The Ultimate Fighter Season 15 Discussion Thread

[No More Sorrow]

Yeah some of the fighters that have moved on tonight have looked pretty solid, and i haven't watched a full season of the show in like 3 years think that'll change this season.

I am another that hasn't followed a full season for years. I tried for the Lesnar/Dos Santos season but it was too boring.

Can't believe that guy didn't tap to the leg lock last fight, it was so close to popping.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Rampage/Rashad was the last season i watched in full, i think that was three years ago but yeah.

This fight, and one other tonight.

 

[Troy]

I was wondering why he keep looking down, that is one nasty broken toe. I like Faber's call that he should kick with it again to pop it back into place.

 

[No More Sorrow]

I couldn't actually see it, hopefully they show it again in the replay. Got a phone call and looked down at my phone for like 10 seconds and missed it all :

 

[No More Sorrow]

Fuck, they zoomed in on his toe and everything. That thing looks like it was ripped right off.

 

[Troy]

Ugh they didn't need to give us a closeup of that. That is one messed up toe, he is going to need some surgery to fix that. The fighter was so calm about it though.

 

[No More Sorrow]

If that happened to me i would've been like freaking out, although I'm sure he wasn't feeling any pain because of the adrenaline rush from the fight but he's probably feeling that right now. Oww.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Really good first show, ton of great fights. Some really good fighters as well, can't wait till next Friday.

Picking teams, and the first official fight of the season.

 

[Troy]

Enjoyable show and it didn't really feel like two and a half hours, they got through the fights at a nice pace. Look forward to what happens next week.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Yeah i wasn't 100% sure about the whole live format when it was first announced that was how the season was going to be run, but I think it'll be just fine. A Few of the fights just suffered because they were only one round, but the majority of the fights were still pretty good even for only being one round. Luckily though starting next week it goes back to three rounds so that'll be good.

Bout to start watching this now, give some thoughts afterwards. One thing I've never liked about TUF is how quite it is during the fights. No it's weird but the stints of silence always bugged me.

 

[No More Sorrow]

: i agree with that, luckily last night they had Dana, Urijah and Cruz doing a little bit of commentary.

 

[Ben]

Kind of hard to tell a lot about these guys based on the one round, but there's some good fighters on the show this year.

But they def need to do something about the presentation for the show, maybe put the live in fight in a smaller venue 500 some people and have Dana and someone do proper announcing, think it will get more people interested and give it a better feel.
