The state of MMA lol. Ffs these must be some of the least athletic specimens in the history of combat sports. LOL OMG I am embarrassed for the UFC
Some proper lemons in mma, real chancers, but mma has also come a long way since the Mohawk pub brawler days, there's some fantastic technical fighters competing that weren't about back in the day
Honestly the contender has been brilliant in comparison. I am so surprised by the skills of these unknowns. Most are pretty damn old too. I expected John Jackson to win the lot and he got blanked. Jackson was taking Jermell to school. Shows the absolute depth of the sport I mean you might say its superficial but every bloke on the contender looks like a legit athlete. When I was watching TUF I thought it was the biggest loser ffs lol.
I agree that this season hasn't been a good look. One or two of the female competitors might have promise, but the men seem pretty weak talent wise. The biggest headline for me is that Kelvin is an outstanding coach. He's great in the footage from the gym and his corner advice with great. I think he's going to be one of the best TUF coaches yet, like Tito Ortiz. I also though Claudia Gadelha was a great coach as was Rashad.
Kelvin does appear to have a great temperament for coaching. He is a good motivator and he does the basics very well. The funny thing is he often looks out of shape himself and I don't think it's pure genetics. The bloke must live in the kitchen. The guys on this season are appalling. Freaking Arreola looks like a machine compared to these blokes. Half of them look like the cast of embarrassing bodies. I do think MMA is in decline but at the same time I think Conor vs Khabib will slaughter Canelo vs GGG. Post that fight and with Khabib as champion will there be any stars in MMA?
What amazes me is that some people out there actually watch that garbage. The show had run it's course a good 5 years ago. Geez talk about flogging a dead horse. Can't the top brass of the ufc come up with some fresh ideas ? Bigger than soccer/football Dana says. Yeah ok Dana what ever you say. LOL
