I've said it before but I'm saying it again: I love the way they are showing TUF this year. Almost none of the stupid in house drama bullshit. just showing training and fighting. Get a much better sense of what the fighters really go through this way. I dunno if it's just because these guys aren't a bunch of numbnuts like Nate Diaz and Leben, or if it's a conscious decision by the producers to try and pick up the sagging ratings.


Spoilery stuff to follow.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Amir looked completely uncomfortable for the first 4 minutes of the fight and after that he was kind of impressive. He missed a lot of sub attempts he could have made, but he's still relatively new to the sport and I expect he'll pick up on that stuff as he goes on. Gerald Harris looked huge compared to him. He needs to work on his ground game a lot, slamming people is great and all but you have to do something once you get there.


2nd fight was sloppy as shit. Cale Yarbrough needs to spend a few weeks working with Lyoto Machida or something, absolutely no head movement and no attempt to deflect punches. Ryan Schultz threw nothing but looping rights and about 70% of them landed.
