My bad, I don't watch TUF, therefore I didn't know that he was not a part of that show. Interesting how you slam TUF but still follow it so closely.
I know countless people that know Jones personally (from his hometown) and I've met and talked to his dad and brother Art. One of my best friends was actually on Jones high school wrestling team and he loves the guy. My ex girlfriend met him at the mall a couple weeks ago too and said he was a class act. No entourage or anything, just at the mall by himself picking things up and was very polite. The guy is a class act from all accounts and anyone saying he's an ******* when they don't even know the guy is a moron.So what if Zuffa makes sure this stuffs in the news. It's good publicity and good business, it doesn't somehow make Jones a bad guy.
I see you are still obsessed over my past training with Mark Coleman as well. You really have to start letting things go, it isn't doing you any good. Do you still think that you are fooling people with your hatred for the UFC and it's fighters? Your statements and opinions about MMA in general mean next to nothing because it's the same bull**** every time and your bias is so ridiculously off center. Hype up every fighter outside of the UFC, and downgrade every fighter in it, and the organization itself. That is your entire stance on MMA in a nutshell. Pretty sad. Yet, you don't see me overhyping ANYONE in or out of the UFC. I say exactly what I feel about everyone and I love and respect MMA and it's fighters regardless of what Org they fight under. Their are great fighters in the UFC and there are great fighters outside of it. I loved Pride and Strikeforce just as much as I love the UFC. I love any organization that is going to give me great fights.
"Yeah if i tell them that i loved PRIDE and SF that will get them on my side!" Go away Widdow. Your act is stale and really REALLY boring. You're UFC schill and you know it. Remember how you used to remind everyone that you knew Mark personally and carried his spit bucket? Like a good dog you wouldn't have a bad word said about him. Funny that you're exactly the same when it comes to the UFC. But somehow im the one out of line? O k skippy.... :roll:
They really should have put him in TUF7 though. Can you imagine how awesome it would have been seeing him just kill dudes for 13weeks.
Heh to me this is the big problem with TUF - the fighters just aren't interesting characters. The good seasons where were the fighters too center stage - Koscheck, Leben et al in TUF1, Bisping/Hamill in TUF3, Nate Diaz going crazy in TUF5 and of course Kimbo in TUF10. The coaches feud should be a sub-plot that gradually builds over the season - if that's all your bringing it gets old fast. It would be awesome if the UFC would have the balls to put a real AAA prospect through TUF - I know the camps would ***** and moan but nothing would make them a big star quicker. Can you imagine how huge Velasquez or Jones would be if they had came through the ultimate fighter?
And to make that assumption you would have to be ignorant of the fact that he had fought three times in the UFC before facing Hamill.
I assumed that TUF fights were counted as UFC fights and it was his way to finals within the show. :-(
