David Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Did anyone happen to catch what make those motorbikes were? Harleys I may be wrong, but I don't think he was actually looking for an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 What happened to Vick at the end? He wasnt gassed or hurt, yet as soon as he got mounted he turtled up and forced the ref stoppage, even before any punches of note were thrown. Ive rewatched it about 5 times, and it looks bizarre every time I see it, even moreso because of how fine he was 30 seconds before the takedown. He looked like Bob Sapp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey_Piste Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Dude has next to no ground game, as soon as he's on the bottom he just shat the bed. I've seen it before with guys who are decent kickboxers and don't think they really need anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted May 28, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 28, 2012 I've finally got round to updating the first post with the updated finale card. I think they may add a couple of fights still yet though cos it looks a bit short. Looks good though.  I'll post it here aswell for the lazy bastards  MAIN CARD (FX - ESPN UK) Jake Ellenberger vs Martin Kampmann (Five Rounds) Mike Chiesa vs Al Iaquinta (TUF 15 finale) Max Holloway vs Pat Schilling Jonathan Brookins vs Charles Oliveira  PRELIMS (FUEL - ufc.tv) Justin Lawrence vs John Cofer Myles Jury vs Chris Saunders Chris Tickle vs Daron Cruickshank Cristiano Marcello vs Sam Sicilia John Albert vs Erik Perez Jeremy Larsen vs Joe Proctor  They'll probably add a fight to the main card at least. I'd expect Andy Ogle to get a fight aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 They'll probably add a fight to the main card at least. I'd expect Andy Ogle to get a fight aswell. Ogle is suspended due to a concussion. White told him he'd get a fight on the Nottingham UFC show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted May 28, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 28, 2012 Oh right yeah, that's fair enough. Probably be better for him getting his debut on home soil anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I knew that Brookins vs Oliveira was coming up, but I had no idea it was this week! Interest just piqued. Â I'd wager UFC are hoping for a repeat of Aldo vs. Brookins, as am I. They've put way more stock in young Charlie the Brazilian phenom, while really underselling Brookins for a TUF winner.

Herne's Son Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Is it the norm that the guys who were on the show that then win on the finale get UFC contracts? I know they used to sign a whole bunch of guys on the earlier seasons but thought that it didn't happen so much anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted May 29, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 29, 2012 Yeah it's pretty common. In rare cases they've even kept guys on who have lost on the finale, Louis Gaudinot off the last season is the most recent example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Yeah, I think it comes down to how they did on the show itself, and how they do on the finale. Usually if they look as though they could have a future in the sport they're kept on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted May 29, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 29, 2012 Yeah and in Gaudinot's case it was clear he was an undersized 135er. He was kept on and dropped to Flyweight and looked much more suited to that weight winning a really good fight recently. Â Gaudinot also won a Fight Of The Season vote for TUF 14 so a guy like that will always be given a second chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted May 31, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 31, 2012 whilst i think this season was arguably the poorest season yet in terms on drama it no doubt delivered from a fights point of view...should make for some good fights at the finale. Â Quick point though, usually the guys are given time to go away and get a full training camp with their teams before coming back for the finale, this time the guys are going in straight out of the season. That's a little harsh, i think the time guys get to go away and train properly allows it to be a bit more of even playing field on finale night, anyone agree? Â The UFC has confirmed that next season will be live also so they are sticking with it, if i had my way i think id go back to the old format...not just because the finale example, but because of the basic entertainment value of the show. Â Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted May 31, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 31, 2012 Schilling/Holloway's a weird little main card fight here, both guys are coming off debut losses so to find themselves on the main card is a big bonus to them guys. I liked the look of Holloway against Poirier though, entergetic little fucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimufctna24 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 The best way to breath new life is a comeback season in my opinion. Â I stopped watching a few weeks back, and TUF Brazil a few weeks before that (mainly due to subtitles). UFC and MMA are oversaturated these days, you need a hook to get the viewer to tune in, a comeback show with some familiar faces and two well known coaches would do this.

Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted May 31, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 31, 2012 Yeah, Live or taped, it's still the same same show overall. The live shows do add a bit of extra intrigue to the fights, but then you lose a bit of the in house stuff. Either way the format is stale. A comeback series would be nice, but I don't see that being long term either. They need something completely new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
