***POSSIBLE TUF 10 SPOILERS***

Spoiler

Quarter-Finals:
Marcus Jones beat Schoonover
McSweeney beat Mitrione
Already through: Schaub and Nelson

Semi-Finals:
Nelson beat McSweeney (Same way he did Kimbo)
Schaub knocked out Marcus Jones

Dec. 5 Final:
Brendan Schaub vs. Roy Nelson


ALSO: Looks like Scott Junk can no longer fight. He apparently suffered a torn retina in his fight against Mittrone that required laser surgery.
I'm assuming it's career ending because he runs the risk of permanent blindness if he would continue fighting.

Apparently both episodes of TUF 10 aired in Australia so that's where all the info is coming from. Not sure how accurate it is.. so take it with a grain of salt.

Still a yawner of a season.

 

[Devil_666]

Has there ever been a good season!?

Anyone who has a brain is staying out of this thread, but that doesn't mean that board rules don't apply. No abuse of other board members is allowed.

Are you calling us brainless? Is that an implied insult and abuse of us "brainless" posters?

Dont listen to him, he likes Tonner. Nuff said.

The heavyweights can't stay healthy. Gonzaga is out with staph.

I keep reading rumors about how Matt Hughes is fighting Renzo Gracie at 109. What gives? Maybe the UFC learned a lesson from throwing Liddell to the wolves. I hope this rumor isn't true.

From Gracie Mag:

Renzo is not going to fight in February, when he will be completely focused on cousin Rolles’s UFC debut. But…

“My relationship with the UFC is excellent. Something will happen…” he hints.

On his adversary, should it really be Matt Hughes, as has been speculated for weeks, Renzo confirms nothing. Nor does he deny it: “The match-up has been made. It’s going down.

This video is NONSENSE.

From Gracie Mag:

Yeah, who knows... That takes the fight off that card though.

I'm pumped for 107. A Sanchez win and my world comes crumbling down. I'm also really looking foward to Kongo/Mir.

Diego Sanchez has little to no chance of beating BJ. Diego did not impress against the 1-dimensional Joe Daddy.

It's going to be a whoopin. BJ has never looked better.

Can't wait for this one to happen.

There are rumors that RVCA is on the banned sponsors list from the UFC because they sponsored Fedor in his last strikeforce fight. If this is true i'll be pissed off. I can't imagine Penn wearing anything else but RVCA and i want my freakin 107 cornerman shirt already!!

 

[hairlesswookiee]

^^ Yeah I just read about that on another forum. That's total BS. Dana White can suck it.

 

[kobayashi93]

If that's true, for that reason, then it's a pretty lousy move by the UFC management. If RVCA is starting a promotion on the other hand...

God I hope so. I know he went into the champion rounds his last fight, but BJ's cardio still concerns me.

 

[KBA]

That's the only area I can give Sanchez the edge. He's an absolute cardio beast. I still think BJ will win though but it will be risky to let it go to decision with a nuts pace pusher like Sanchez.

It's true. But that whole Fedor angle was raised BY disgruntled Fedor fans/UFC/Dana White haters. The UFC makes ALL sponsors pay like $150,000 now to promote in their org. Any company that refuses goes on the ban list. Simple.

Same people who complain about the UFC doing that, guaranteed you will never see them complaining about the NFL doing it.

 

[kobayashi93]

Now that makes sense.

MMA is now legal in Massachusetts. Great news for the North East fans. Now to get NY...

 

[LOTRFan]

I wonder if BJ can actually knock Sanchez out though.

Not many people thought he could stop Sherk from punches and he did. So it's possible. I think Penn will submit him though.

Yeah that's the way I'm feeling it. Its gonna be on the ground with minimal time standing up.
