Oh man that's going to be totally awesome. Might even watch TUF.

Penn will actually be in shape for once..

[benefactor]

Penn is done as a fighter, but he was great as a coach. Much better than the gimmick they running this season.

Didn't watch any of the episodes, so only watching tonight for Penn/Edgar fight

[SupremeGuy]

Man, Edgar took it to Penn. :cry

Come on BJ! I've missed seeing a dominate BJ, tbh.

[SupremeGuy]

Damn, BJ actually looks in shape though.

[dbreiden83080]

That was sad and pathetic to watch..

Arguably the worst season. Dan constantly complained that "No one wants to win". He wanted guys to go in and fight recklessly to create knockout clips and buzz for the show.

I'm not a fan of lay & pray but they should also ditch the 'Each Round is scored separately' aspect. Meaning if a guy completely dominates the 1st Round while barely losing the 2nd, this shouldn't be viewed as a simple split.

That's how all fights are judged, though? If you destroy in one round and get narrowly beat in the next 2, you lose. That's what happened with Hendricks - St. Pierre.
