I'm just done watching this a short preview of TUF and i think there's a bunch of ex-NFL players who as also participating...Maybe 3 of them. Is this the future of ufc's hw division ? ...tons of big athletes with no technic ?
ok ok , i should've watched this a 2nd time and paid more attention... There's two ex-NFL players & bunch of mma pros & kimbo ****in' slice.. damn... i'd love to watch this , where can i download episodes ? we don't get this stuff in europe..
oh no...wait , according to the promo there's 4 ex-NFL participants http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJpZSMftjXY
Yes, the show will be very entertaining. I am excited to watch the show and think that it'll be great. That doesn't mean that the UFC Heavyweight division = NFL Hybrid division. I have no idea why you think that just because there are some ex-NFL players on the TUF show that the future of the Heavyweight division is big guys with no technique. Hell, even if all 4 of those NFL players end up making it big in MMA, which I am sure they all of them won't... but even if they do... why does it mean that they will have no technique? Being a good football player isn't going to win you fights. You are going to have to have a good skillset and technique and fighting base in order to be successful... especially if you plan on taking over the Heavyweight division. Isn't as if they are going to run out and tackle their opponent into unconsciousness.
After taking a closer look on the participants , i'm predicting Schoonover to be the winner of it all.. Two other guys who could possibly be winners are either Jim York or Nelson... The others don't have enough experience imo...apart from wes sims but he sucks. So that's my top 3 York Nelson Schoonover. I bet we'll still see kimbo in the ufc even if he loses at tuf
looks entertaining, a lot of former wrestlers and the big former nfl players kimbo has no chance but i still think dana will bring him back kimbo has that appeal
The talent pool is pretty thin at HW; although Roy Nelson has a good fighter inside of him somewhere; possible that he ate one.
I still have to favour Nelson to win this. At least finish among the top 4. But I really have no idea how good some of these guys are so who knows. Some wrestlers might be able to give him some problems.
