DWTNCS > TUF
:russ:its like 15 epis in, you could tell that from ep1. No douchey housemates, displays of sophomoric behavior, ugly azz team jerseys or contests, no forced rivalries, drama or filler. You dont see or hear from mr all up in your videos unless it necessary..

Just a mini get to know video and fights with a low % of a decision. Its TUF but without the baggage or a tournament, what more could u ask for.


Ps my only qualm is I think we are watching jobbers, no champion will ever come from this. I mean sean o'malley is the biggest draw so far who i dont think is long for the sport and wouldnt even beat alex caceares

No hype for 227
to be expected, 2 uninspired rematches in the lighter weight classes. I cant even remember why garbrandnt is getting an immediate rematch when he never defended. And while the UFC havent done DJ any favours by acquiring contenders that TJ match was a rare opportunity he passed up out of cowardice

I need to see some receipts on how DJ passed because of cowardice or he passed because he wasn’t gonna get paid what he felt for a superfight. :usure:

That TJ vs Cody is :snooze:

its an intriguing fight but when ppl would say "super" I am like :whoa: not all champion v champion fights are created equal. TJ is a gamer but he hasnt cleaned out his division nor has he had multiple defences. DJ has cleaned out a division of guys but were any of them champions or draws? sometimes you can say no just by your unrealistic demands. DJ knows damn well he couldnt draw a fly so to demand a mill+ was laughable. Funny thing is at the time he said it was about money now hes saying he accepted but got injured lol

That TJ vs Cody is :snooze:
I am not interested in the back story or the style of trash talk they are using to generate interest but I dont see it going 5 rounds

In the same breathe the mere fact it’s a current champion vs current champion fight makes it a “super fight” neither fighter draws but in this case for UFC purposes it is a superfight. DJ should be getting what he wants no reason why UFC hasn’t paraded him more. He’s gotten some metro PCS commercials, got the cover of UFC 3. Besides that no one checking for him. He should be getting cameos in random movies. He took over the Silva defense title record yet 99% of casual fans bet don’t know that

You really think Garbrandt vs Dillashaw II is uninspired?

I feel where some of y'all are coming from. These 227 rematches are meh and whatever. I'm only paying attention because I made $ bets.

marlon has done enough but they seem hellbent on this ring around the rosy of only 3 ppl trading shots.They wasted rivera's streak and they are set to do it to maroes, to get this match off it was like they put the division on hiatus.

true but with the right dance partner TJ could the same can never be said about DJ..

exactly, he beat anderson's record and dana even called him the goat and its tumbleweeds, thats a guy that cant call his shot, champion or no champion
