And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
It at least played mention to when Jon Jones biggest epithet here was "herb" rather than "cockehead rear end in a top hat"

Remember the day before he won the title he tackled and held down a purse snatcher and gave them a lecture on treating people right while with Jackson?

If you mean pushing the redemption angle after his first public trouble, yeah UFC was selling some bullshit. But before that I can't blame them, guy is a sociopath and lied his rear end off about who he was to anyone that would listen.

I can hear you
I liked the TUF bit where they did a challenge to have a lighter guy climb all over a bigger guy and one pair did it for like an hour and then the other team just goes and forfeits because those guys just exhausted themselves and they have to fight tomorrow. I think it was Rich Franklin as the smart coach.

It was a good plan except the fighter they saved from having to do the exercise was Jorge Gurgel and he immediately lost on account of being Jorge Gurgel.

Gurgel is just the most significant victim of occupying a five mile radius with Masakazu Imanari

Goddamn I just saw the whole Chris Leben meltdown and it was loving beautiful and i hate him and it's wild that nobody is going well maybe he shouldn't be talking all the poo poo in the world all day if he can't take someone finally hitting the nuclear button once

Is it because of USADA?

I like how they edited out the dump truck speech from the Fightpass version of that fight. It makes this video so much more precious.

Almost the entire TUF 1 class went on to varying degrees of MMA fame after the show ended (and they all show up for the TUF 1 finale) but make sure to read this article detailing what happened with Jason "Strange Brew" Thacker after the show was over. https://www.mmafighting.com/2015/3/24/8259545/in-search-of-strange-brew

Leben Akiyama is got got me into mma. It also msde me think both guys were awesome world class fighters worthy of my attention as a fan. It took me years to decondition myself to think that way about Akiyama and I won't let some goober who likes Bobby Southworth take The Crippler away from me :colbert:

Still the only man to beat Frank Mir twice. Also the only guy ever who an athletic commission said wasn't good enough to fight Tim Sylvia.



Didn't someone involved in the TUF 10 production more or less admit that they brought Simms on because they knew he'd lose right away and spend the rest of the season being weird and creating entertainment?

First live MMA show I ever went to was a Gracie Fighting Championships card where Daniel Gracie forgot you couldn't knee a downed opponent and beat the gently caress out of Wes Sims so bad he got carried out with a brace on his neck. That card also had a "TKO Wouldn't Get Up From Butt Scoot" on it.

a few years later, I was at a WWE show in that same arena and Wes Sims was second row in a horrendous affliction shirt being a douche
