I'm intrigued to see Clint fight on TUF tonight. If the fight stays standing, it won't last long. But if he doesn't have good takedown defense, he could very possibly lose. I agree with what Chael said last week that it wasn't a very smart pick by Jones.

WTF! Clint finally can stand and bang and he goes for a takedown? So pissed. He was fun to watch. He delivered such hard strikes from any angle.

I'm with you, the takedown attempt at the beginning of round 2 was baffling. Hope he gets the wild card fight. Kid has good raw skills, he learns some wrestling and bjj and he could be really really good.

His power is ridiculous. Like Chael said, no matter what position he is in, he can throw some powerful strikes. With him being Jones' boy, I think he'll push hard for him to get the wildcard.

Doesn't Bubba train with Jones? I'd think he'd get the most favoritism.

Yeah he trains with him, but I get the feeling Jones isn't Bubba's biggest fan. I think he felt at least somewhat obligated to pick Bubba in the draft.

I definitely think the wildcard will come from Jones' team.

It doesn't have to be a guy from both teams in the wildcard fight. I think Chael will be ok with both guys being from Jones, as long as they are the 2 best guys. So we could get a Clint vs Bubba match up

This season is tough. A lot of good talent. My 3 front-runners after seeing all but 1 first-round matchup are Colin, Uriah, and Josh.

This season is the deepest season, talent wise, in a long time.

I see Mike Ricci is fighting at 155, that's a lot better weight class for him.

I saw Ariel tweet out a link to the story, but I didn't read it. Honestly, I don't think you should license a transgender fighter. It's not fair to let them fight a woman, and there's not a male fighter on the planet who would take a fight with a transgender.

Alistair Overeem injured, out of UFC 160 fight against Junior dos Santos - MMA Fighting



Man, Dana is really pushing hard for Overeem to get a title shot. He gets knocked the F out by big foot and Dana responds by giving him a fight against the former champ. I assume whoever won the fight was going to get a title shot. Overeem doesn't deserve a title shot with a single win after his last loss.

The guys fighting for the title at WW and LHW are coming off a loss. I'd say it's par for the course.
