Man, I hope Kimbo doesn't get another shot. He lost just like the majority of Team Rampage, so he shouldn't be picked any more than the rest of the guys to get another chance. They deserve it just as much, if not more.
Anyway, I have a feeling "Big Country" will pick up the win tonight over Justin Wren. We'll see though. Wren is no slouch. It should be a decent fight. Lookin' forward to it.

By looking at the fighters here, Kimbo may be one of the best. Everyone else gasses out and puts together shi*ty combos and DOESN'T fight. Kimbo should get put in first.

i feel like roy nelson is going to win this fight and the show at the end, BUT i think justin wren will be one of those few castmates that make it longterm into UFC without winning.

That should of went to a 3rd like they said. Dana White is intellectually- disabled. That's the way Nelson fights. That's like getting mad at Brock Lesner trying to take everyone to the ground.

Yea, that fight was BS man. It should have went three rounds. The Judges are intellectually- disabled too, Wren clearly won round one. I hate Roy, with a passion.

Man, Dana White is just plain bitter because Roy Nelson beat the "hype machine" for this season of TUF, Kimbo Slice. That's all. He's just pissed because he wasted all that valuable air-time constantly hyping up and plugging Kimbo's first fight in the UFC and it ends up being one of the biggest let-downs of all-time and Roy Nelson surely isn't the ONLY one to blame for it.
If Dana White is going to blame the winner of that fight for not putting on an exciting performance, then he should put some of the blame on the loser (Kimbo) as well.
Anyway, that was a long time ago and let's just move on. The better fighter won that time, wether it was a poor performance or not. Enough said.
I'm glad Roy won over Justin Wren though. I actually thought he had lost the fight to be honest and was surprised when Dana announced him the winner.
As for next week's episode, I think Matt Mitrione will end up fighting and Kimbo won't get a 2nd chance. We'll see though.

Get over it already. It's already pretty much all but confirmed that Kimbo will be fighting Houston Alexander at the TUF 10 finale.

I feel bad for the fighters to did not get hyped up in this season. They should be just as eligible for a shot at another match as Kimbo.

usually I would agree...but as Bob Sapp said....Kimbo has put on the most entertaining performance out of all the losers..right up there with Demico.

i had it 20-18 for nelson personally, but round 1 was a very close and a tough round to score. wren dominated the first half of round 1, but was completely gassed the 2nd half, and was gassed pretty much the entire 2nd round. cant argue against a 3rd round, because that 1st couldve gone either way, but ill be honest... i was shocked to see nelson had considerably more stamina than the 22 year old kid. nelson is a fat ... but he is a fighter. a boring fighter, yes... but a fighter nonetheless. and wren peppered him early in round 1, and nelson stood to it.

Glad Nelson won. He picked it up and Wren gassed. Good fight IMO

I really felt Wren won the first round by a good margin. I'll have to rewatch the fight and see what I didn't see the first time. Nelson got those knees in while in the clinch and held the cage control during the clinch, he did better defensively, however he still didn't land many strikes during that first round. Wren's strikes were sloppy but powerful and more of them I thought.
2nd Round I put to Roy. I felt Wren won maybe the first minute, then Nelson slowly came back and started landing a lot of shots, not the hardest or best, but racking up points is where it goes.
I really think that should have gone to the third round. However, I think Wren has a lot of potential and we're very likely to see him in the UFC within the next 2 years. He'll bounce back and pick things up. The most recent pics I've seen of him he looks like he's leaned out a bit, so maybe we'll see him drop to 205? Who knows. I hope he does well being a local fighter. Hell, if I had graduated one year later I probably would have destroyed him when he was a freshman as we wrestled his high school regularly.

Soooooooooo, looks like Kimbo could be back in the hunt for TUF: Heavyweights title: "We have just had James McSweeney join us there as well who also trains at Greg Jackson's camp. He's a great sparring partner as he's big and strong which I like as I learn more. He is due to fight Kimbo Slice in the UFC in November. He has just come out of the UFC ultimate fighter house where he did very well." Source: www.mmaspot.net/interviews.php?id=33

No, i'm assuming if infact he does return he will be fighting McSweeny in the quaterfinals bout taking Mitrione's place.

round 1 was boring as shit... two nice takedowns/throws, combined with absolutely nothing happening in the ground. round 2 was unspectacular... schaub landed two punches, and madsen crumbled. no chin at all.
so next week... is all 4 fights? or did i hear that wrong? we got titties/marcus... mcsweeney/mitrione/kimbo... and the two semis, right?
