SKARHEAD - I really hate that TUF is so deeply inbedded in current MMA...It's always TUF this and TUF that...that stupid show needs to go away.

Best post on this thread. It brought some attention years ago and fufilled its role. But it being there only tool and there number one priority is a joke and shows how much danas foresight,marketing and production sucks. Only douches i know like it and will get sick of mma when dudes are not pissing eachothers bed. Its an abortion amd that attention would be better placed elsewhere. Its embarassing they are clinging onto this as a fan. It turns ppl off and when i mention ufc they rhink thats solely the show and laufh. If a super fan like me and my girl cant watch five minutes of it to get to fights it is doing more harm than good. How does two fighters arguing about a sandwich help portray the sport as warriors and the best athletes. It takes the epicness right out of mma and makes it a joke. Something is seriously wrong when you use your stars to push rhis garbage.imagine if it was replaced with an epic docu series following the blood sweat and tears of the best pros and showimg sick ass lives like cerone batteling it out tooth and nail then riding wakeboards and shooting guns.so many other sick ass ways they could promote the ufc but dana is not capable of major changes and legitimizing the sport.

Literally one of the worst thing on tvand has turned dozens of ppl i know off mma. And in turn fans of the show never translate into fans of the sport. So much wrong with this i can not even really start and if you think its a viable option for expansiom.you are an idiot. Ha ha an dhe wants mma in every city when he choses this to represent his brand. Best and worst thing ro hapen to mma.except the good parts are sparingly compared to the bad.

We will see Jones contradict himself more times than we could possibly imagine on TUF He will mentally break Jon Jones during the show. We will definetly see a different side of Jones.

mmamathwiz Member Since: 2/13/12 Posts: 6	iCameiLostiRetiredDiaz - Rampage said before, he never wants to do tuf again because he isnt a coach. I dont think he was ducking Chael This! Plus whats Joes deal with trying to match Rampage with wrestlers all the time, we all know he would not what a "boring fighter" to be the last fight on his contract. You have ignored this user.

Would definitely watch him fight Chael, though;) Cindy You have ignored this user.

Good thing for him though he dodged more than a bullet, he dodged a fully loaded machine gun. You talk some shit, would rampage prob but Chael hits like a girl. fully loaded machine gun my ass more like a bb gun You have ignored this user.

<blockquote>grafzep - I just don't understand the fascination that both Dana and Lorenzo have for this moron. Rampage has consistently proven himself unstable and disloyal and I have to think with his antics his value as a ppv commodity is significantly offset by what a liability he has become. In addition his skills have declined and his game has never evolved.</blockquote><br />

For years Rampage was one of my favorite fighters but not only has his game never evolved, it's actually devolved since he went to Wolfslair. Based on the way he fights and their awful "advice" between rounds, those guys are the fucking worst.

disbeliever - That's amazing Dana offered that to him given his recent "falling out" with the company and his public statement of wanting to leave when his contract is up. That would give him a lot of publicity right before hitting the road.

Could have been a good thing for Rampage to do, career wise, and financially.

IMO

To be fair, he already hit the road.

Ha! Voted up!

Not sure why they would even offer Rampage the spot after his last outing as a coach. Plus, he has the worst attitude. Glad he said no.

Cindy

Are you saying that the UFC made a bad decision offering him the coaching gig? I guess that means Joe Silva and Dana White , as is your opinion, made a poor decision asking Rampage to coach. I trust that those guys made the right decision. You seem to have NO FAITH in the brass of the UFC which is a shame. Joe Silva and especially Dana White have brought us some of the greatest fights in MMA. It is baffling that you would question why a former 205 champion and an exciting PERSONALITY and exciting fighter who has been around MMA forever (when there wasn't money in the sport) doesn't deserve a coaching gig on Ultimate Fighter.

You seem like a fairweather fan and I hope you learn to appreciate what those guys have done for us. I am grateful that and believe the brass should be supported for whatever decision they make for coaches being they have more information than I as a fan have.

I'll make it crystal clear for you- I don't give a shit who offered him TUF, whether it was Joe Silva or Dana White or a Fertitta-- it was dumb, IMO. He has shown himself to be inept at coaching, he has a shitty attitude and I'm glad he declined the offer.

That's what I'm saying;)

Am I the only one that remembers Chael knocking Anderson down more than one time by, oh I dunno, PUNCHING HIM? Phone Post

And then Jones will physically brake Sonnen in the cage. He'll smash Sonnen up and toy with him like a cat with a mouse.

I don't care about Jon's personality, he's a monster in the cage.

Jones by KO.. Phone Post

UGCTT Combat Can Happen - Makes sense to me.

Getting up there in years, he hasn't had much success on TUF in the past, and he's good for money. Plus he hates fighting wrestlers who use top control to grind out wins.

The fact Rampage wants to have exciting fights and catches hate for it is a head scratcher for me.

LOL at you thinking he wants exciting fights, he wants easy fights, fights that stylistically favor him.

He has one fight left on his contract and he wants to win it, its why he is backtracking from the Glover fight and pushed so hard for the Forrest fight.

Forrest has one foot out the door already, thats a fight he can win, thats why he wants it. Thats why he is talking shit about Joe Silva because he didnt get the fight he wanted.

I dont get this move, would give him attention, he would get paid for doing TUF, he would get a huge hyped fight with Sonnen and if he won he would be a free agent coming off a huge fight. That woudl have gotten a ton of attention and probably would have been the main event, his stock would be high coming off that fight.

Now he is gonna have to fight Glover probably in a co main event and if he loses his stock is gonna go down big time.
