Dorian’s stand up looked pretty good for the first 30 seconds. His knee was nice. He sucks on the ground. He just took a pounding.

That’s true, but it’s not as if they didn’t know what to expect.

It’s too bad that being a funny dude doesn’t make you a better fighter.

I think they should have a separate house without cameras for the fighters who get eliminated. They used to send them home, but because of the potential for fighters still in it getting injured, they want to keep replacements close by. I understand that, but i think it’s too much of a distraction to have them right there in the house. Most don’t care anymore about the competition. They’re out of it so they just want to complain or get drunk act up because they feel like whats the point. I agree whats the point in keeping them all. You dont need that many replacements. Rent another house for them to stay in and still let them train, think it will solve lot of the No-ah jo-ah type problems

Dorian trains up with Jorge Gurgel, too bad Jorgie didn’t help him with his ground game!

Dorian got schooled by a much better fighter…I don’t know who was more annoying on last night’s episode…Scarola, Dorian, or Hughes.

These guys are cry babies, 6 weeks is nothing! Try 18 months in the sandbox, 13 weeks of bootcamp ect ect! You are getting to live in a nice house, free food, and get to train with the best fighters in the world in a state of the art facility! You are living the dream! You are now famous, and most likely will get some sort of contract to fight in the best MMA organization in the world! I really don’t feel bad for you…

Without a doubt I’m sick of hearing Joey Scarola’s bitching. His girl is probably sucking every guy in town while he’s away, and it makes me laugh.

I agree with rick, SUCK IT UP! like this is a chance of a lifetime and i can’t believe how much they complain about it. honestly, who cares man? i’d do anything to have a chance like that. i dunno how they can like give up just because they get eliminated. i’d still love the opportunity to train there with the team by a ufc superstar and his team even if i didn’t have a shot in the competition anymore. and you still have the chance to fight on the finale, and most of those guys who get eliminated keep fighting in the ufc anyways after the finale. stop crying about your gf or the outside world, it’s not that interesting out here anyways, i’d trade places with them in a heartbeat!

Good job Hughes for turning TUF 6 into a dramatic comedy.
What a pee brain idea to make his fighters read that passage and say he is the queen. Nobody could of done it better than hughes. His God Complex must be kicking in hard.
CHeers to the rest of tuf 6 and too next week’s
retirement speech.

Not related but sort of
my early pick in the show is Mac Danzig, I know it’s an easy pick being he’s already established and good, but he is vegan and I have followed that lifestyle for sometime, and that is my non fight related reason plus his attitude is like
Ed hermans and I went for Eddie in season 3.
but I also like arroyo,troy mandaloniz,ben saunders,
george sotirpoulis,and jon koppenhaver from team serra
and from team hughes jus mac and I think tommy speer is going to be good.
overall thou I see Mac danzig vs Troy mandoloniz in the final.

If you guys look at the list of fighters currently in the UFC, I’d say about 85% of the fighters who have appeared on the Ultimate Fighter have had alteast 1 match in the UFC and are still on the UFC website, Forrest Griffin, Danny Abbadi, and Kerry Schall being my favorite.

Agreed! I think that Joey is a puss! I couldn’t take anymore of his whinning “i wanna go home” crap. I wanted to punch him in the face and say you idiot! These guys need to know the opportunity they have in front of them. Most of them do…replace the cry babies with guys who want to be there.

I agree about sending him home he should go, it’s too bad he lost so it’s too late to replace him with someone who wants to be there but because he’s from serras camp in ny, the last thing serra wants to do is send one of his own boys home.
I mean serra knows that scaola will get to fight in the ufc in the ultimate finale and winning there is almost as good as winning the show meaning you still get to try at a career in the ufc and for serra being older and maybe feeling like he might not be around for too much longer, having scarola in the ufc gaurentees him a spot in the corner of many ufc events to come.

You just wont get very far without a solid ground game. As a striking specialist, the least you can do is learn how to get out of bad positions. He looked clueless when mounted. If thats all it takes to beat you, thats an easy win!

Thats the point. They say that by locking them up in the house they are taking away distractions, but the point is actually in taking away everything that can mentally support a fighter, while throwing pressure at them that can break them down.

Any fighter who can thrive in that environment can survive the rigors of elite UFC competition. It really says something that many fighters nobody expected to go anywhere have done well in TUF. Those fighters have usually carved out successful careers in the UFC after being considered afterthoughts going into the show. Florian was just a dude on TUF, and has blossomed into a borderline top ten fighter in the LW division. Rashad has become a potential title contender at LHW. Luke Cummo is still on undercards, but is clearly a legit UFC fighter. Kendall Grove was just a dude going into TUF 3, and now he’s a legit middleweight fighter. Did anybody see Manny Gamburyan coming?

The UFC doesn’t want fighters winning TUF and then cracking under the pressures of main card PPV fights. So they put them into a pressure cooker and see who steps up.

Dorian sucks, i was excited to see him lose. Tell him 2 stop bit****, they’ve seen past seasons. And Joey, man what a tool. I can’t stand that guy crying everytime they show his gay ass. GO HOME, don’t be scared about what Serra thinks about you.

I actually like the attitude of Dorian a lot but when it was comin time for Serra to pick the fight, he was getting all goofy. Thats when I was like “what a weirdo” but he brought me back when he said he wanted some fat hookers and a latino midget….going down as a prophet in my book. hahahaha

Can anyone say deer in the head lights when he said look into my eyes he is “serious” i saw road kill..Who picks these fighters there has to be better fighters out there wanting an opprotunity the first loss was a grapler who was submitted with a lazy choke with seconds left in the round,and the second loss (Dorian) must have never been on his back i dont think he could have got up even if no one was on top of him.

Look at their age…most have probably never been away from home and aren’t used to cooking their own meals. I bet that they never been away from a cell phone, PC or even a Playstation for two straight days before. They’re not looking at the pros, just the cons.

Yeah he does have an MBA from Ohio State…

When they pick these fighters they are not just picking them based on skill. They are searching for personality as well. People that will sell the show. All reality tv shows search for more than just the specific talent or item they are looking for. If they got 16 fighters that barely spoke and where total meat heads, noone would watch but the last 5 to 15 minutes of the show just for the fight. The shows is a marketing tool. So when a guy puts on the TUF show it appeals to his girl or wife as much as it appeals to him. This way they build a stronger following. How many girls now watch the UFC because of guys like Forrest, Michael Bisping, and Kendall Groove. There needs to be a human element not just the fight game.

The 6 weeks of no contact should be a minor detail for a lifetime of opportunity. So you can not read what you want, listen to the radio, or watch TV. That probably is the best thing that could happen to some of these guys. Like someone said earlier some of these 20 year olds probably have not even gotten out of their parents house so training was their but not a lifestyle. By removing all outside elements they force a fighter lifestyle upon each of these guys and see what kind of person(how much heart) these guys are. They get a great fight contract for a year, for the winner, and most of the guys that even put on a good show get the opportunity to get at least 2 or 3 undercard bouts and make a name for themselves there. These guys need to buck up and enjoy the free ride they are geting. A pimp house, the most elite training from some of the best that the MMA world have to offer(which under normal circumstances none of these guys would ever get or afford), a training facilty that is second to none and more than likely the standard to build to, and more than likely the opportunity to make some money and get national exposure…..So stop the blood clot crying…

I hate listening to Joe bitch about his girl, but I feel for the guy. He was put up on such a huge pedestal by Matt Serra. He trained this guy and believed so strongly in the guy that he picked him number one(the biggest opening blunder by a coach that I can remember). Serra thinks this kid is going all the way, right up until they’re standing in the locker room pre-fight and he tells Joe,”They fixed Humpty Dumpty didn’t they”. That was another great example of how Serra should think before he speaks. Joey had to be thinking Matt thinks that I’m gonna get beaten. Now that Joe has been defeated physically he still has to live with all those guys. That’s gonna be a long six weeks for him. He is also insecure about his girl who he said he would propose to when he got back. If he can’t trust her then why would he marry her? Serra should be supporting his chosen one with better coaching. I don’t know why Serra would leave practice because Joey wanted to make a phone call, then when the kid denies it he let’s him off the hook. Why not just ignore him or tell him come to practice and we’ll talk about it?
As for Dorian, he allowed himself to be choked out the same way Joey did. Matt Serra isn’t being so loyal when he tells everybody what a coward Joey is. Joey at least has company now.
