Was it just me, or did it look like CB was in the lobby with Jesse after he kicked out the window? CB didn’t seem all that surprised when Dana told him Jesse had flipped out either… I’m looking forward to Amir’s smashing his upper-lip-curling gum showing face. What a douche…

Amir’s the guy who really got screwed over with all this crap. He almost certainly would’ve beat Taylor, but CB again… He cannot be a happy camper.

CB is a gasser and not a finisher. I know people are saying that he looked great in the fight with Tim but he wasn’t doing much to impress. Granted he did beat Tim but if he was doing “great”, he would have finished. He got the unanimous decision but it was a squeaker. He looked like turd compared to how he did against Amir - until he got caught. Considering how he was already talking past Tim before the fight, he’s lucky he’s in the final. On another note: Could Tim stick his chin out anymore waiting for a KO? But I guess when one (CB) doesn’t show KO-power, you’re not as worried.

Awesome show. As for the finale, I think we’ll see a much more polished Amir. The kid already has good stand up and decent jujitsu, with him buckling down and training, I only see him getting better. CB is a beast, however he hasn’t impressed me, he has take downs and ground and pound, but seeing the shots that Tim ate in the standup with him, makes me question his power. If there is one thing Amir can do, it’s take a punch and keep on delivering.

I’m calling the fight Saturday in Amir’s favor by TKO in the second round!

I am glad to know that first off I guessed that Amir would end up in the finals, and I also guessed correctly that Jesse(dumbass) Taylor was the window kicker, and was gonna get kicked off. That makes me happy, for we will not see Jesse piss himself in the ring like a retard anytime soon.
Dana was 100% right in firing his dumbass.
and yeah Terrorizing women is dumb thing to do, and then screaming how fucking famous you are as security throws your drunk ass out is just another example of how NOT ready JT is.
I think the boys an alcoholic, he can drink to oblivion wake up the next day and go fight….like the poster above said ” he has retard strength”.
the only way Dana White will allow his goofy ass back in is if he goes thru rehab, and shows certifiable proof of it. with that said his destiny is right up there with the other big dumb country fuck from last year named speers that got knocked out cold and is fighting for brand-x.
I am gonna pick Amir again to win, this time for all the marbles, CB is just not “the shit” that he thinks he is, I think Amir is more well rounded, he has a natural ability, and when he gets proper long term training he is going to be another george rush st.pierre.
The very first season of TUF was, and always will be my favorite, but this last episode was by far the best episode of any season. Not only did the fans nt have to sit thru another boring jessee fight, but we actually got an extra fight that might not have even happened during the live show depending on the booking, its was great match up like Tim said between the 2 #1 picks, as a fan you cant beat that.
And even in losing Tim established himself as warrior, and I bet we see more of him in the future than CB.

now if my luck can stay right, Im picking Forrest over Rampage, I like them both, i just think Rampage is gonna lose.

Amir’s not really the most technical fighter…or even a very good fighter for that matter. But motherfucker…can he take a beating.

His strategy isn’t unlike Homer Simpson’s boxing technique. Let the dude pound on you until he gets gassed then catch him with a knee or submission. It usually makes for an entertaining fight…but I can’t see it being the best strategy against anyone outside this season of TUF.

I’ll say CB GnP’s his way to a unanimous decision victory on Saturday. I think Amir’s zero professional fights will probably be a factor and fighting in front of that big a crowd will probably mean his nerves will get the best of him. But I’ve underestimated him all season…so what do I know.

Man, I was so excited that Amir won the fight, since CB had one of the most boring lay and pray performances ever. But then he comes back… DOH!

I didn’t think CB looked good in either of those fights. Looks like he has a glass jaw and he instantly gasses when he gets hit in the face. Once gassed he goes for a take-down and lays on his opponent for 45-60 seconds to rest. Not an exciting fight.

The officials give way to much credit for take-downs. Seems to me if you take your opponent down and lay on him for a minute to rest (or to keep from getting hit) it should count against you - not win you the round. Same thing happened with Dante - laying on the other guy should loose you the round, not win it.

I’m disappointed that CB now makes the finals. In my opinion, he’s won his fights the same way Koschek won his fight against Diego Sanchez. CB is taking down guys with virtually NO takedown defense and then laying on top of them. He had absolutely no offense on the ground in either fight (Amir or Tim). Sure, he caught Amir with an elbow but at no point was Amir in any danger other than losing a decision.

So far, CB has beaten Nick Klein (2nd to last picked) via an unimpressive guillotine, he’s beaten Cale Yarborough via Cale’s vagina bleeding out, lost to Amir when he got completely gassed and submitted, and then was taken to a decision by Tim Creuder.

My prediction for this weekend, CB wins a snoozefest where all he does is lay and pray on top of Amir, while Amir fights his butt off from the bottom but loses the decision.

In fact, I would say that almost any 185 pound fighter would mop the floor with anyone from this season of TUF. Can you imagine any of these jokers in the ring with Bisping, Eastman, Grove, Marquardt, Quarry or Leben? Those guys are not “top of the foodchain” guys, and they’d kill these kids.

Fuck yeah, go ahead Amir. He had me worried with that rear-naked though, for a second it looked like he was just going to let CB lock it in. I thought CB gassed worse in the second fight. He did throw more single “please let this knock him out” shots against Tim but he seemed to be just as winded. Really surprised me that he didn’t really commit to GnP in the second fight, if Tim’s shown us anything it’s that he’ll let you beat the fuck out of him while you’re in his guard. Good god though if somebody would teach Tim to keep his chin down and CB to keep his eyes up when they punch they’d be much better strikers. So of those shots were so awkward it made me cringe.

I too was a bit bummed that CB lost then gets an immediate shot at redemption but honestly you know this fight would have been done a few months down the road anyway.

I’m glad JT is done. Little skill, little aptitude and no common-fucking-sense whatsoever. Good riddance.

cw: There’s a difference between ‘chatting up” and “terrorizing” the ladies. If you don’t understand what it is please enjoy your time in jail. Showing your ass (whether literal or figurative) in public while yelling your employers name will get you fired in more places than the UFC. There isn’t a business out there that would tolerate shit like that.
