tuf 8 episode 11: the semi-finals

nover walked right through roop

nover is one of the only guys in the history of tuf that actually looks like he belongs in the ufc. so far no one has been as explosive or as impressive as him. on a side note, besides skill, athleticism, and killer instinct, he also interviews well. i get the feeling he's gonna prove to be a top contender at 155 in no time.

no wonder nog is gay for nover. just kidding.


vinny's got sick jiujitsu

one of the few people for whom it makes sense to pull guard.

glad he beat krysztof. i mean krystof was his teammate in real life and was conspiring against vinny with eliot from early on? gtfo with that shit.

blows my mind he thought he was gonna get past vinny. they're both pretty one-dimensional. vinny has jiujitsu. krysztof has standup. but vinny's bjj is 9000x better than krysztof's standup.

and that's how it played out in the semis. magalhaes reps jiujitsu well.


junie's an f-in nutcase

where to start with that guy?

junie's gotta sort those anger issues out. throwin glass again? wtf. sweet, poetic justice for efrain, the good guy, to finish junie, the punk. nothing says STFU better than a submission. d'arcy choke ftw.

dana obviously wants junie to have a place in the ufc. but if junie's strong point is his stand up striking, then i'm afraid he doesn't have much to offer. he's just another chris leben, a 20-something yo tank abbott for the add generation. i mean he got beat at his own game by a wrestler. btw, if either guy tried to stand up like that with nover (or anyone with decent standup), they'd be seein stars with the quickness.

junie n mir

it's so obvious those guys never kept it real. both tried to be controversial to get tv face time. mir with his ridiculous trollish comments, junie with, well, everything.

*vomits*
