Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 9, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 I don't hate you lamby, in fact I think you are a very good poster and seem like an all-round swell fellow. So with that said; Â Can I come? I know it's your honeymoon and all that but I promise I'll be good. I'm a short-arse as well so I'm sure I'll fit in a suitcase. Just leave the zip slightly open so I don't die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 The least we expect from you Lamby is to see all of your photos from the event when you get back (including the obligatory photo of you with Dana, doing the "hang loose" sign with your hand).

Paid Members GlennCullen Posted January 9, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 I miss the days where they'd release the names and I'd spot guys that I knew of. I've heard of Zac Cummings from this lot but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
METAL ON METAL Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Just read that for the first time ever, this season the families of the fighters were allowed to visit the house/gym during filming. Unexpected move, wonder if it was to stop the usual few a season from wanting to quit the show due to home sickness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 10, 2013 Updated the first post now with the confirmed cast which mackie posted above. Cheers. Here's a picture of the cast... Â Â I'm in shock. At least from what we can see there, not one mohawk. There's probably one lurking under a hat though. Â I miss the days where they'd release the names and I'd spot guys that I knew of. I've heard of Zac Cummings from this lot but that's it. Â Yeah, the last time I remember a proper established name trying out for TUF was Din Thomas. I think he auditioned for TUF 14 with Bisping and Mayhem coaching. Not sure why he didn't make the cut but I was disappointed because I've always liked him. He didn't even make the elimination fights for fuck's sake. Â Just read that for the first time ever, this season the families of the fighters were allowed to visit the house/gym during filming. Unexpected move, wonder if it was to stop the usual few a season from wanting to quit the show due to home sickness. Â It might also be in reaction to the UK team texting family members on the Smashes. I don't know if I like this. Couldn't they just give them a weekly phonecall like on TUF 4? Having wives and kids turning up to the gym and house seems a bit of a jump. I don't know, maybe it will add something to the show so I'll give it a chance. Could be distracting for the fighters though. Â And with the high dickhead factor on recent seasons, I can see it leading to some knob trying to chat up another fighter's Mrs or Mom or something leading to a full scale.... Â Â ...tantrum.

The segment where they allowed a fighters family to visit him in the dressing room before the fight, and to actually watch the bout, added drama to the show. Maybe they're aiming for the same thing here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 10, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 10, 2013 i dont have any problem with families having contact with the fighters, there's no real reason why it shouldn't happen (outside of giving away spoiler i guess, but that can be avoided), just because they are on a reality TV show they dont have to mess with these guys mentally.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 10, 2013 Yeah I'm not necessarily against it, but I'm not a fan of all the crying and soppiness and this will no doubt lead to more of it. Might sound heartless but I don't care. Â You see it on shows like Hell's Kitchen for fuck's sake. They're only cooking but you'd think they'd spent 2 months in Iraq the way they carry on when their families are brought in. Â We'll see. Maybe it will add to it.

iamtheman Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Series 17 of TUF, Team Jones vs Team Sonnen, will air on ESPN for UK fans! Tune in on Tuesday 22nd at 1am for the special 2 hour premier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I was just coming in here to ask if and when this was being shown in the UK, but the above post answers my question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members lambyUK Posted January 21, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 21, 2013 Friggin 1am though. Is it really any wonder why UFC hates ESPN's coverage? There's absolutely no reason why UFC tonight is not shown. ESPN show literally 90% dog shit, and there's easily a 9pm slot available during the week.
