The Morning After Drill: The Ultimate Fighter

  • They’re making a pretty sweet Thor’s Hammer, Mjolnir.
  • Uriah is still killing it in the gym, they make sure to have that in there.
  • Hmmm, maybe Hall is taking this too hard. I mean, like the guy says, “his an individual, he doesn’t have a team approach to anything.”
  • Yes, all Americans overlook European fighters…because they don’t do good enough in the UFC. Best is Bisping and he…well, remember the fantastic rat-tail warrior.
  • Tor or Thor? It doesn’t matter, he sounds fucking cool.
  • I really do wish more European fighters got a chance in the UFC. They aren’t all bad, but I think it has a lot to do with the cultures that they come from. Most have strong boxing or wrestling ties, or to traditional martial arts, so there are people that fight as hard as possible to keep MMA down. I mean, Ireland, U.K., Sweden, and Poland (Russia is a country located in Asia) are the only European countries I can name off the top of my head with strong regional MMA promotions. This is what I do doing commercial breaks, figure out geographical issues.
  • Justified: isn’t the main antagonist like a huge career criminal?
  • Josh Samman’s got a twitter account in the interview sections.
  • Who is the guy with the dread locks?
  • Jones, “Doesn’t kick as much as I’d like”. Dude, really?
  • Samman’s mom sounds like super liberal, you cannot do anything that may hurt someone or their feelings.
  • I don’t get that, why do husbands like to sell out their wives for BDSM with some creepy Senator looking like dude? It’s a commercial for The Americans by the way.
  • There we go, Spike commercial for Bellator on FX. They better charge them extra for it. That said, I hope Attila beats M’Pumbu.
  • Hahahaha, the guy who got beat is trying to figure out who is going to fight in the next round. Man, can’t believe this B.S.
  • I like Hall when he fights and when he talks about being a bullied. But he’s not got a lot of humility.
  • Man, fuck Team Jones. They’re all jackasses. Specially the guy who is stirring all this shit up. Fuck that Gilbert dude, I hope he doesn’t get a fight on the finale.
  • Hall isn’t the trouble maker, but he’s the dude talking a lot of garbage. Low blow man. Plus he does seem to be pulling away from everyone else.
  • Olympus Has Fallen looks good. Any man worth his salt should watch it, if only for Morgan Freeman’s sweet, smooth voice and Gerard Butler’s sweet moves.
  • Jesus….Nick Diaz is gonna get beaten. Just face it.
  • Hall just wants to smash. Let him smash, bro.
  • Man, they are HORRIBLE at bowling.
  • Good deal. Sonnen’s white, so I think he’ll beat Jones at bowling. But maybe Christ will come to back Bones up.
  • I knew it, Bones admitted he sucks at bowling.
  • The failure is so tasty. 37-35. I feel Sonnen’s scorecards will favor it. Now Bones will wear a Sonnen jersey for one training session. Too bad a Bentley wasn’t on the line.
  • Tor looks a lot bigger than everyone else, but I think it’s because of the way they frame all the shots.
  • It’s about twenty minutes until the episode ends, so I’m gonna assume it either ends in the second round or goes to a decision.
  • Josh Hall just asked whether Samman would get cut for his recaps which revealed a great amount of editing that goes into the series. No, or maybe.
  • Tor Troéng. Badass name.
  • Samman is on again about being a cardio machine. I think he’s too wound up.
  • Why can’t we have another Diego Sanchez in the series? “Yeah man, I like to do yoga.”
  • “I would love to see where your holes are, and if he exposes something today” and “People say wrestlers are gay” are the two best quotes from this episode.
  • When are we gonna get a double fist monkey smash into the arena again? I want to see broken doors!
  • Never mind, fifteen minutes till the end of the episode. Not sure they’d want to put any additional scenes at the end, it’s probably just gonna be mid-second round finish IMO. I’m calling it.
  • Samman slips but Tor doesn’t reacted. Samman is landing some good kicks, rushed but got turned against the cage. He’s still landing some knees with his back against the cage. Tor is controlling it but Samman reversed the position. Sonnen is loud with his commands. Tor and Samman are going at it with the clinch game, knees and short hooks all around. Attempted trip fails for Samman and Tor is in half-butterfly guard? Mentioned earlier he has a good triangle, maybe this is the future? Back into open guard looks like Samman is going for a sweep. Fifty fity guard? Sweet. Samman is back up, and he’s almost got Tor on the ground and landed some big shots. Tor and Samman are back in the clinch. Samman going for wicked knees. Tor isn’t doing much here. Slip by Tor he falls back against the cage and Samman catches him and knocks him cold.
  • Yup. All you have to do is keep your hands down and you can get caught. I still think Hall beats Samman. “No one is itching to fight me” Besides the guy who literally nearly killed someone in the ring. Just that one guy.
  • Where does Tor train at outside of TUF?
  • Wait, Jones’ #1 Pick hasn’t been seen at all during the season and he thinks he’ll have an easy path to the finals? Despite seeing what he’s seen so far?
  • Samman goes to the hospital. Oh nooooo.
