    Nelson vs Kimbo is probably the highlight of this season.

    The fights in this season have not been good, on top of that, the best guys out of this entire group will have no chance against even current B level UFC heavy's like Kongo and Herring. Heck, most would even pick Mostapha Al-Turk over them. This show unlike it's predecessers did nothing to bring depth to the UFC HW division.

    good post. none of the fighters thus far look even remotely threatening to the hw division and non even look deserving of a ufc contract

    Junk is the worst fighter I've ever seen, not joking.

    I was only really interested in kimbo. I don't see anyone even if the winner looks good, going very far. Being honest I wasn't even that interested when Kimbo was fighting, I think Rampage and Rashad not fighting means it feels like it's leading up to nothing. I would rather watch an hours highlights of the coaches funniest moments.

    Anyone on the show likely to prove me wrong? From what I have seen, I can't believe there will be.

    Well, most of the fights have been ending in the first round with boring ass submissions rather then KO's. It's the worst season of fights I've seen

    He was squared up the entire fight just waiting to be to knocked out.

    I'm wondering if Dana holds these tuf try outs at random bars to find these fighters?

    Rampage and Rashad not fighting really puts a damper on the whole season for me

    if mitrone had half decent stamina then he could have put him away. he hurt him literally every time he landed. junk only started to take the blows when mitrone got tired.

    scott junk is junk. simple as.

    ive seen how they hold the try outs. i'm very suprised it doesn't produce better contenders. it's not brillant but you should be able to get an idea of a guys ability.

    they do a 2 min grappling round and then a 2 min striking round and then they do a face to face interview.

    during the grappling round they are literally in fast forward trying to show as many skills as possible. transitions, talent, subs etc

    He was talking himself up and said he should win it and is confident in his abilities. His ability is zero and so was his cardio.
