Man-drama inbound: Mayhem and Bisping to coach TUF14

[blackmonk]

Mayhem will def make this next season worth watching. Lesnar v Dos Santos has been a snoozer.

[No.1_Son]

When I posted my previous comments about Miller's hilarity, I had him confused with Rampage for some reason. So yeah Rampage and Gene should get a radio talk show dealie. But I'm glad to hear this Mayhem person, whoever he is, is also funny. Sounds like it might be interesting for me to actually check out TUF next season. I guess there's a first for everything.

Not overly familiar with Miller, but isn't he one of those athletes whose main strengths lie in trashtalking and fight hyping rather than actual ability? I mean, Bisping's not exactly the cream of the crop, but isn't he likely to walk all over Miller when they actually fight?

Nah he almost beat Jake Shields and also Ronaldo Souza. He also Submitted Sakuraba if that counts for anything...

yeah, Miller is actually IMO one of the best middleweights in the world. Very well-rounded skillset.

[wakarukaya]

I thought Jacare was doing pretty well against Miller until the illegal kick. Unless you meant that Mayhem nearly won in their first fight.

Miller is a better trashtalker than he is a fighter... he's definitely gonna piss Bisping off. I will say though that I believe Miller has the power to knock Bisping out, but Bisping backpedals more than anyone Miller has previously fought, so that could be a factor.

[sway]

OMG funniest shit I've seen in ages. I liked Bisping when he was first on TUF but, he is such a little bitch. I hope Miller gives him a stroke.

LOL at you guise for watching this show.

[tao.jonez]

What's wrong with watching The Ultimate Fighter?

[serey]

nothing wrong just funny. the quality of the show has went down many notches. instead of finding legit fighters now. we get guise with purple hair and personality. yeah yeah i know its television.


bruce leeroy is in the fucking ufc cause of this show. how the fuck did galvao get turned down.

i guess at least leeroy is fighting for like 2k

[tao.jonez]

Honestly the show was never all that great. You watched the early episodes, and you watch now if I'm reading your post right.

To me TUF is more like watching high school football - mostly it's sincere amateurs that aren't too impressive, but occasionally you see some spectacular shit.

For Galvao, I dunno how he performed at the tryouts. Being a BJJ badass isn't the same as being an MMA badass.

[serey]

season 1-5 had good fighters. sanchez, diaz, florian, kos etc.

galvao was 5-2 and fought in DREAM and SF. Karl Amoussou was also looked over. what about Rahadi Ferguson?

tuf = casting for tv personality not so much talent anymore.

and i dont watch tuf. i just know keep up with mma.

Umm, no. If the bell wouldn't have rang then Shields would have been put to sleep in their fight. There was a period of time when he didn't really take his training as seriously as he could have, but he seems to be more determined to win and to get a title shot. He is very good at getting submissions, and his standup game is pretty decent as well.

I expect Bisping to lose most likely via submission. Most people count Mayhem out because of his crazy attitude. It makes it hard for a lot of fans to take him seriously. Either way, this is going to be hilarious to watch.

[Hiro Protagonist]

Nah, Mayhem is - or, used to be - a legit welterweight contender, and one of the top-ten fighters in the sport. It's just that Strikeforce basically frosted him ever since the Shields fight, and that his last two bouts, against Tim Stout and Sakuraba, can hardly be taken as a measure for his true skills.

IF ring rust isn't an issue, and if Mayhem's earlier fights are to be an indicator, he can be a legit threat for the current champions both in welterweight and middleweight.
