I recognize a few names. JJ Ambrose, Toby Grear, Nam Phan, Ariel Sexton. None of those guys are going to get anything done in the UFC though.
Hopefully it is a good season.. All the fighters are Light-Weights..

I hope Fitch and Swick make appearances for Kos at some point this season, like Jardine did for Rashad
Yeah so much of it is the personalities. MMA is at the point where the hot prospects just get signed. The UFC didn't need to see Bones on TUF to know he was for real..
^Is so right. You gotta find some fighters to root for out of the bunch because thats what makes it watchable.
A lot of the BJJ community says John Danaher is the greatest BJJ instructor in the world.
There's a quote about him that goes something like:
"When a white belt wants to learn to jiu jitsu, he goes to a black belt. When a black belt wants to learn jiu jitsu, he goes to John Danaher."
Both of the team's are stacked with great coaches but you would be pretty damn lucky to land on Team GSP.

Oh for sure and GSP has nothing but the best top to bottom around him. It's not a fluke that Frankie Edgar has been working with Phil Nurse on his striking the last few fights and now beat BJ twice..
TUF winner success has been going downhill since season 3..
Nate Diaz
Mac Danzig
Amir Saddallah
Efrain Escudero
Ryan Bader
Ross Pearson
James Wilks
Roy Nelson
Forrest and Rashad still likely the best 2 to come off TUF..
Plus Ricardo Almeida, who Edgar also trains with, is part of the Renzo Gracie crew which Danaher and Shawn Williams are also part of. LOTS of good training there.
I think Brookins is an old WEC guy, so I hope he does well. I am GSP ALL THE WAY. AKA and all their ass got members.
lol at Alex Caceres, he will be wearing the Bruce Lee yellow jumpsuit (which he wore in the movie "Game of Death)
That in itself makes the season worth watching
You son of a ...
"Da AKA boyz", as you so gayishly put it, are a bunch of ass tricks. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Swick and Kospussy spend many hours at the gym, slowly rubbing old e on each others rectums, you know, for training purposes. Of course, Fitch will be in the corner beating his poopy helmet, demonstrating to Cain Valazquez what "Brown Pride" is all about while jamming two fingers into his corn hole.
Outside of Anderson Silva and his goty group of suckers, AKA is the herpe on the tip of the UFC's peter.
No talk yet about the opener? The only thing that really stood out for me was the fro Bruce Leroy guy. I REALLY want him to get put to sleep with much pain, but then it looks like the guy was a genuine happy guy. No talking or nothing. I don't know what to think about him yet; plus he looks 16
Nothing much really happens on the first show anymore since they switched to the format of making the guys fight to get in the house. Things always pick up episode 2 with team picks and the first fight..
I didn't even look at the roster until this morning, but now that I have I'll be catching a few episodes - just to watch the Armenians. Have to cheer for Armenians; they're always such tough little bas s.
I think it's bull that they let former WEC guys into the show. I was happy to see Budnick get his ass ruined. I was hoping Brookins would go down too, but he lucked out. Those two heads have already fought at the highest level and lost, they shouldn't be allowed to fight on this show in my opinion.
Not real sure what was unclear about my statement .
Bruce Leroy is already my favorite guy on the show. LOL @ watching him fight with a smile on his face. I echo Dana, cause I love that kid. How can you not?
Armenian? Could you stereotype as tough a nationality more random than Armenian?
Don't worry about him, Des, he's an AKA Boi. (also known as, "DAAR", or Dumb As A Rock.)
