This is an opportunity of a lifetime, and some of these cats can't keep their edge for a month? It's not like they have to endure this for a year. It's not like they're lacking anything but the "Mo" to go grab their dream. It's staggering. Increases my already high respect for fighters of great longevity (Hughes, Franklin) who have so many title defenses over such a long time. Also, some of the 'new' fighters like Anderson Silva and Uriah Faber - where they consistently keep that edge because every fight they have is high stakes title defense. That's a mental toughness and a physical toughness that many of these UltFighter kids don't seem to get.

May was a waste of space, the fights were lame and sloppy, glad Brown fucked him up and as to May's comment of 1 in a million, yeah, those are better than the chances of you winning.

Not very technical. Furthermore, every single one of those guys was visibly tired mid-way through the first round. Cramer came out in the second with some bounce, but none of them seemed to be as conditioned as I expected.

His striking made Koji Oishi blush. The most limp dick arm punches I have ever seen. " True dat!! That lanky M'Fer couldn't punch his way out of a paper bag, and I DID see the fight that got him in the house. The 'coulda, woulda, shoulda' kid should STFU and learn. Big Question though...

True dat!!

That lanky M’Fer couldn’t punch his way out of a paper bag, and I DID see the fight that got him in the house. The ‘coulda, woulda, shoulda’ kid should STFU and learn.

Big Question though…

“Who won the first round of the Cramer vs. Zacharich fight?”

Sure.. he didn't do something lame like quit the show because of his two month old "relationship". Instead he chose to sandbag his workouts when he had access to some of the best training available to an up and coming fighter. Fighting your way onto the show was an interesting change, but it doesn't gauge your work ethic. If it did, Jeremy May wouldn't have gotten anywhere near a slot on this show. Ultimately the jokes on him though because he just sandbagged his career. Jeremy May is a good example of how despite Dana’s best efforts, dumbasses still get on the show.

His striking made Koji Oishi blush. The most limp dick arm punches I have ever seen. Then his grappling wasn't much better as Brown gained side control and mount pretty damn easily. Then to top it off he gassed after 2 minutes as a result of him being a douche bag and not training properly even when he had a world class gym and top fighters training him. Jeremy May takes the crown of the most deserving person ever to get kicked in the face. Jeremy May looked absolutely terrible. His striking made Koji Oishi blush.

That being said, they were both exciting bouts. I would have to give this episode a B+. I cant wait to see CB fight next week. Both of the fights were pretty sloppy.

And I will admit i was never more proud of a cincinnati athlete as i was when Matt Brown planted his foot in May's face. War nati! May is just a POS in general. Trying to claim he used the knee as an excuse to stay fresh for the fight and not overtrain, and then after gassing he tries to use the knee as an excuse, LMFAO, c'mon guy, get real. I'm not your Guy..... Buddy! Another great night of fights for Cincinnati guys, yeah I know, Zachrich lost, but he put on a good show and I think we wills ee more of him in the future.

He didn't work for it, he gassed immediately, his strikes looked weak and his entire style was just complete mismanagement. Gotta disagree with you Rich S.
