Also looks like FX is giving TUF time extension, 10:02 show is still on
Cruz's training segments displayed just how good a mentor and overall athlete he is. My dislike of him has definately downgraded to "mildly perturbed." He's a good coach.
Sad news about that one fighter that lost his father, hope he gets a win in the house.
That live fight was lame. Vick just avoids contact of any kind, like his other fight, and lands the lucky kick/knee. He could be amazing with the right training, but he looks too average in there even tho he won.
Seriously, I was about to say ALL OF THIS. You're so hot.
Cruz telling Faber to pick his guy to fight when Cruz had the right to choose was an epic mind ..
He really punked the out of Urijah with that one lol, first faber couldn't decide who to pick and then he asked his guys "Anyone feel like scrapping?" And none of his guys said anything. They looked like a bunch of pussies right thereCruz telling Faber to pick his guy to fight when Cruz had the right to choose was an epic mind ..
But imo, Cruz followed that brilliant troll job with a big mistake by choosing Marcello to fight Lawrence.Marcello is a beast, that might turn out to be a costly move.
Yeah we'll see but his team probably liked that. Cruz is telling his guys "I got faith you can beat anyone here so let Faber pick, we are still gonna win"..He really punked the out of Urijah with that one lol, first faber couldn't decide who to pick and then he asked his guys "Anyone feel like scrapping?" And none of his guys said anything. They looked like a bunch of pussies right there

And it was hilarious that Fabers whole team was like "Uh i don't know" LOL.. They all should have been ready to go since it was Cruz's pick..
If Dana asked" So who wants to be a in' fighter" ?
then maybe some of faber guys would stand up
The Ultimate Fighter Live Finale
Date: Jun 01, 2012
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada
Venue: The Pearl at Palms Casino Resort*
Broadcast: FX and FUEL TV*
Jake Ellenberger vs. Martin Kampmann
"TUF 15" finalist No. 1 vs. finalist No. 2
Potential and #1 pick vs Experience (BJJ Black Belt instructor for Wandi)
2 victories for team Cruz, 2 times he calls out a combo and it lands
This is an odd season because usually there are 2 or 3 fighters I root for and same for those that I hate. Tickle is the first on the list of fighters I hate, he complains too much during training; hope he loses tonight:
Tickle is such a damn .
I enjoyed watching him give up and pretty much let that choke happen. Stick to the local fights that pay you $200.00 a night, where you can afford to not train, eat well, or have any real skill, head.

It looks like Urijah Faber will have to wait for the chance to settle his long standing rivalry with Dominick Cruz.
The UFC's reigning bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz has been forced out of UFC 148 after suffering a knee injury in training while working at The Ultimate Fighter Live.
Sources close to the situation confirmed the news to MMAWeekly.com on Monday.
Cruz was coaching alongside his teammates from the Alliance Training Center, teaching his team of lightweights on the first ever installment of TUF on FX.
The injury occurred while Cruz was working with his team, while also training for his showdown to Faber on July 7 in Las Vegas.
Cruz being forced out of the bout now leaves Urijah Faber without an opponent for the UFC 148 card, and it's unclear at this time if there will be a replacement or if Faber will be pulled.
MMAWeekly.com will have more information on this breaking news when it becomes available.
Sounds like this happened during the filming of the show, is this the first time a coach suffered a serious injury during the filming of TUF?
Damn that sheeeeieyt
The series are good though IMO
From what i can remember. High Drama Show on Friday should boost the bad ratings this season but the bigger picture is very unfortunate..
It will be interesting to see if they replace Cruz with another coach, or just keep him on for the rest of the season.
They replaced o when he got hurt so i am guessing Cruz will also get replaced.
This has been a great season of TUF, I'm so proud of Team Faber. I honestly felt that Team Cruz was the more talented team, but Team Faber had more heart. So many good guys on Team Faber : Mike Chiesa, Andy Ogle, Joe Proctor, Al Iaquinta, Chris Saunders and others. Funny how Cruz had a blank look on his face at the end, I'm sure if his team had won he would've been acting smug per the usual.
Urijah did a great job of coaching those guys, he was about business but he also helped the guys when they were emotionally down. That's exactly why a guy like Mike Chiesa who's father died on the first week of the show was able to reach the finals. Faber and the other guys were there helping and supporting him throughout. Iaquinta will be a tough challenge though. He's an assassin. He just looks like he's reached a point where he won't let anything stop him. We'll see what happens in the finale, but much props and respect to Team Faber.

I think it was just the finale lacking any real momentum. Totally forgot about it.
Hendricks vs Kampmann for #1 Contender.
Glad Mike C won, from what I saw he was solid.
Chiesa overcame a lot to win that . Pretty amazing.
