    Which explains why Forrest Griffin is the undisputed lineal champion at 205.

    The show takes young fighters, runs them through an elite training camp, give those that look ok a fight or two, and keep the good ones, the rest is SpikeTV doing its job.

    Your point is valid, but so is some of the others.

    Forrest Griffin went the distance with Dan Severn in his first MMA fight, and had 11 professional mma fights when he went on TUF. Junie Browning has 2 pro fights.

    I wish my fat ass was around 160 again. I feel like I could give Junie a go right now, and I've never felt like I would have a chance on that show. It has nothing to do with Junie's attitude, and everything to do with his performances.

    Just saw episode 8. 40 minutes of grown men doing disgusting thinks with food. I think my TUF watching days have ended

    Some of the talent is junk, no question, although some raw talent like Koscheck and Hamill didn't have fights, but they did at least have an extensive background in something, Guys like Blake Bowman making it on there seems like feeding lambs to slaughter.

    Junie is out in Vegas with Couture now, and can fight a bit, I wouldn't recommend fighting him.

    I'm drinking, and running off at the mouth a bit. I'm sure Junie could handle me on the ground, but I think I can take him standing :bbb.

    You said it. I liked the show before because I was interested in the training that went on, now they barely even show 10 second clips, its disappointing.

    Unfortunately TUF post season 3/4 is one of the reasons i have no where near as much interest in MMA as Ii did.

    The new season has been awful. Especially the awful sex noises Nog makes when the fights are in progress.

    sex noises? hmmm I don't no who your having sex with nor do I care but at least he cares about his fighters and he is not Mir, who seems to relish all the gay man juice consumption that is going on in that house.

    The only ones I see with talent are Vinny and Phillipe, other then that maybe Bader and we'll see how Krystoff does, but thats it. The rest are there to entertain, who they entertain I don't know but that is the reason I guess.

    I can't take this season. I stopped watching it a few weeks ago. I hope all of them get KTFO. This show has gone down this season.

    Frank Mir is the worst but he is scared.
