How is tuf this season? Is it entertaining?

Also we got any people interested in hoping on the show tomorrow to talk about the ufc card this weekend for 20-25min?

It's not bad at all, man. I haven't watched a full season since TUF 5, and I haven't really even watched semi-regularly since Heavyweights season with Page/Evans. Then I dropped in on the next few and post-TUF 13 I've only dropped in on a few Rousey/Tate episodes.

I gotta say, despite the fact that I think the show needs a huge overhaul or just to be done away with in favor of something else, season 22 (where has the time gone) isn't bad. The focus seems to be more on the fighters and there's definitely more training sessions being shown. I like that. They go out of their way to show some of Conor and Faber's teaching methods, and there are some interesting guys on the show. The fights have been cool so far, and Conor and Faber have some good natured heat and banter between them, but you can tell they respect each other a lot.

Definitely check out the 2nd episode with Ryan Hall's fight. I'm biased, but I thought it was a really good episode. He's very anti-reality TV personality and I liked how well he came off on the show, b/c I thought he might not come off as good as he did. The 3rd episode was good too. Some of the worst fight IQ I've ever seen, and Conor's reactions were great.

Also, I'd be interested in your show, depending on what time it is.

Imma check it out since I got the vibe from the TUF season when Bisping was one of the coaches.

BJ done took one too many hits to the head his last few fights, my man looking like Steven Seagal's little brother.
