I love seeing Bader win with his wrestling background, and not being a total dousche on the show... wait, can i say dousche on here? did i even spell dousche right? oh well... I wanna see guys like Bader and Efrain go far, even though i picked Nover... oh well, still pwned in fantasy... Next season UK vs. USA Bisping and *hopefully* Dan Henderson... or Rich Franklin. USA! USA! USA! AMERICA! |

Any one know Dan's record now. He has fought some world class Champs and lost some close Dec. |

...23 - 7 - 0 wins against the likes of Wanderlei Silva, Vitor Belfort, Murilo Bustamante, Ryo Chonan, Murilo Rua, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira(Yes the heavyweight :ph43r: ), Renato Sobral, Allan Goes, Carlos Newton to name just a few.... My all time favorite quote from Dan Henderson "It took me my entire life to learn how to wrestle...it took me 8 months to learn everything else...." :D |

Saw a thread on Sherdog about how to improve TUF... What do ya'll think? My Ideas List: 1. Bring back team challenges for matchups (especially w/ USA vs UK stress) 2. Make Dana get in the ring (i know this will never happen... but boy would it be enjoyable, and a killer for ratings!) 3. Less Booze (or some sort of restriction...) 4. COMEBACKS SEASON/Mix between new and old... (i loved the idea of comebacks season!) 5. Get legit fighters... (enough fatty's like D-Bag Guida and Rudiger... Make them come in on decent weight, and if not, they get canned for another fighter. and please, lets not pick guys just on their ability to entertain with a bottle of Jack Daniels in their hand. Or Roli's with crackerjack box Black Belts) :D Ok, feel free to add... and sorry for all of those stupid parantheses... |

I think this country vs country format will take TUF to the next level....maybe US vs Japan or US vs Brazil....just as long as it is US vs someone else... Less emphasis on the boozing and A.D.D. personalities, more emphasis on introducing the actual good characteristics of the competitors...not all MMA competitors are raging alcoholics with weight issues... :D |

US vs. Brazil Machida vs. (anyone from US...) Brazil would take it to the US, and i don't see the UFC wanting that to happen. |

I used to like you Cropduster. :rolleyes: ..suggesting that Brazil has better fighters than us is just plain blasphemous.
:D ...but do you see where I am going?? Loyalties to countries run deep...guarenteeing good ratings...or better ratings at least. ;) |

hey man, don't get me wrong. im 100% AMERICA right here, bro... but no way in HECK would Dana throw out the best prospects the US has to get demolished by some Brazillian nobody (to the average american viewer) on national television. I hope they sort of notice ratings aren't going to go up everytime someone drops a deuce in a bed or a drunk idiot does a backflip off a balcony. There is a percentage of the population that enjoys seeing good, quality fights with a side of getting to know some personality and watching highly tuned athletic machines train. |

You need to give the American fighters a little more credit...not EVERY Brazilian fighter is elite...Our best prospects will not lose to mid tier Brazilian fighers just because they are Brazilian. <_< You can Bank on it... :ph43r: |

Yes, the USA amateurs will be able to stop the Brazilian amateurs....remember, they are two groups of prospects...JUST BECAUSE A FIGHTER IS BRAZILIAN DOESN'T MAKE HIM A SUBMISSION SPECIALIST :lol: That's like saying EVERY Canadian is a great hockey player or EVERY American is a great football player. |
