To be honest, I'm not.  Rousey's great but I think the coaches will end up bitchfighting worse than Evans and Rampage and the co-ed contestants idea sounds rubbish.  Plus it's a house of 135ers which has literally no value.

You won't see much training as every episode will have a 15 minute fight in it.

I'll enjoy watching Rousey do some Judo but yeah I can imagine the fights will be

whoops pressed wrong button oh well im not sure why we need to spolier now anyway

yeah but i doubt they will concentrate much on the training techniques etc, id be quite happy watch more of the training in each show myself as i find it interesting.

Whats really annoying in the TUF fights is the coaches shouting "get up, Get up" all the time as if the guy on the bottom doesnt know that.

To be fair, some times the guy on the bottom should know to get up but I think shouting it is like a kick start reminder not to settle for guard.

What a load of balls.

Someone here posted a video of this guy (Michael Page) describing him as the 'British Anderson Silva' a few months ago. He made his U.S debut at Bellator 93 last week.

                               


Bellator 93 was a superb show and is well worth watching but If you can't be bothered and want to know how Page got on, click the spoiler.

Page came out as flashy as ever and KO'd his opponent in 10 seconds with a right hand. His footwork and movement looked amazing. He's definitely worth keeping an eye on.

Great k.o very confident fighter. I often wonder, with these type of fighters what would happen if they got put in with Gsp, Carlos etc straight away. Would they fight the same with as much confidence/cockyness?

Well he's fighting at WW so if he progresses through the ranks in Bellator, he's going to run into Ben Askren who's arguably the best wrestler in all of MMA. I've seen Page put on his back once and he got an arm bar within a few seconds but that'll be a lot more difficult to do against someone at Askren's level.

I was rooting for Arlovski in this fight, always been a fan since his early UFC days and was looking forward to his possible return if he beat "Rumble" but looks like he's really got to up his game now.
