Many of you will disagree because you hate the crazy son of a bitch, but it is true if Junie keeps training at Xtreme Couture, he will only enhance his skills. In the future, say like UFC 95 they should schedule a fight between the winner of the lightweights to face Junie, If Junie wins his fight against Kaplan. Which many Expect him to do. If people like Dana White think this kid has talent that is saying something, if Dana didn't see potential in Junie he would of kicked him out when he first flipped out.As for thr finale, I see some great matchus here. Vinny will submit Bader, Vinny is training at Xtreme Couture, and you would have to beleive he is learning takedown defensive techniques. Nover is my pick for the lightweghts, HE IS A CRAZY MOFO, TKO second round for Nover. I can't wait for "Rumble" to face Burns. I was outraged by the conclusion to that fight it had fight of the night written all over it! Ryan Bader vs Eliot Marshall, What a f***en boring fight, all Bader did was lay on him. I believe Eliot could of gone for a gi choke or Gogoplata. The finale looks pretty decent I'm excited about most pf the fights and am looking forward to them.

LOL. It was so rewarding seeing that chode go out on that one. And the next thing Junie will be comfortable saying is "Do you want fries with that?" A D’arce choke. LOL.

Vinny has good jiu jitsu and the rest of his game is poor. The other guys look like they have been training for about 3 or 4 months total on the ground and less than that in strikes aside from that polish dude. I think anyone from our local mma class could make the finals. Why doesn't Dana require some actual experience for these contestants? Maybe he likes drama queens like Junie and coco but it is bad for the sport. It makes us look like alcoholic clowns. Get some serious martial artists that represent the sport well and can actually fight. None of these guys look to impressive. Vinny has good jiu jitsu and the rest of his game is poor.

Dana thought Junie would win this thing, that's why he didn't want to kick him off. "I'm glad justice was served" is just rhetoric. Meh…please.

Both guys have an amazing base to start with, and now they can go back home and work on all of their weaknesses. It won't happen overnight, but I hope we get to see it happen throughout their careers in the UFC. They both have a ton of potential.

When fighters are in the cage, they're not going to listen to EVERYTHING they hear from their corner. Remember when Andy Wang wouldn't take his fight to the ground and BJ Penn was yelling at the top of his lungs for him to do so?? BJ yelled throughout the whole fight. He didn't sit down and stop coaching 3 minutes into it. And this is BJ Penn we're talking about.. no one's more stubborn than that guy. Mir came off looking really bad throughout the season. Questioning Roli's belt, bashing the red team after the soccer challenge, totally discrediting Bader after his win, and then sitting down and rooting against his own fighter in the semifinal. Also, it doesn't help when the coach you're competing with is a legend in the sport and one of the nicest guys in MMA. A lot of people will be pulling for Nog on December 27th.
