In *this* instance, it looks like Rampage's dislike of Schoonover may end up being to Marcus' advantage.

I'm liking the Wren/Nelson matchup. I think that will be a good one.

did anybody else think Rampage was a total dick for not letting his team work/learn from Rashad? Anybody else think that Rampage's "team" must have lost IQ points by not taking up Rashad on the offer to train with his team?

I think Rashad phrased it poorly. He seemed to be asking "who wants to come train with a real team" instead of "these guys need help and maybe we should mix things up." If he had been more diplomatic, I'm sure a few guys would have been interested. Instead, it seemed like another dig.

Roy Nelson and Dana is a worker telling management that he's not going to get his **** wrecked over a handshake, a ballcap with the company logo and the promise that if he's real good he'll get a bonus.

Commie.

Please, I'm a Commie and a Nerd. I got Pro-Jones when he said he played D&D. They should comp Big Baby onto Gen Con for a bazillion hours of gaming and free Mountain Dew. WotC should buy space on his shorts. WAR.

Marcus' jits impressed the hell out of me, quick but fluid, that was cool stuff from a giant. I hope he's been working the hell out of his striking since the show though.

Marcus was great and he is just so bloody big that it poses a problem for probably everyone but Nelson.

It would be great to see a guy Marcus's size in the UFC to take on Brock. I was pleasantly surprised by his performance.

Personally, I've found Dana's BS to be worse than whatever Roy's dishing out. I particularly loved the part where Roy was talking down to Dana after being called out for being "boring"

But it would get pretty annoying if I had to listen to that kind of arrogance all day.

Good episode all in all.

Big baby had some impressive jits, not comparing him to the level of WTFness of fedors armbars, but i expected him to run around a bit, sloppily throwing punches and then gassing 20 seconds later.

somehow, he won and showed skill.

the kimbo carrot gets dangled again, does anyone even care ?

i would have liked Mitrione to fight Nelson, so when Matt "my shoulder hurts" goes to the hospital and gets cat scanned, kimbo fights double cheese burger again, lets see if he learned anything since getting resurrected from the death by crucifix.
