    Last fight was actually pretty evenly matched. I thought Carrothead had the opportunity to win that fight, but made too many mental mistakes.

    Supposedly this episode and next we get to see what Jason Pierce is made of--or rather, full of.

    Jason Pierce is a certified PUSSY.

    Yeah, he was talking as if Dana took the opportunity away from him. He took it away from himself.

    Sad to see Jeff gas out and lose. Seems like an exciting fighter. Dent is undersized and I don't have high expectations for him.

    Dent looks completely out of his class.

    I'm glad Pierce isn't going to be fighting. His whole attitude all season has sucked.

    Yea Jason Pierce definitely didn't want to fight. His demeanor was saying it loud and clear, "I don't want to fight with this problem".

    Meh, I don't even want him in the house anymore.

    They built that up WAYYYYYY too much like something huge happened, when Pierce just didn't have his head in the right place.

    I was ready for some drama.

    ^ Based on the "U-S-A" chant, odds are it's Frankie.

    Frankie was with Krystof today at the weigh ins. I found that interesting.

    I don't think so. I could be wrong, though. I thought the only Team Quest guy on the show this year was Carrot top.

    It needs to be said: the fighters this season are out of shape, and the fights have suffered as a result. As much as Dana would like us to believe these are the best fights ever, they aren't. Frank vs. Dave was unwatchable. A third round would've been two guys standing in the centre of the octagon with their hands on their knees wheezing for five minutes.

    All this fuss about who has to get up early to train is a disgrace. I can't presume to know how these guys are working and what they can put into a day, but the teams, especially the U.K., have no cardio.

    These fighers are disgustingly sloppy. Minus Demarcus, I don't see much talent.

    Pretty crazy that there are still eight guys from the original cast of TUF in the UFC.

    That fight last night was pathetic. Bisping said in an interview that he showed up to the house nearly every MORNING (yeah right) to run with his lads to work cardio outside of their training sessions so they could use the gym time to work skills and game planning... did they run 5 blocks?

    I admire Frank's attitude, even if he has and disproportionate view of his skills, but dang son Faulkner ran away and stood their with his hands on his knees and you couldn't go in for the kill?!?!

    NOT the best fights ever on TUF, not even close.
    these guys don't belong anywhere near a UFC cage IMO, it's just sad.
    Faulker up and quit MMA after his fight...

    Do any of you guys like Bisping anymore? I wasn't big on him the first time around on TUF. Now I think he is an outright prick.

    I can't help but start to like Frank in spite of myself. I didn't at first but the kid is growing on me.

    I actually liked him less when he was on TUF(as one of the fighters), than I do when he is a coach.

    Hearing him and Cameron Dollar, and DeMarquez go at it is at least somewhat humourous when they make jokes. I don't really think he is serious when he talks, Brits just do that kind of stuff leisurely.

    I didn't enjoy the Bisping-Leben fight much though.
