klingeme 0 #1 May 29, 2008 Is anyone else watching it this year? I think everyone on Rampage's team (most who lost in the first round) are at a HUGE disadvantage because he (Rampage) sleeps during the training sessions and the only thing you ever hear him saying from the corner is "Get Up!!!". To call this coaching is a joke. i think Dana picked a real loser as far as his coaching skills. He wants to be all of their "Best Friend" rather than coach.

chinagirl 0 #2 May 29, 2008 Oh, c'mon. They showed him sleeping in only one episode! I think Forest's team is doing an excellent job training these fighters but I also think Juanito is a damn good coach as well. As for Rampage, he's a great entertainer!! I still love the guy! ~Built for Abuse www.skydivethefarm.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #3 May 29, 2008 Rampage admitted that he had no idea how to coach that's why his training team is there. Forrest admitted the same thing but he has more of a disciplined PERSONAL training ethic so it shoulodnt surprise anyone that Forrest in more hands on with his guys. I think they are both doing the best they know how to. Unfortunately, I think Rampage will win. And as much as I like Quentin I prefer Forrest to win, simply because it'd be a great story; From season 1 to champ. Forrest has come leaps and bounds in his game (stand up AND GnP) but unless he has improved 2 fold I think Rampage will win, though not easily. As far as the TUF fighters I think Jesse has a good shot. I was suprised the Matt Browning lost. Amir put on a great fightMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
denete 2 #4 May 30, 2008 QuoteI was suprised the Matt Browning lost. Amir put on a great fight Dana was right about Amir's jaw, but Matt didn't land many hits that weren't at least partially blocked. Both fighters gassed early though. Surprising for Matt's experience level.SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vallerina 2 #6 May 30, 2008 I haven't seen the past two (I don't have cable, so I have to watch it when I visit family.) However, I'm a big fan of this season because of the way it started out. Having guys fight to get on the show just makes good sense considering the previous season's disappointments. As far as Rampage's coaching...well, he's not fantastic, but he's still better than Ken Shamrock's coaching.There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Balls 0 #10 June 2, 2008 I wish I had tv just for this showI'd like to see Forrest beat Jackson as well. Anyone see the kimbo/thompson fight? I'm watching it on youtube now. Lots of people saying it was fixed? Edited to add: watched the rest of that kimbo fight. I don't think it was fixed like I heard, but it was a BS call on the early stop. The conditioning for both of them was pathetic. ---------------------------------------- ....so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

klingeme 0 #11 June 2, 2008 That was a SLUGFEST. Iron chin on Jens. I thought the judges were a little harsh. I think 2 of them scored it 22-30 and one 25-30. I think the 3 rounds of 8 are a little harsh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the 3 rounds of 8 are a little harsh. I don't know what you were watching, but a score of 30 would be pretty bad since the Faber/Pulver fight was 5 rounds. The only person to ever score an 8 for 3 rounds was Kalib Starnes during his 15 minutes of running from Nate Quarry. The final scores from the 3 judges were 50-45, 50-44 and 50-44. Which means that 2 of the judges gave Pulver an 8 for one of the rounds and 9 for each of the other rounds. I don't think that's too harsh really, he did spend at least one round doing nothing but surviving and at one point made it obvious that he was just trying to stall on the ground so they would stand them back up. Damn good fight overall though. I knew it would be a tough battle, but I didn't expect it to go to decision... Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klingeme 0 #13 June 2, 2008 Your right, it was 5 rounds, I was thinking it was 50-42 from 2 judges. but I can buy the 50-44. It was late and I was only half watching the scoring considering that I had to be at work at 7:00 this morning. I agree that he was waiting out the one round. All in all, I thought it was a great fight and Jens impressed me with his chin/endurance, but I think he is close to being finished. Faber is impressive as hell. While they are not quite the UFC, the WEC put on a good show. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you watch WEC you will notice that the stage setup, lighting, monitors, and pretty much everything is identical to UFC. Really no noticeable difference except that they feature the lightweights a lot more and have featherweight and bantemweight division... Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
