Polo 1,433 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Now there's a fair chance this thread will die a very quick death but I'll give it a shot anyway For those who haven't been watching, this season's coaches are Rampage Jackson and Rashad Evans and the fighters are heavyweights. There's a lot of friction between the coaches but the recent news that Rampage has quit the UFC means we won't get to see them face off at the end of the season. Among the 'cast' are a few former NFL brutes and two reasonably big name fighters - former IFL champion Roy Nelson and youtube legend Kimbo Slice. I don't really know too much about most of the fighters in this series and heavyweights aren't usually the best to watch but I'm expecting some serious knock-outs. The first fight was absolutely brutal and the second was a complete slug-fest. The early signs seem to suggest that this season will be less about technique than its predecessors. The first fight saw Jon basically lie on top of his opponent (can't remember his name) for 3 rounds and batter fuck out of the side of his face. Not pretty and it should have been stopped The second saw Rashad's first pick, James McSweeney, against ex-NFL brute Wes Shivers. McSweeney won a decision but I thought the fight should have probably gone to a third round. I wasn't impressed with McSweeney at all considering how much he was being bigged up by Evans before the fight. Fair enough, he was giving away a lot of height, reach and weight, but if he wants to become TUF then he's going to have to buck up his ideas. Shivers was out on his feet after the first round - shades of Dave Faulkner last year. Next up - Kimbo vs Roy Nelson. If it stays standing then you've got to favour Kimbo - he's fucked if he's taken down though. Anyone else getting into it this year?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the goal machine 7,806 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Roy Nelson should dominate Kimbo but he always has a punchers chance. Roy will win the whole thing IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Maestro 11,186 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Both fights were awful! I thought McSweeney would be a lot better and the first guy will get demolished against anyone who has a 1/10th of a ground game. I have a feeling if Slice goes in with a proper gameplan he can win, depends if the fight stays on the feet and Nelson wants to slug it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I watched most of it but fast forwarded bits on Sky +. He looked pretty wary of Dos Santos to be honest and it was a pretty unsatisfying stoppage!
