the competition.

Yeah but just because he was the only one shown doing it doesn't mean he was the only one that did it (ie: calling someone out). They are in there for about 5 or 6 weeks. We only get shown a cumulative total of 11-12 hours of what went on in fairness.

Still dont think calling out Erosa had anything to do with him having balls. More like picking the easiest route to the final and certainly doubt it was out of any sense of loyalty to 'Team Europe'. He's being smart if anything. Not ballsy. Conor would probably have welcomed the fight with Erosa, but only because its the easiest fight, not because he cares either way about a 'shut-out'.

For what its worth I think Artem beat Saul (despite being on the wrong end of the decision) the last time they met and will do so again if they meet in the final.

Marcin isn't the pushover some people seem to think he is either. His record speaks for itself, and is 100% credible in its own right. An Artem/Marcin final would not surprise me one bit.

They have done well not letting the result get out I know someone who was on McGregors team and Dana brought them for dinner and he'd a lawyer there supposedly saying if anyone lets it slip this guy will be hunting you down :pac:

Foxtrol · 08-12-2015 09:44PM

If anyone is looking for tickets to the TUF Finale on Friday there are more standing tickets gone on sale!!

califano · 09-12-2015 08:03AM

It always surprised me why TUF seasons just stop suddenly and why they dont do a final episode to wrap things up other than the live fights?.
I think there would be a lot of meat on the bone to hear contestants reflections on their time in the house and their future aspirations in the cold light of day. It could even be a docu type embedded sign off episode centered on the day of and after TUF finale and the immediate aftermath. A long table final meal in a restaurant and packing up and leaving the house would be covered. All main coaching staff comments on how the season went and a few bloopers or whatever. Guy wins TUF and other fights at a big ufc event there is nothing subsequent about it. Just seems a cold the way they finish the season on TUF.

Episode 12 about to start

Amazingfun · 10-12-2015 03:49AM

Cool bits of Aldo in the gym, and Conor's face when he saw him, lol. Juicy and Artem up now...........................!

****************WOW, and it's over like a minute later, lol! Beautiful TKO!

Hazys · 10-12-2015 03:52AM

Artem...damn, perfect punch

3 KOs...amazing

Amazingfun · 10-12-2015 03:57AM

HOLY ****: Saul lied on his Visa and now RYan Hall is in! I am so glad I stayed up for this ep!!

Amazingfun · 10-12-2015 04:03AM

I can't wrap my head around this one now, if Hall was only just here in Dublin training with Artem, isn't that a great gift to him now?

Hazys · 10-12-2015 04:08AM

Wow Saul out of the fight for lying on his visa application...he must have had a criminal record but lied about it.

Massive dent to his career as he'll never be allowed into the US, the ban will most likely be permanent.

Obviously he can fight in non US UFC events but he'll only be available for less than half the cards.

I can only presume he had a criminal record that would have kept out of the US anyway so he had no choice to lie but how would the USCIS have found out unless somebody ratted him out? Certain criminal offenses are forgivable but lying isn't.

Another possibility is that he came on a tourist visa but took employment in form of the show but he could easily argue he wasn't paid so that seems unlikely although that would be obvious way the USCIS found out he was lying.

Foxtrol · 10-12-2015 04:08AM

Wow, totally changes everything! Must be gutting for Saul and to a lesser extent Marcin.

Such an interesting stylistic match up.

martyos121 · 10-12-2015 06:17AM

Sitting here in Dublin airport with 4 hours to kill, if anyone could throw up a link to last nights episode, that'd be pure sound.

Just finished watching it, wow Artem is a killer. Thought he might've been getting lucky before with the finishes but he truly is a KO artist! Hall should be an intriguing matchup, it will all come down to whether he can get him to ground or not.

ASOT · 10-12-2015 08:42AM

Artem is going to win TUF by 4 KOs... If someone was to tell you that two years ago you'd be sent to an asylum.

I wonder has anyone done that before? And if so, where are they now?

It'd be one hell of an achievement.

Couldn't be happier for the lad he's a gent. Now at least he's guaranteed a contract.

What the f*ck did I come into this thread for before watching the episode?

Couldn't take McGregor seriously in that stare down with his pants haha.

Yeah it's crazy. But I'm absolutely delighted for him. It also completely validates the decision to bring him back.

Crazy turn of events with Ryan. Just after the trip to SBG too

John_D80 · 10-12-2015 10:46AM

Would love to hear the opinions of any of the posters here who train in SBG with Artem and may have seen him and Ryan sparring and/or rolling during the week that Ryan was over here.
