Now I hate him, I think he is a bitch, but he made this season exciting." ~ Chris You're right in that it was compelling, but exciting is not the word I would use. Frustrating and disappointing are more apt imo. I guess I'm a "hardcore fan" because I could really do without all the reality show antics. Yeah it was funny seeing Junie get hit in the face with a pork chop, but the tantrums are beyond tedious. I felt so bad for the guys that had to live with him and couldn't even defend themselves for fear that they wouldn't get the same special treatment from Dana that Junie got. It may be hypocritical, but it would have been more satisfying if all the guys took Junie's example and started breaking rules left and right. If you can't get kicked off for attacking a competitor, then you've pretty much got free reign as far as other offenses are concerned (you'd think.) At least it would have made Dana consider the message he was sending by pussyfooting around with Junie. Cut the crap, show the training. The fact that Anderson Silva's training session with Team Nogueira garnered about 3 minutes of air time was near blasphemy. Those few minutes were some of the most interesting i've ever seen on TUF. But that won't happen, because shit sells. I'll still watch, but I hope they clean things up a bit for next season. “People need to understand, Junie made this season.

Now I hate him, I think he is a bitch, but he made this season exciting. Now I think he might be training harder and could be ready, and Dana couldnt kick him out, look, he didnt hurt anyone, and he hadnt lost, its one thing if your already out like in the one season them two kids fought, but he was still in it, and you dont want to kick someone out if they are still in it. Someone like Nover, who is a nice kid, quiet, but is a monster with his skills, he is boring, a great fighter, but boring. Junie is exciting, you dont know what he is gonna do next, but he isnt a great fighter. You either want to see him win or get his ass kicked, he is a star already. My question is what if he won? DO you really think this kid could be at a bar and some kids see him, know he is a nut, thinks he is all hard, a good fighter, even now that he lost, but if he won the show, you dont think someone would test him? He would end up stabbing someone, getting into fights, even now he didnt win, but was on the show, people will see him, and could try and test him, I dont think he can handle that shit, backing away to save his career, he would end up doing dumb shit. People were bitching about him being on the main card, but thats a fight I want to see, Kaplan is an asshole too, thats gonna be a good fight. If Junie wins, since he is nuts and gets attention, he will get a shot in the UFC. Nover and Vinny win the whole shit, but Efrain, Junie, Krystoff and Bader all will get a shot in the UFC. Lets just hope that next season is half as good as this one, I think this was the best season, great fighters, alot of crazy shit. People need to understand, Junie made this season.

As far as Junie Browning goes He is in need of some serious direction in his life. the drinking is probably one of his biggest problems. Being with team couture will hopefully give him the direction he needs but that being said, I dont think he should be getting this chance to fight at the finally. He needs to realize there are punishments for bad conduct and i dont think by letting him fight that he is learning that. He is a young kid that may have a outside chance at being a good fighter if he gets his other personal issues under control.

We talk about breaking glasses over heads,being a bully. What scares me and the entire martial arts community is the behavior of the combatants. And I am talking about urinating in someones food,and all of the other terrible things we watched them do on national television. I am very ashamed,and appalled at this sort of behavior. We have all been athletes,done some sort of sports,whatever. but I think they should have been expelled immediately if not sooner.Junie acts as if he has serious personal problems that need to be addressed.What scares me most is Dana White knows this,and blows it off. These men are not school children,they have stepped into the adult world. They are getting paid,act like it.God Bless.....Bleu. This is not fighter bashing,this is for real.

He was in a house wit5h a bunch of real fighters who did not want to loose their chance at A UFC contract.Junie knew that the others would not fight him outside the Octogon. He was just trying to convence himself that he was a tough guy.He is an inbread idiot who had never been out of Kentucky until the show.He talked tough but was not. I do not know what happened to Dana.The events with Junie just proved what people against MMA have always said that Fighters are a bunch of retarded bullys.Thanks Junie for setting MMA back 10 years.

Rampage had a few bad days recently, and nobody's called him a loser or a punk or questioned his abilities. It's very possible that once Junie gets back to his gym and regular training routine, his conditioning will improve and his behavior will, too. According to other inteviews on the site, the TUF fighters can only train two hours per day. That's a guarantee that their conditioning will decline, and some guys are just wound too tightly to handle that many hours in the day with nothing to do. Junie's biggest obstacle will be convincing White and UFC that he can show up and perform. The silliness on the show doesn't help him make his case.

I know everyone here has messed up at some point in there life and has been given that fourth chance they needed to set the record straight. If Xtreme Couture gives Junie the depth and intensity of training that they do for other fighters, he will be a force to be reckoned with.

You know that if someone busted a glass over someone elses head once, not TWICE and raged his way into the cage and nearly attacked Efran(and he would of if other fighters didnt stop him)......They would of kicked out regardless. I will never watch TUF again......What a joke and hypocrit of Dana White. Pitiful decisions by the UFC and Dana White I hope that they dont “baby him liek they do some fighters liek Bisping.

It was Dana's way of paying Junie back for not taking advantage of the first 2 chances he gave him. Justice, UFC style! And he took great pleasure in seeing justice being served. I enjoyed it myself!

As a fighter i didnt see anything that was even mildly impressive about him. he has average skills at best and anyone that is a specialist either on the feet or the ground will rip him apart. his cardio is horrible, he has no heart and lets face it after saturday will never be talked about again.
