The Ultimate Fighter

It was billed as the biggest fight in the history of The Ultimate Fighter and one fighter was less than impressive. And that fighter was Roy “Big Country” Nelson. As predicted, Roy Nelson took out Kimbo Slice. But it was not all that impressive. He was fighting a guy that has next-to-no MMA train...

 CA We move on to the fight, which had a good ending but left me unimpressed with both fighters. Round one saw some lackadaisical stand up for the first minute or so and then Lawson took Dent down quickly. He tried some submission attempts but nothing was ...

By Michaelthebox The dirty secret of TUF is that the UFC continues to devalue the worth of TUF exposure every season.  The first three seasons were pure gold in terms of exposure: a new concept that drew big audiences, characters that felt fresh and original, and a weak UFC roster that gave ample opportuniti...

By SamCaplan As for Jackson, he was made for TUF. Tito Ortiz, Chuck Liddell, and Randy Couture are three of the biggest draws in the history of mixed martial arts.

By Matt Serra UFC Welterweight champion Ben Saunders I definitely liked from the get go. He’s not your typical, cookie cutter fighter. He reminded me a little bit of Luke Cummo in that sense, he’s a smart guy just trying to be who he is, no tough guy act about being in this sport.
