Out of the competition unless someone pulls out with an injury (which is actually quite common) in which case a loser can replace them
Even if a fighter loses they still stay in the house and train for the duration of the show.

Were we watching the same fight? I thought McSweeney v Shivers was awful. Shivers cardio was terrible and he didnt seem to have that much technique at all. McSweeney had some decent defense and some nice kicks but nothing else, doesnt look like he could finish a fight ever. Both gassed had and were just standing around doing nothing, probably shouldve went to a 3rd round but I think the judges decided to save us from having to watch them fight anymore.
I think this series is pretty terrible, none of the fighters Ive seen so far have impressed me at all, the fights themselves have been terrible, Dana looks like he doesnt care, Rashad doesnt know anyones names and has picked the 1st 2 fights seemingly at random and lost them both. Rashad seems to be taking it seriously and has Greg Jackson helping him out but we havent seen much of that.
The only reason Im gonna keep watching it is that Im interested to see how Kimbo does.

That's the only reason everyone is watching, especially me.

I didn't say it was a good fight, I just meant decent as in better than last week. U can't deny it was much more enjoyable - it had many more elements to it. For a fight to be good it doesn't necessarily have to be high quality.

Did anyone(adam?) ever see the vale tudor where Rickson Gracie won it. He beat a guy known as Dragon Slayer in the final. This guy was about 9/10 stone and 5'2 or soemthing but beat a guy weighing 350 lbs+ in the first fight and a 6`2 inch savatte champ in the next round.
By the time he got to the final he was in very bad shape, especially to be fighting someone as good as Rickson and lost, but the guy was truly amazing to overcome such weight, height and reach deficiencies.
Just reading some old posts in this thread and this is on first page. I recommend getting this DVD - it's called Choke and can be picked up for under a 5er.

Rampage isn't interested in anything MMA anymore, the sport and fighters have gone to commercial for the likes of Rampage, there are other avenue's out there for guys of his personality, this is why he has retired and gone into acting. He's more interested in fame now rather than fighting, very evident on this TUF series.

Bisping v. Wanderlai Silva booked for February at UFC 10 in Australia. Incred! And GSP v. Hardy at UFC 11 in March it seems.

wtf is RioHeroes?
Sick fight cos I like both Bisping and Wand, but think I'll definately be rooting for Bisping.
UFC 12 likely to be in the O2.

Think I've seen a couple of rio heroes fights, is that the really brutal one? Bare knuckle maybe? When I was watching there were some really dirty fighter, head stomping after the bell etc.
I hoping Wandy takes this fight, I think he's better fighter standing up and on the ground but his old war torn body could fail him.
Anyone watch the last TUF ep today? I won't say anything yet I don't want to spoil.

Wandy is just an abs hero cos I love his attitude. The way he told Rampage and Mark Coleman he was gonna kill them after Coleman had to be pulled away from Shogun when he broke his arm was just class.
Wandy is the sort of guy who literally fears no-one, was a complete sicko back in the day but has just been fighting so long he's no longer what he was. Will be a shame for me if Bisping beats him as Bisping is not in the same class imo.
And yeah RioHeroes is like the Brazilian underground cage fighting, except all bare knuckle. Some fights can be found on youtube.

Where'd u watch it Benji?
I usually watch it on MMA-Core or Ninja but not up on either. Ep 11 was aired in Austrailia last week so seen that just not seen Ep 12 with the semis.
