TUF 25: Redemption Spoilers within

Just watched ep2 last night. Is TJ lying about the whole history right to Faber's face? Its all a bit weird.

Anyway, those shenanigans dragged on a bit so I fast forwarded to the fight. Glad the goofy guy won, not enough hairy shouldered fighters on the roster. Gordon has always been very one dimensional. TJ playing his tactics right, Cody on the other hand doesn't come across as very bright at all.

Absolute borefest of a fight last night. Clearly that finish bonus that Ramsey negotiated didn't mean sh1t to Jesse Taylor. TUF brings out the absolute worst side of so many MMA fighters, they're too desperate to win that they're terrified of taking risks to impress the UFC.

Mehdi is absolutely awful though to be fair, looked to have given up after being taken down in the second round. Next week's fight looks much better on paper at least.

Also, Cody has gone so far down in my estimation since the start of the season. He comes across as a bit of an idiot at the best of times. Just look at the fighters he picked, there could be a whitewash on the cards at this rate, TJ has already taken out Cody's top 3 picks with his second, sixth and seventh selections.

Taylor has no chin left at all by the looks, he got marginally clipped and he was staggered. I expect to see him get starched against someone better. He is too happy to go to his go to wrestling and thats really all he has now so even if he does mechanic through TUF its going to be tough sledding for him in the ufc. But getting there will be so sweet id say.

Whatever way this season ends is inconsequential. The Cody who beat Dom Cruz will murder TJ Sneakashaw.

Cody vs Cruz is the single most impressive display of any UFC title Challenger of all time.

Up until then Curz was being talked about as one of the all time GOAT's.

In his title win Cody made the man who everyone said had the best movement ever look like a bum.

He could have also finished him several times if he wasn't trying to embarrass Cruz.

You could argue Tj Dillashaw's own title challenge against Barao was one of the most impressive displays of a title challenger also. Barao had won 32 fights in a row and was talked up as the pound for pound best fighter in the UFC at the time. TJ absolutely schooled him for 5 rounds before finishing him. His fight vs Cody on paper is the fight of the year imo and will be very close.

I have nothing to back this up its just my opinion but I think that TJ will beat Cody handily enough. I think TJ beat Cruz in the first fight and I doubt if Cody can repeat his previous performance against Cruz (Cruz wasn't his normal self also). I am a fan of TJ and I really dont like Cody so maybe I am biased. Cant wait for the fight either way, War TJ.

If there is one thing I know so far its that TJ is a way better coach than Cody.

Too much pressure on TJ imo. Think he will crumble and no love will get the finish

Watched episode 3 last night - is it strange the Cody never corners his fighters? Or is it just that he's confident that his coaches are better placed than him for cornering? Don't get me wrong, if his frustrated shouting from the sidelines are anything to go by he'd likely do more harm than good in the corner but it seems like a strange choice.

TJ seems the opposite - calm, level headed and good for relevant advice between rounds.

KJ · 11-05-2017 4:36pm

"Hanging with the boooooooooooooooyyyyyyyysssssssss"
I absolutely loathe Cody.

Carroller · 11-05-2017 5:38pm

I couldn't stand TJ before watching this. Now in rooting for him. Cody comes across as braindead and doesn't know what to say to his fighters. TJ seems like a great coach

smilerf · 13-05-2017 4:59pm

Ah lads the poems were gas, loving this season... JT hasn't a brain in his head but is so watchable

Ah felt bad for him with that. He said he wasn't a big drinker and the boooooyyyyyssss got him wrecked knowing well. I'd say he was puking all night.

Krause looked shyte in the fight, didn't look like a UFC fighter at all.

cletus · 25-05-2017 7:17am

Are people even watching this any more? Poor enough season, poor fight this episode. Didn't think it was an early stoppage though.

Not gonna even get into the Alpha male antics, it's fully stupid at this stage.

Looking forward to Joe Daddy next week

dulux99 · 25-05-2017 7:48pm

Haven't watched much of this season but watched that last episode, pretty funny to see Cody giving it the Billy big bollox when it turns out he's actually been the one to pull out of the fight

theteal · 26-05-2017 12:08am

Not sure I can trust TJ but he's coming across a LOT better than Cody in all of this. The TAM v Duane yarn is really old at this stage so I just skip forward when it's about to kick off.

That fight wasn't great. Not sure how Lane didn't finish at least one of those guillotines - managed to kill his own arms in the process. The mouth guard bit was weird but his was just about to get choked out so he can't complain.

Magown3 · 26-05-2017 12:47am

Cody looks like an unhinged roid-raging monster with zero self control.

He always has actually... And TJ is right, it's embarrassing for him. I liked Cody before this but would love to see him get his ass handed to him.

Having a go at the ref. Shouting that the other fighter is tapping. Dick-move!

i didnt get the shouting that nijem was tapping, at one stage lane even backed off a bit as if he tought it was a tap but it wasn`t, real head scratching stuff.

the team alpha male stuff is stoopid, they are like a bunch of kids.

Zero-Cool · 27-05-2017 8:04pm

See there is a special episode tonight but can't find out what's so special about it. Is Joe Daddy on tonight or Wednesday?

Paully D · 08-06-2017 10:18pm

I think we're at the stage now where Cody is right up there alongside Rampage as all time worst TUF coach.

Man, he is absolutely pathetic.

John_D80 · 08-06-2017 10:57pm

Tom Gallichio is doing really well.

I thought he was finished for sure in the first quarter final when he got tagged but he did really well to turn it around.

Great win for him. Shame to see Joe go out like that in the other fight.

Yep. He doesn't really get the respect he perhaps deserves but he is legit on the ground. I think he has 15 or 16 wins via submission.

Tom is such a nice guy too. Really happy he has at least racked up a couple of wins this series and banked some much needed cash.

Hopefully he will get a slot on the Finale regardless of what happens and fulfill his dream of fighting on a UFC card.

I like him a lot but I have to admit that I honestly thought he was just there to make up the numbers. I thought he would be too small to worry the likes of Gilbert and Jesse Taylor but what we have seen from him so far is very impressive.

I have a feeling he has done enough for a spot on the finale card but having seen what I've seen in his two fights he could well be in the final.

i like him he's a genuinely refreshing change of pace with his positivity.

And his job is candy! How can you not like him? :-)

Zero-Cool · 09-06-2017 10:36pm

Tom is class, very hittable but that guillotine escape to back take to rnc was beautiful.

I feel for Joe Daddy but at least it was quick, great scene between both teams in the dresser room afterwards.

Cody is some gowl, awful what he did right after the KO.

Like many here, I started this season routing for Cody and now I'm beaming TJ won that spin ball game, don't mind the actual fight. We're his team doing a snake chant when they were putting their hands up and hissing?

Special mention for ken shamrock also who for me comes out as the worst tuf coach ever

Have we forgotten anyone? Think we have the top three there
