Any of you guys watching the fights tonight / which feed are you watching? They're airing live @ 11:30 AM and then again at the normal 7:00 PM time. I've ordered the early set, I'm going to tape them and then watch them when I get back from early errands I got and shit, but I want to make sure I don't ruin them for anyone if they're going to watch them on the late feed / at all.

Apparently I have to wait until later to watch it. My friends want to BBQ during the live show then go to a bar to watch the delay. Don't worry about me though. I want click on any link that has anything to do with MMA after about an hour from now.

oh god, i cant stop watching this




so what has this taught us you may ask...

kimbo>mercer>morrison>foreman>frazier>ali
kimbo>mercer>sylvia>rodriguez>kosaka>fedor

seriously is there any question anymore that kimbo is the greatest fighter this world has ever seen?

[effjay]

Best. Math. Ever.

Maybe Dana will offer Sylvia a spot on TUF 10, along with Arlovski. Not only that, but since he's making the greatest fighter of all time Kimbo try and fight his way into the league, I expect the same for that Fedor weirdo.

[Randal Graves]

I think Sylvia may be my least favorite fighter ever. I just wish I could have seen it on TV.

We'd take this with a grain of salt until the UFC makes an official announcement, but the usually-accurate U.K. paper The Sun says it has the names of all 16 castmembers for the next season of The Ultimate Fighter. (Props to TheGarv for the tip.) Unfortunately, there are no more shocking additions ? no Lashleys, no Petruzellis, no Quinns ? just the usual gang of up-and-comers trying to make a name for themselves. We already knew that Kimbo Slice, Roy Nelson, Wes Sims, Marcus Jones, Brendan Schaub, Matt Mitrione, and Wes Shivers scored bunks in the TUF house. So who else is gonna be hunting for that six figure contract? Here's the lowdown:

JIM YORK: "Nicknamed 'Big,' York shares one thing in common with Kimbo ? he too has beaten Britain's James Thompson. The 33-year-old New Zealander emerged victorious from their Sengoku 7 clash after KO'ing the Englishman in the opening round of their bout in March."

JUSTIN WREN: "At 22 years old, The Viking is the youngest contestant in the new series. He has a 6-1 MMA record and trains with UFC star Travis Lutter's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu team."

MIKE WESSEL: "The Ohio native has already fought in the UFC, losing to Antoni Hardonk via TKO at UFC 92 in the second round. However, it should be noted that Wessel only took that fight on a week's notice, and UFC president Dana White was impressed enough to offer him a four-fight deal and place on season ten of TUF for his efforts."

SCOTT JUNK: "Another fighter with previous UFC experience. The 30-year-old lost via heel hook in the opening round of his UFC 72 bout against Hungarian Christian Wellisch in September 2007."

ZAK JENSEN: "Boasts a 7-3 MMA record and is noted for his strong wrestling ability. Has suffered defeats to fellow TUF alumni Brad Imes and Mike Whitehead."

DARRILL SCHOONOVER: "An impressive 10-0 MMA record sets the big Texan apart from the rest of the cast. The 23-year-old is an early favourite to win the series and UFC contract."
JON MADSEN: "Part of legendary UFC welterweight Matt Hughes' stable but only has one MMA fight to his name ? a KO win over Cody Griffen earlier this month." [Ed. note: According to mixedmartialarts.com, he fought Griffen in May 2008.]

TOM BLACKLEDGE: "British MMA enthusiasts may already be familiar with Blackledge ? he fights out of the Wolfslair in Widnes. He will be hoping to repeat the success of teammate Michael Bisping by winning TUF, but his 8-6 record suggests the odds may be against him."

ABE WAGNER: "Big Nebraskan holds a 6-2 professional MMA record and could be the surprise package of this season."

This next season of TUF is going to be freaking entertaining as fuck. I bet they get the highest ratings ever for this one.
