Anyone watch aussie tuf?

Slick looking show. Edited very well to make the UK come across as cocky f**ks. War 'Strya!

just watched it... it looked very good.

i gotta say i feel f**king dirty cheering on a team in green and gold.. :lol:

but how can you not... the poms come across as arrogant pricks.

that said... i gotta say that G-Sot is off his rocks if he thinks his boy won that first round... :lol:

that pom handled him on his feet, in the clinch and was far more active off his back than that aussie boy was while he was on top. it only opened up for the aussie on top after the pom missed that armbar.

Really hoping Vitor takes out Bones, longshot I know. From what I've seen Jones appears real susceptible to the right hand, he just stays out of range well. Vitor's left hand may be even better (I hope).

it would be a massive upset if Vitor could win.

in some ways the fight is a total mismatch but in other ways its quite interesting.

Jones hasn't come up against someone with such a swarming style. im interested to see how he handles it.

If Vitor were to win... i reckon it would be by catching him with a big punch and then just swarming all over him and probably punching him in the back of the head atleast 5 times... typical Vitor... :lol:

but theres some good fights all over that card...

Bisping-Stann i reckon Stann is gonna KO Bisping.

the Flyweight title... ill go with Benavides. only because he has looked abit better against Cruz.

back to the title shot... like i stated earlier... Vitor definitely has a chance... but i cant help but shake the thought of his title shot against Anderson Silva. he went in hesitating.. and got kicked in the face.

Bones by KO.

Anyone see the Igor Pokrajac vs Vinny Magalhaes fight? I don't think Pokrajac got the memo on Magalhaes, the dude is an ADCC heavyweight gold medalist, why would you want to take it to the ground?

Great undercard. Solid show and holy f**k I thought Belfort had Jones in the first!

I also saw overeem retweeting a few negative jones tweets. Imagine that fight!!

what a great card... the only stinker i saw was probably Hamill but he could be forgiven after having a year away.

Jones showed a lot of heart. Vitor nearly broke the dudes arm.

Very proud of the way Vitor performed. showed a lot of courage to last as long as he did and while it seemed crazy... it was good to see someone have the courage to pull guard and back themselves against Jones.

Jones earned my respect as a champion for his display of heart in the first round. Only fight I want to see now is Jones v Silva. Dana has been talking up a GSP v Silva match up but I'm just not feeling it. Silva kills GSP all day.

Silva v Jones next please!

actually i think GSP would win easily.

he's got Chael Sonnen level wrestling with no holes anywhere else.

your gonna see 5 rounds of lay and pray.

He needs Sonnen level strength to actually be effective. He has huge holes in his overrated striking. Jake shields outstruck him which was pretty embarrassing considering Shields striking sucks.

Besides, GSP has expressed disinterest in a Silva fight on many occasions.

Jake Shields did extremely well against GSP... but GSP beat him easily in all aspects.

Chael Sonnen also out struck Anderson Silva in they're first fight... but we wouldn't question Andersons striking.

im not a huge fan of GSP... but hes the lay and pray king... and Anderson is susceptible to that style.

So obviously Dan Henderson is overated to.
