    The guy who was bitching about fighting bubba the whole time quits fighting him, not that shocking.

    Yeah he hasn't got it in him I don't think, you could see how upset he was that he'd drawn Urijah, the fear was obvious. Hes clearly way too emotional and it was ok because he fought Casey who is fairly **** but against Urijah that'll **** him up.

    @ 4:00 "Then they both got pretty angry and ah all manner of ridiculousness ensued" :lol::lol:

    From wikipedia

    Episode 8: Rock 'Em, Sock 'Em
    • White visited the house to try to inspire the fighters after a few lackluster bouts leading to poor judges decisions.
    • Michael Hill got drunk and challenged Neil Magny to a fight in the quarter-finals. Julian Lane, in a drunken rage, then began challenging Dom Waters to a fight by continuing to plea "let me bang, bro," to Hill. Despite Hill's assurance that "[he] will let [him] bang," the fight never materialized and Lane ultimately cried.
    How have I never seen that before its ****ing hilarious

    Hall looks very impressive he certainly has that aura about him no wonder that Josh bloke wants nothing to do with him.

    Uriah Hall is probably the most exciting TUF contestant ever. I don't like his personality, he's a fukin loser, but his striking both hands and feet is second to none. The quickness is pretty unreal. Mind you what Bubba was doing sitting in front of him with his hands down was pretty dumb add to the fact bubba was scared shitless didn't help. I think all of the fighters are scared of him but there's a reason he's had two losses in only 7 fights so far. Get his ass to the ground and do not fuk with him standing. I think even Condit was thinking "holy ****"" when he saw him dispose of bones' sparring partner in seconds. Wonder how long the aussie guy will last, atleast he has heart and won't be as scared as bubba was. Poor Josh, he must be shitting to fight in the finale assuming he makes it.

    Uriah seems up and down but doesn't seem like a loser in any way shape or form.

    Weidman actually dropped him in a standup exchange and finished him with GnP. That was likely because he feared the takedown, though.

    I've yet to see the Philippou fight. Not bad losses to have early in your career, all things considered.

    Man I hope Uriah destroys Josh saman in the final
    cant stand that guy's attitude
    hes not the worst fighter but hes such a ****, always has his ****in shirt off & thinks hes gods gift to mma
    with his stupid double punch
    cant wait to see him get exposed

    on the other hand Kelvin Gastelum really impressed me, I didn't thought he would be that good, still looks green but his fights were really exciting to watch
    he look though as hell & powerfull

    Does anyone else think that Sonnen seems to really be improving Hall's mental game? He seems to get through to Uriah, and it's reasonable to expect that he's already a significantly improved fighter from the guy who arrived at the tryouts. :conf

    He's insecure as hell to the point he verbally attacks his own team members. If you saw the episode where they were sitting by the fire and he starts attacking a couple of the guys for absolutely nothing and completely insults the guy saying "is your girl more ******ed then you". He admitted after he was out of line but you can't even joke without the guy freaking out. And the way he acts like he's some god with some of the comments he makes, he's a douchebag supreme. He's right on the same level as Josh but atleast Josh doesn't freak out if he hears the guys joking with him.
    Uriah is the type of guy you could jokingly say "man are you getting a little fat?" and he'd have a meltdown

    If you can't stand Josh's attitude I don't understand how you can't dislike Uriah's. Josh is just intelligent and knows it and comes across cocky. Uriah isn't intelligent, but comes across cocky.

    Even last night he was saying after the fight to his team member "man, I was just trying to beat your fastest knockout record" as if to assume bubba never had a chance. I thought that was pretty disrespectful to actually say that, whether or not he really felt it and whether or not bubba had a chance. There's a plethora of quotes from this guy throughout the season that amplifies his cockiness and disrespect for his teammates and opponents.
