Is anyone else watching this show. I got to say that tonights fight between Josh and Chris was terrible. I would bet my life earnings that Chris would have beaten Josh if they actually fought 5 rounds. Anyways, I would like to hear what you who watch this show thought?

Its not a bad show, I love watching the series before some rules were added

If your asking about 'Ultimate Fighter', of course. MMA is the best sport out there!

I laughed my @ss off when Chris lost the fight. That dude deserved it. Running his mouth how he could beat anyone there and claimed to be the best? Peeing in a person's bed? Pfft...When he faught Koscheck(Josh) he barely could get off the ground and his MMA record is 15-1? LOL! I hoped Josh would pound him, and even if he didn't he took Chris who clearly is not a grappler, to the ground.

Somehow, I expected a better proformance from Leben(Chris). But then again he does lack disapline an is an emotional wreck mentally.

No doubt though, we will see him in the UFC or Pride, soon enough. He has skills, once he harness's his energy and can mentally focus clearly. He will be an unstoppable force.

Josh did nothing while he was on top of Chris. It was pathetic. I think Chris was too tenative. If he came out flying Josh would have ate it. Didn't it seem like Chris threw more punches on his back then Josh???

Josh is a wimp, all he did was dog pile, but I will admit he is very good at doing that. Chris isn't perfect either, but I think there should have been a 3rd round, and if it really came down to a 5 round fight Chris would come out on top if he stopped Josh from laying on him.

True, if you watch it closely, there was several times Chris almost had Josh in holds. At one point it looked like Chris almost had an armbar locked on.

Niether did much damage, it was takedown after takedown. But it was a standup(striker) vs a wrestler, maybe grappler? Two different backgrounds, two different styles. I believe Josh didn't want to fight standing, because that is where Chris excels and it was pointed out quite a few times how he has a dangerious hook. I believe this was Josh's defense against that and to take em' down to the ground, where Chris would be more volunerable and it worked even though it went to the judges

Yeah thats too bad for Chris. I dont see Josh going far at all. I wouldnt take pride in a win when all I did was dry hump my opponent. Who do you thing will join the green team (forgot the name) Also who will fight next week.

I totally wish that Chris had won, I dont like josh what so ever.. But to his credit he followed his game plan which made for a boring fight. He knew if he stood toe to toe he would have been knocked out.. Team Liddell thinks there invinceable, but I will put money that team Coture wins in long run.

CDN-Cresties · 02-22-05, 12:15 AM

I just read that it looks like they will bring back eliminated fighters later on in the show to fight once again. Now I want Josh to carry on so Chris can show em how its done!

JAdkins2451 · 02-22-05, 12:17 AM

I totally agree.. Josh and Bobby from team Liddell talk smack

samurai · 02-22-05, 12:20 AM

I watched it too, very disapointing fights. But i think your right there will be some point where they bring back eliminated fighters. especially if the fights start getting as boring as that one was.

CDN-Cresties · 02-22-05, 12:21 AM

Did anyone else notice that a couple weeks ago Josh was nervous about taking Chris on so Diego took on that other dude. I would think that a fighter would have jumped at the chance to get in the octagon. ...can you tell im a Josh hater lol

samurai · 02-22-05, 12:23 AM

I am too, he looked real nervous for the fight, and chris was right when he said that josh didnt even hurt him he just layed on him. Its not a fight josh can brag about.

JAdkins2451 · 02-22-05, 12:34 AM

Oh yeah Josh was totally nervous. Thats exactly why he just layed on Chris.. I thought for sure he would have tried harder to get out of Chris gaurd and go for a submission.. He didnt even ground and pound..

samurai · 02-22-05, 12:40 AM

If he was supposed to be this great wrestler i can see not going for the face when he had chris on the fence. But i was expecting a submission attemt evertime he moved and it just never happend.
