Of course, last year still provided us with some good fights, and Amir was 0-0 and was amazing, so maybe I shouldn't complain. I'm just happy to see some good up-and-comers this season.

He got whooped real good by Amir . . . 2x with the same damn move, only you'd think he would get better, but it was Amir who got better. Then he fights JT Money and was getting beat down until he almost knocks him out with an illegal knee to the head of a downed opponent. After that, JT was a freebie. CB is not that good and I can't wait till they cut his ass from the UFC. Yo want to talk about fighting a lot, what's Melvin Guillard's record? He's got something like 50 professional fights to his name and he's only what, 24? That guy fights a lot. And when he's focused he will murder you. DAVE,

Perhaps the weakest division in the UFC? I get the feeling that Dana White thinks most heavyweights are boring, and he might have a point, but that doesn't mean you don't promote that division, does it?

Now that I am caught up.. I really miss watching. For me, this is one of the few "collegiate" feeling nationally available shows for MMA. I like the behind the scenes of the host fighters, and insight on the sport & lifestyle. I am also a fan of Big Nog & am curious to see how much of his personality shows. I cant wait.

He fought 6 times on TUF, which is definitely a record, because he had a play-in fight (32 to 16), a bonus fight (after JT got booted), and then made it to the finals on top of that. Then he fought AGAIN a month after the finale. I can't figure out when TUF taped, but if it was this year, that's 7 fights in 7 months, all under the UFC banner (even if some were 'exhibitions). Has anyone else ever done anything like that, even in the tournament days? Anyone? Sam?
