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.

Right on the money C-Bus. Good points.

Agree with armbutt. He got the submission, he bided his time, waited for his opportunity and took the win. No fluke in that at all. He deserves to be where he is because of skill, not brute strength and lay+pray. I think he would have submitted the gorilla in round one, Amir vs CB will be a great war.

And please no sympathy for the Apeman. He might mature and be a good fighter oneday, but for the time being his reality check was MORE than justified. Bring that suckers feet back down and nail ‘em to the fucking floor. Good job Dana.

Call it luck, call it skill, call it heart or whatever you want, fact is, you can’t doubt the fact that Amir knows how to win, and he knows how to stay in a fight even when he’s getting his ass handed to him. CB was fucking DOMINATING him for most of their fight, and Amir wouldn’t go away, he kept working, he kept striking, and eventually pulled out the armbar. It was an epic fight with the best man winning, what can you complain about?

How many “upsets” does it take before they’re not “upsets” anymore? Amir was a big underdog against CB and pulled out a great win, wasn’t luck, was a great win.

really sucks about jesse taylor… it deff. would have been a kickass finale with him and CB. amir, i believe, has pretty much lucked his way this far. notice all of the “upsets” whenever he beats someone. its still gonna be a kickass fight scince both of the fighters know how the other one works.

Dana White had the best line of the show when he said, “Dude, you’re not even fucking famous yet.” That’s reality for JT. That whole scene was making Forrest and Rampage squeamish. You could see them cringing on the couch.

But Dana was absolutely right. JT is not mentally ready to be a professional, not ready to represent the UFC. Amir, CB, and even Tim Credeur are all much better choices.

@ Chris J – I noticed that too, he looked massive, considering is 0-0 in pro MMA, I think if he was in a good training camp between filming and now he could still walk away with the W over CB. As good as his wrestling is CB looks very prone to the submissions.

Awesome end to a crappy season, bring on the finale and then the coach’s matchup.

That’s true, CB really didnt look great against Amir, but I feel it’s lame for CB to get a second chance, and also for Amir to have to fight the same dude again. That being said, Jesse Taylor probably would have been a worse match up for Amir than CB is so I guess thats positive.

I agree with you Chris J. Amir looked ripped and in great shape, as well as CB. Its going to be a great fight this weekend regardless, much better than the one we saw last night.
But JT screwed himself over. Sucks to be him.

I don’t think Jesse was thrown off for the just the reasons they showed. I’ll bet he leaked the result of the final matches when he was drunk – that would fit with what Dana White said about him claiming to be ‘a UFC Fighter’. I figure he was more like ‘I’m fighting in the finals bitches!!’ hahaha. I can’t imagine that they would really pull him for just what they showed on the video and discussed about chatting up the ladies. Interesting too that all of this happened in a casino owned by the Fertittas. Dana’s claim that nothing gets past him in Vegas is crap. He only knew about this cos’ of the Fertitta connection. Do you really think LVPD would call Dana if one of the TUF guys ended up in the drunk tank after the show finished filming???

@ armbutt – I think we will see a totally different fight. I dunno what the hell was up with CB in his first fight but damn he gassed quick. He went down off a blocked kick? I don’t think he was anywhere near 100%

Then in his fight with Tim it was like watching a different guy. Quick, accurate, went three rounds. Not much power in him, but training will fix that.

As a side note, at the end of the show during the finale preview, did anyone else notice how fucking BIG Amir looked? That kid’s bulked up, so like I said it is going to be a VERY different fight.

I can’t wait.

@ Forest vs Bonnar 3

Yeah, apparently Mir and Nogueira will coach and then fight afterwards.

Until last night I like “well I’m done watching TUF, I skipped last season and this one was pretty shitty.” Now? I’m actually interested in how they will retool the show going forward and hoping to see some awesome Nog training.

(Awesome Nog is like egg nog, except with MUCH better Jiu-Jitsu)

Despite JT’s actions I hated to see him pulled from the finale. I cannot help but feel sorry for him but obviously his own actions were the cause of his punishment so I can only feel so sorry. Hopefully he will shape up and make his way back into the UFC, minus the attitude.

I’m pretty disappointed that the final is going to be a rematch. Amir pulled off a great win against CB only to turn around and have to fight him again? Seems a bit Meh.

Well said that was probably the best show I’ve seen yet. Words cannot describe how happy I am that Mongo is off of the show. No longer am I going to have to subject myself to watching such an unskilled fighter. That guy (literally) has retard strength and that is all he has going for him. The fight between Tim and CB was great I love watching two guys with nothing to loose and everything to gain leave it all in the cage. Once again I applaud Dana and the UFC brilliant ending to an otherwise drama free season, can’t wait till next TUF its rumored it will be heavyweights can anyone confirm that?

JT deserves everything he gets. His blubbering made me sick. Man up to the fact you blew it and move on, you big ape. Start by public apologies to the people you pissed off, it’s the least you can do. Props to Amir, but CB looked devastating in his second fight, and didn’t gas like he did vs Amir. I think he might be the one walking with the contract.
