Default The Ultimate Fighter UK v US

Has anyone been watching this season? What do you think so far?

It's brilliant to see the UK fighters ahead 4-1

It was evident straight away that as a whole they came into the house with far better attitudes. They are showing great discipline and seem to have the will to win that most of the American fighters seem to be lacking.

We certainly seem to have been underestimated and as always seems to be the case, the Brits are thriving on being initially labelled as the underdogs.

There has been some great moments so far, Frank Lester being offered $100 for everyone of James Wilks' teeth he knocked out and then getting a couple knocked out himself was classic!

Bisping has impressed me with his coaching, although I hope it doesn't distract him from his fight with Henderson...I can't wait for that, it's a real opportunity to rank himself alongside the elite fighters of the division.

Some fantastic fights, but a little early for me to predict the eventual winners.

Yeah this is a great series!!

UK are kicking arse!, as you said Cobra, they seem much more focused than the americans, all they do is bitch at each other! there is no team spirit!!

Bisping is doing a great job, although he does officially SUCK at tennis!! lol

Also thought it was bad he failed to show for Deans fight.

Cant wait for Bisping to fight Hederson! That will be an awsome fight!!

Yes Perry i agree that it was bad of Bisping not too make Deans fight oh and that h is rubbish at tennis haha. He is still making the show though he is an awesome its carachter .That and watching the brits smash the americans every week I LOVE IT !! LOL

Is hard to pick a winner but iam looking at Winner or Pearson at L/W and Johnson or Faulkner at W/W

Yeah, it really was terrible that he didn't show for Amasinger's fight and to have such a poor excuse to offer was awful.

Whilst I don't think his attendance would have made a difference to the overall outcome, Bisping needs to take every possible step to make sure he has the best chance of success in the future, he owes him big time!

I could be reading too much into the editing process but it seems like Cameron Dollar is being lined up to win the lightweight, the episode where he beat Stapleton could almost have been scripted!

I'll wait until the first round of fights is over before speculating though.

mmmmmm... interesting point Cobra, didnt really think about it but now you point it out! Lets see ay!

I was so pissed when Dollar beat Stapleton!!! after him being a complete nob and throwing eggs at everyone! I wanted to see him get smashed all round the cage!! lol

Mind you, he seems to have calmed down a bit now and isnt being such a twat! Probably manipulated by the cameras to make good tv! Still wanna see him get bashed though! especially for crying like a baby and givin it all the 'i wish i was closer to my parents!!' rubbish last week!! lol

Been addicted to the show since the beginning of this season. Great to see us UK guys in the lead. Quite a few egos on the US team for sure though. Darmaques in particular.. Bisping should knock him out

Having seen the preview for episode 9 it looks like that might just become a reality!

Before this season I had not really watched much of any of the Ultimate Fighter Series', but I have to say that this season has been quite good. Although, I dont know if its just me, but does Cameron Dollar and DeMarques Johnson annoy the crap out of you? lol I really want to see someone from the UK team, take either of them down, mount them and just smash there face in.
