Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 20, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted October 20, 2011 Andy Wang. Without question, it's Andy Wang.  Deffo Wang. And what a fucking wang he was.  "People don't look at me and think 'he's a loser', they think 'that dude's a warrior......waaaaaaah waaaaaaah" "Andy Wang's a real f'n fighter" Mac Danzig.  i aint one to really criticise fighters, but i do think Wang was the recipient of some harsh editing, it made for some funny tv.  For me Blake Bowman is the worst ever. I think with Thacker at least he went into the house with some credentials, not from a fighting background but wasn't he a fairly decent level wrestler? he also had Randy Couture's blessing. I think they took a gamble on him and it quickly became apparent that he couldn't fight. Being season 1 i'll give them a pass.  As for Bowman, it was season 6 so they should have weeded out the useless people by then. Bowman as far as i can tell had no pro record and no real background in sports, it's a little unclear why he was there (comic relief some suspected), the guy looked petrified and im still convinced he took a dive against Richie Hightower.   Offical UFC merchandise is now available at DW Sports in the following locations: Glasgow, Oldham, St Helens, Widnes, Blackburn, Leigh, Byker, Bury, Derby, Nottingham, Thanet, Merthyr Tydfil, Cardiff, Newtonabbey, Belfast  And will soon be available at the store in Hull  ill check that out.

Swift89 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2011/10/20/2502...y-per-view-buys Fuck.  For me the casual fan just doesn't want to watch yet another rematch now matter how good the previous fights were. Also, Sonnen is as much as of a switch off with his arrogant ways as he is adored by others. I shudder to think what UFC 138 PPV buys will be like. Hopefully thye don't blame it on the UK fans and never come back. (Although thinking about it, it's free to air in the US? Which will put even more emphasis on the numbers)  Correct, 138 is not on PPV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â "I blew out my knee and couldn't get back up" Â Season six was one of my favourite TUF's purely for Team Hughes. Danzig, Rollins and Price provided the laughs and Bowman was brilliant (check out the expression on his face when Rollins starts throwing chairs around in the locker room after being eliminated) in his geeky, runt-of-the-pack role. Danzig gave him a rough time and he was a likable scroat. He's still best friends with Cole Miller and regularly corners him. Koppenhaver shitting in Team Hughes' toilets still one of the best TUF moments ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 20, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted October 20, 2011 yeh, Season 6 is great. So many weird characters on there. Â Dorian Price should go into standup comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 21, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted October 21, 2011 Paulo Filho to retire  the infamous dog fighting tattoo  I posted a few days ago that there were reports that Filho was hospitalisted with Rohyponol addiction. He's denying that claim but it's fair to say that Paulo Filho is a guy with demons. To UFC fans Filho's name might be a little unfamiliar but for hardcore fans that followed Pride back in the day, it's a little sad to see how far Filho has fallen. In Pride, Filho was the man, undefeated and dominant. He was never a crowd pleaser, but Filho (like his friend Ricardo Arona) had one of the most brutal top games in MMA history, when he got on top there was no shifting him. He was always thought to be one of the guys that would come to the UFC and be challenging for the world title, it never happened. I can't remember why he did, but instead of going to the UFC Filho signed with the WEC, it was a big deal at the time and it was by far the biggest acquisition the WEC ever made...problem is, the Filho that showed up in the WEC wasn't the same guy that fought in Pride, he looked poor in victory against Joe Doerkson and then entered a 2 fight series with Chael Sonnen which remains one of the strangest in fight history. Since, Filho left the WEC and has fought primarily in Brazil against a wide range of opponents. The fact that Filho has beaten some good fighters during this run, despite clearly having many problems outside the cage just kinda proves how good a fighter he is. He could have been one of the greats... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 21, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted October 21, 2011 Yeah Filho was a beast in his day. It seemed to me like once he had his first loss he was never the same fighter mentally. Shame to see him not fulfill his potential and more importantly it's a shame he's having problems in his personal life. Hopefully he gets it sorted. Â The dog fighting stuff pisses me off though. Not saying the guy deserves anything that's happening to him but it's something I find inexcusable. Â on a lighter note... Â Â Mirko continues to completely shattered any preconceptions anyone had of him since he joined the UFC, brilliant. Â This is fucking excellent. I see a Dumb and Dumber style buddies road trip comedy coming on starring Pat and the Croat what a strange but fucking great double act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â That was brilliant! Despite his actual fights in UFC, its impossible for anyone to dislike him. The infamous porno gif, the cheesiest walk-out music in MMA history and now singing Mamas and Pappas!

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 21, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted October 21, 2011 Not to mention his performances at the press conferences. He's a breath of fresh air at them, while everyone else is all agitated and wearing hardman faces, Mirko's joking around and cracking everyone up. It's funny because for years he hated doing the press stuff but he seems to really have fun with it now. He obviously knows there won't be many more so he's embracing it while it's still there.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 21, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted October 21, 2011 rumour is the weight cutting thing was a joke, Daley was doing it to get a reaction. There's no way he cut 40lb in a day. Â I hope this is getting aired somewhere, i wanna see it. Mike Ricci is meant to be the next big thing in Canadian MMA too, unfortunately he's best remembered for being laid out by Pat Curran in Bellator, but apparently the kid's legit.
