Leben was a middle-of-the-pack brawler, while Junie is well-rounded and clearly one of the top three lightweights. While I can understand Dana doesn't want jail-bound street thugs, I think he has less of PR issue to worry about with Junie than someone like Nate Diaz, whose gym proudly boasts photos of pre-teens flipping off the camera, or Rampage Jackson who was playing Grand Theft Auto: San Diego in his monster truck.

Cant argue the fact but trust me thats the way youd want him to be because once he goes anaconda mode cuddly wont enter your brain before it passes out due to lack of oxygen. Nog can come off however he damn well pleases hes the 2nd ranked HW champion in the world yet carrys himselflike a regular Joe. CLASS ACT !! Mir should take notes. Nog is gonna remove yet another overrated UFC fighter named Mir. When Nog is done with his disrespectful loudmouth azz his motorcycle accident will seem like a stubbed toe. LOL…Nog cuddly ?

And did anyone notice the brief commercial of the UFC congratulating Brock on his win over Couture? I was like, WTF?! also, I’ve been seeing Damien Maia more on TUF with Mir’s team.

Phillipe Nover is <b>not</b> Spanish. He's not even Hispanic. He's part Polish, part Filipino. Which makes him a mix of White and Asian - Eurasian I think they call it. So you see the Eurasian guy getting the W? Yeah, I'd agree with that. Umm… Phillipe Nover is not Spanish. He’s not even Hispanic. He’s part Polish, part Filipino.

Junie needs to be checked into a mental institution, but I think he just might beat Efrain. I don't wanna count Roop out, but I'm still going for Phillipe to win. I think the LHW finalists are all deserving, but I'd wanna see a Bader-Ksos fight. Maybe they can put a Vinny-Eliot fight in the finals card. That would be fun to watch too. Although the antics were a bit too much in this season, I still think they have better talent in this one than the last. And the semis matchups are more exciting than last season's.

I used to view Big Nog as a fucking badass BJJ Grizzly bear, and now I see him more as a little Teddy bear that wants to cuddle with you. Ok, thats a bit of an exaggeration, but TUF has definitely made him less intimidating. I really like Bader and I'm thinking he takes out Eliot. As far as the Kryz/Vinny fight, I'm undecided. I think that Bader matches up better against Kryz, but I like Vinny more than Kryz. I was thinking that Efrain beats Junie, but the conspiracy theories are getting to me, so I dunno. I can't see how Junie would beat him. From watching their fights inside the house, Efrain seems like the much better fighter on the ground, which is where Junie is supposed to be really good at. I like all the LWs in the Semis, so it doesn't matter too much who goes to the Semis, but Philipe wins it in the finals. Looking forward to next week, I get to see Philipe transform from GSP to Anderson Silva (Dana referred to him during the show as GSP, and after the show as a Spider), and to possibly see Vinny show Kryz what jits is all about. Plus, Junie goes apeshit again! yeah. I used to view Big Nog as a fucking badass BJJ Grizzly bear, and now I see him more as a little Teddy bear that wants to cuddle with you.

Junie can be a lot to handle, but I dont mind the house stuff. I cant wait for it every week! I agree with Matthew, I love this season… some great fights, and I think there is a lot of talent.
