Polo 1,433 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 So did anyone watch the series premiere of TUF 15 this weekend? I think it’s due to be on ESPN most weekends? First episode was live and consisted of 16 one round fights. Loads of finishes Special mention to Justin Lawrence. Looks like an absolute animal! Will be interesting to see how he does against the lay and pray artists.Worst fight was either the 6”3 boxer vs the guy who clinched against the cage for 5 minutes or the Brit (Ogle?) who was caught in a semi-triangle for most of the fight but managed to get the decision.

You can really notice the difference between the TUF guys and the UFC guys now more than ever I think. The majority of them are well rounded, just not really great at anything. That triangle attempt was poor, the attempts at escaping poor also. How can you have a guy almost locked in for most of a round and not finish/transition to an armbar etc.Christian Marcello should take this season, excellent jitz(3rd degree black belt), former Chute Box BJJ coach who has been around the game for a long time. The guy he subbed was an Eddie Bravo black belt, and he made him look like a white belt on the mat. His striking looked decent too. He was the guy that choked out Charles "Krazy Horse" Bennett backstage at Pride, it's on YouTube. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got destroyed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goal machine 7,806 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I'm picking Myles Jury. Should be a decent season.Looking forward to TUF Brazil as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a decent season.Looking forward to TUF Brazil as well.I'm sure I read he's supposed to be a great fighter? IIRC he played it ultra safe in his fight? Wrestler I think - unless I'm confusing him with someone else. Is TUF Brazil likely to be on tv? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrestler I think - unless I'm confusing him with someone else. Is TUF Brazil likely to be on tv?He's 9-0 and has finished every one of his opponents, apart from the TUF fight, so he is a really talented guy. He was the last guy to get into the house. He was supposed to be on the 13th season but he tore his ligaments so he's clearly someone the UFC rates. I'm not sure, but it will available on the Internet somewhere I think.

Polo 1,433 Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 I think it's on live in the US on Friday nights, then repeated on ESPN on Sat / Sun nights? You should be able to watch the episodes on The Ultimate Fighter website. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it might have been a last minute decision to decide to show it live here.I was on the UFC website earlier and it doesn't look like the UFC Sweden card is live though.Hopefully that'll change too.

Polo 1,433 Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 Lawrence v Marcello this weekend It'll all be about whether Marcello can take Lawrence down. Read somewhere that Lawrence is meant to have a fairly decent wrestling pedigree so we'll see.Bit of a shame two of the better guys are going at it so soon but it'll certainly make it interesting. There are bound to be injuries which free up a slot or two for second chances anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polo 1,433 Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 And Lawrence TKOs one of the best guys in Faber's team...Myles Jury up next week. Surely another win for Team Cruz.My Sky+ recording cut out again this week Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polo 1,433 Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 Recording interrupted AGAIN so missed the sudden victory round of the Jury v Iaquinta fight. What a shambles ESPN's coverage is Great 1st couple of rounds though. Chiesa to win by ragdolling Larsen next week I reckon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
