Teachers pet.

The format of the show encourages that behavior. Certainly there is stress in knowing (in my best Highlander naration voice) "there can be only one" winner. SO they posture and strut about trying to act all badass to one another and it's comical. IME, the dog who barks the loudest seldom has the bite to go with it.

and it's as much a competition between the coaches as it is the guys really. And who wants to lose to Hughes?????

My grip is with Danas posturing and grandstanding about his single handed valiant effort to "civilize" MMA. Then he casts a bunch of over grown children to be on a TV show viewed by millions and then bitches that they make him, the UFC and MMA look bad.

I'd love to take some of those bitches out on a 6 month deployment on a sub or even a surface ship. Maybe then they wouldn't complain about a 6 week paid vaction in a swank ass house with some of the best concentrated training they will ever recieve for basically free. I am so fucking sick of hearing how the house is a "pressure cooker".

For this post, I love you... in a manly, non-grappling way btw. :XXjester:

Amen, I had the same feelings when I was watching the show while deployed. These are supposed to be tough guys and a few days away from home they're crying like babies. The worst was that guy who left the show in TUF3 because his girlfriend heard a rumour about him, boo-frikin-hoo.

Anyway, I truly think Serra will defeat Hughes. Serra is damn good on the ground and his standup has gone to a new level, whic we haven't seen Hughes reach yet.

As for the new fighters, it should be interesting. Joe Scarola has a good shot :) There are some others with good experience and training too. I think I saw that one guy has a PhD, pretty interesting.

And the drama gets worse every season, as each new guy tries to hog as much camera time as possible, plus top the last crew of guys to act like retards on national TV. This season we had Captain I can't Stop Stuffing my Face with Cake, and Mr. Invincible Streetfighting Champion of the Known Universe and the Negative Zone. Heaven only knows what the new batch is going to do.

That was until he showed his utter lack of class after a loss.

I dont think Serra can win, but I am rooting for him.

i'm saddened to say that i belong in this catagory too
hell, my first ever pair of mma shorts were Hughes signature tapouts.....i haven't touched them since his dickhead arrogance and borderline racism came to light

my uncle's a former sub mariner

he tells stories of the mentality on the sub that are really . . . pretty intimidating. Like the live drills where you go all the way through firing procedure, then only later find out it is a drill.

I've done my time on a surface ship, with 2 deployments under my belt. Strangely, I never looked at TUF that way untill now. tabwyo: you are correct sir. Yeah, the deployments broke a few people, some did some crazy ****, some left under "other than honorable" circumstances, I remeber one guy who just plain lost it, but they were the exception. And, frankly, we had more at stake.
