Ultimate Fighter, Season 2

[Big Rick Rock]

I wanted Rashad to win just to watch Matt Hughes get pissed. Then both Matt and Dana White can't even fucking admit that Rashad was the better fighter. They both talked like Mike "beat himself". Buncha bullshit. Dana White was like, "I was shocked at Mike's gameplan!...I KNOW Mike has better stand-up than Rashad...Mike just choked. He choked!"
And Matt was like, "(Mike) lost the will to fight...just giving up. Not even trying!"

Jeezzuss!

Mike tried to stand up with Rashad. Rashad got the better of him. Mike then tried grappling. He ended up getting pounded worse than when he was standing. The guy basically got an ass-beating.

On standup, Rashads timing was much better; the strikes he initiated would land. But when Mike attempted a punch, Rashad would either create enough distance, or block and counter it. Often, when Mike was about to throw a punch, Rashad would telegraph it and create distance so Mike wouldn't even throw the punch. Mikes corner was telling him to throw punches, but he knew that he would either just hit air, or get countered.
Then when it went to the ground it always ended up with Mike in a position to where he was taking multiple strikes.
but it did look like Rashad hurt his hand during that last flurry. My suspicians were confirmed when during the previews for next week show Rashad with a sling on his arm.
Mike didn't "beat himself" like the show is going to try and make us think. One man was a better fighter than the other, simple as that.

Like I posted earlier, Rashad got a little stupid and hit Whitehead on the elbows and on top of the head. That is a great way to injure your own hands.

Saw the fight last night. Mike looked like a winded bloated sack of yogurt ass blubbering around the ring. He just kind of stood there I was shocked. My impression of him before the fight was one of a big meat tank that was going to be tough in the ring. Like a big balding bull headed beefstick. How wrong I was. He was a disgrace and just kind of looked like a tired log.

I really think Hughes is overtraining his fighters... Luke seemed to be OK, but he is a freak who eats celery and kelp.

I agree 100%
I think I brought that up in this thread but it may have been on another forum I mentioned it
especially with reguard to the heavyweights
Matt is training everyone like he is training Joe, well Joe did wrestling I believe in highschool so he's used to a high level of conditioning
everyone else isn't going to be able to do that
Matt just, isn't getting that
no matter how many HeavyWeight Bouts he drops he won't figure it out it seems

First post here coming over from bb.com. Thought I'd make the first in the MMA threads. I actually see some familiar faces....what's up, KaneFan.

Seth wins the Heavyweight by decisions. Joe dominates all the welters. My 2 cents. Rock-n-Roll.

Your shoes gave it away, lol. I rolled with Tom Murphy today, I'll be rolling with him tomorrow too. He's got great ground skills, besides the 20 lb difference I couldn't get what I wanted. He's in town this weekend, he'll be going back to Vermont and training with David Loiseau afterwards. Rock-n-Roll.

Caught the re-run last night of Monday's episode.

Y'know, sitting on my couch at home, I get frustrated watching Rashad. He seems to have so much potential, but just doesn't listen to his corner.

I'm not even going to comment on the other guy. I'm surprised Matt didn't beat his ass right then and there.

 

[Kane Fan]

Rashad dosn't bother me
I don't know why
his first fight was really boring outside but the inside work was good
this fight he did fine on the outside

Rashad reminds me of a Chris Byrd type fighter. He waits for his opponent to be offensive then he counters, negates it and offers his offense. In the first fight, Tom did nothing... which made Rashad (a counter fighter) have little to work with. I think Rashad can rack up a lot of wins like this, but it is not an exciting style to watch.
