First fight of the new TUF and I'm pretty hype for this season officially. These dudes are here with the right mentality and if 16 is that tough, you hope the whole season can be as competitive.

Two very good fights on the first ep of TUF. With that shot at DJ on the line this might be the best season as far as fight quality.

News:

- GSP wants to come back soon, wants to headline UFC 206 in Toronto. He said he wants Woodley, Nick or Maia. Sounds like he is focused and ready to come back. Since he's going to be losing sponsorship money, GSP and his team want to re-work his contract. Says the price he's asking for is more than fair. He also said this isn't a one-off fight, he's planning a full return.

- DHK vs Gunnar official for UFC Belfast.

Cerrone vs Lawler in NY and possibly Holloway vs Pettis if Lucky charms decides to fight Aldo :blessed:

Moose vs Cormier wouldn't have gone any different than the Silva fight IMO. Cormier's wrestling would've been too much.

I really want to see GSP stay at home.

It wasn't too long ago that he was talking about being abducted by aliens and losing track of chunks of time. If those aren't significant signs of brain trauma I don't know what is.
I think those were exaggerated tales he was making ahead of his announcement to take time out. Remember his gripe has always been getting rid of PED cheats and the pressure of defending the belt which was mental.He's never really lamented about any physical toll but then again this guy is an habitual liar so who really knows

I know Silva got paid but I wish he didn't take that fight. He didn't look good and he added another pointless loss to his record
He might not have looked spectacular but he made DC look like a con artist. We know what Silva's weakness is DC is suppose to be this wrestling monster and Silva neutralized him enough to force him to just lay and pray. The last round flurry from AS had him like :whoa:forced him to pin Silva against the cage for a breather. So it's all about perspective

He had his moments but as far as history goes it was just another L. Most of these great fighters can't help but end their careers on losing skids. Mma and boxing.

:francis: it's why I keep asking is he greedy or has he just been shyt with his money. I mean little by little he's turning into tito before he beat bader. His last recorded win was bonnar, thats brutal
