UFC 121: Lesnar vs. Velasquez Predictions

The UFC's biggest star returns to action tonight.  Brock Lesnar might not be their best guy or even their most marketable given his reclusive lifestyle, but his name gets an awful lot of attention.  The crowd reaction to the former WWE Champion seemed to warm a bit before his gutsy comeback against previous Biggest Fight … Continue reading UFC 121: Lesnar vs. Velasquez Predictions

The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode11

We're down to four. In a special two hour show, we are scheduled to get the two semi-final fights.  You know what that means?  That's right we'll find out who our finalists are. You know what else it means? Right again. Lots and lots of filler. The show opens with new coach, Rich Franklin, taking … Continue reading The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode11

The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 10

With only one fight left, this week's show featured the guy we love to hate, Jamie Yager, taking on Josh Bryant. Yager has talked trash for the entire series.  Unfortunately for his opponents, he has backed it up with some sick knockouts. Tonight he takes on the guy the housemates called Spongebob Squareback. Yager has … Continue reading The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 10

The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 9

The first thing we see when the show opens is Tito Ortiz telling his fighters he needs surgery on a slipped disc.  Sounds more like he's trying to duck Liddell to me.  I'm just saying. Tonight we were scheduled for two fights. The first one was Kris McCray and Kyle Noke. The two guys took … Continue reading The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 9

The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 7

Well, May sucked. Let's just leave it at that. I got behind on everything, including these.  I plan to make up for that tonight.  I'm forgoing a live viewing of tonight's 2 hour finale in order to write my reviews of the four episodes of TUF Season 11 I missed. When last we convened, there … Continue reading The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 7

The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 6

We're back again, and so is Chuck Lidell.  Having retaken control in our last episode, Lidell is in charge of setting the penultimate first round fight.  In doing so, he chooses Nick Ring (Team Ortiz) to take on Court McGee (Team Liddell). Ring was Ortiz' first overall selection and Tito feels pretty good about the … Continue reading The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 6

The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 5

When last we left our merry band of MMA fighters, Team Ortiz had taken control after Jamie Yager nearly crushed the skull of Charles Blanchard. With a couple of the wildcard contenders down with post fight injuries, speculation is rampant in the house as to how the powers that be will choose the wildcards. Hammortree … Continue reading The Ultimate Fighter – Season 11, Episode 5
