keep up the good fights Phillipe. At the end of the day, the majority of sane MMA fans don’t care who’s bodily fluids you eat when you smash through your opponent as you did. Win, lose or draw i believe we will see you in the UFC as a strong contender.

Good Luck to you. I will watch for you in the Finale. But, unfortunately, i can’t stomach another ridiculous episode of this show.

phillipe,

You are going to be a major success in MMA. Keep up the great work. On a side note, my girl is also filipino and she wants me to try balut. I was going to try it, but you guys grossed me the hell out with the way it was represented in the last episode. You were going to town on it tho. Is it really that good??? She says I will love it, but I dunno. And yea, I definitely think you’re at least the baddest nurse on the planet. Keep on kicking azz.

This season has caused me to lose all respect for Frank Mir. He is an asshole who reminds us all of the karate kid. F MIR!

Johnny Elgenmann, Great point I fogot about Duarte,, yeah’ I thought Duarte was tough as hell and he would’ve been thrown back into the mix, but I guess they probably knew he would never make it past Nover’ and if Duarte happend to make the finals against Nover, it would be sooo’ much less anti-climatic if Nover beat him again… better to have someone Nover has never faced in the finals for ratings! I think Duarte would have had a much better chance against anyone else other than Nover.

because nover made duarte look like a bad fighter when they fought. hahaha!! if duarte fought a different guy in the elimination stage, he would have made it to the show.

kaplan ran his mouth during his interview on mmajunkie.com. what a sore loser. he said he still thinks he’s the best 155 lb. fighter on the cast. quit whining, kaplan!

good job on kicking his ass, nover. i just wish you punched him more in the face and mouth so he would stop talking. hahaha! throw him some more sushi with special sauce!!! hahaha!

Good job! I hope you win!

Tho I don’t like Junie, I think he was trying to make an effort to improve his game. And it was pretty wack for the rest of his teammates and Mir not to help him out and just laugh. Although that could have been just the editing. But I hate Shane more than Junie. Shane’s really annoying. BJ Penn can be a d!ck coz he’s made a name for himself. But Shane should just stop talking.

Btw, why did they bring Rolando in instead of Duarte?

Great fight bro! Love the choke out.

And, the term is ‘Murse’. It’s what I call myself and other male nurses.
If you could use it in your next blog I would appreciate it.

Murse represent!

Heya Phillipe,

You have quickly become my favorite guy on the show. You show alot fanastic qualities in a warrior gentleman.

I will be following your carrer for a long time.

Cheers!

The truth is that I totally understand Junie’s frustration. The guy realizes after his last fight that he needs to up his game and wants to roll with someone, anyone! And you have Mir and his coaches and the other fighters sitting around BS’ing.
Mir should have understand Browning’s motivations and have forced himself or some of the other fighters to help him out instead of just saying “That’s just Junie!” (a pretty silly thing to say when Junie is actually trying to do what his own coach urged him to do).

Nova, great fight. I do think your opponent did foolishly think he was going to eat your punches and show you how tough he was early on ala Chris Leben vs Anderson Silva. But as you can see, that often gets you beat up! (take note, don’t block punches with your face).

Keep up the good work.

Great fight Nover!! I gotta say the editors did a number on the scene when you guys were eating the fruit platter, not sure if you noticed but every bite you guys took sounded like you guys were slurping on the fruits it seems as if they raised the volume on each bite LOL..

You made a Musashi reference, and anyone who’s read the 5 rings or makes references to it… rocks.

Good job.

yeah, i think the fights are gonna be in araneta. but from what i heard, the URCC guys (local fighters) are gonna fight as well. it’s not gonna be a full UFC fight card… well… i hope my sources are inaccurate because we wanna see a full UFC card.

Great fight Phillipe!!!!

Pag sa MMA laban, kaya mo ba si Manny Pacquiao??

Kasi sa akin, parang kaya mo siyang matalo.
