I just don't think there is arrogance in MMA, really. I mean, people can be dicks (See: Matt Hughes)...but confidence is key. Agreed. If you don't go into a fight thinking you're going to win, then you and your camp haven't done a good enough job to get you ready.

Really?
I have to go with Bader...is it Bader or Vader? :/
and Phillipe..or Fileppe..whatever..hah. I can't spell names.
But Phillipe is an amazing fighter and I think he has a real future in the 155 division. He has some good jiu jitsu and some solid shots from the feet. Efrain has not impressed me. A win over Junie doesn't impress me.
Bader I think he was holding back in his last fight. He was just extremely hesitant and wanted to make it to the finals. Vinny is an amazing jiu jitsu guy but his standup is so-so. I think as long as Bader keeps it standing (which with his wrestling base, should be no problem) he will get the win.
Any word on what the main event is?

According to UFC.com's listing the 155lb final is the main event, and the 205lb final is the co-main event.

I just watched Season 3 of the Ultimate Fighter. I must say I am a new fan.

So far from Season 9, I really hate Cameron. The kid is a freakin prick and honestly will probably get beat.

I don't know fighters names yet but if Cameron is the guy with the plugs in his ears than I completely agree.
The guy is such an assh*** and I hope to god he gets his ass beat....which means he won't..and he will win and probably make it to the finals just because the guys I always hate are the ones that make it to the finals..

Team UK was off to a phenomenal start until Bisping no-showed.
I pretty much knew that the UK would suffer their first loss because Dan obviously made a "our strongest guy vs. their weakest guy" match in an effort to boost morale, but the one-two punch of their first loss plus Bisping's no-show looks like it could really put a damper on the team spirit of Team UK.
Plus, it's interesting to see how Team USA are imploding. You'd think that after nine seasons people would get it in their heads that the "I came to win fights, not make friends" mentality is only going to breed unnecessary drama and bickering.
With all that said, I've been enjoying this season a lot so far. I just got back into watching TUF, and I think the US vs. UK dynamic has been working pretty well. I'd love to see it happen more: US vs. Brazil would be very interesting, especially if they get a wrestler to coach the US group and a BJJ guy to coach the Brazilians.

I thought this week was hilarious when that idiot Frank Lester got beat by James Wilks. He was going on and on about how he was going to "smash his ing face in with elbows" and then, 1. Got his false teeth knocked out, and 2. Got submitted by a guy who he said was a "crapfighter" and "shouldn't be here". Very good season this year. The Gent.

That was an epic irony moment with the teeth getting knocked out.
That said, I really can't condone what Bisping did, and apparently he can't either, since he called it inexcusable. I can understand severe jetlag, but seriously...get an alarm clock, get a cell phone, etc. etc.
He's the coach of the season...he's got that responsibility. Literally sleeping on the job is a blow to him and his team.

I was actually hoping Frank would live up to all the talk he was talking about smashing his face with elbows. Would have made a great fight. Instead he looked sluggish, and once his teeth came out, mentally he wasn't in the fight. The Brit did a great job in that fight.
As far as Cameron beating the Brit, I was shocked honestly. I thought he was gonna get his ass kicked, and was kind of hoping for it because I don't like his attitude. However he proved me wrong and put on a great performance.
I can't wait to see the rest of the season, should be some good stuff.
