Quite interesting to see a couple of current TUF fighters on the card.  Thor vs the guy who Hall knocked out with that kick.  Didn't actually see the fight but was surprised they were on there.

Mousasi looked clinical rather than spectacular but queen Latifi was very ordinary. Still when Mousasi was taken down right at the end of the fight he looked vulnerable from GnP, can you imagine what Jones would do to him
Glad Pearson KO’d Couture as he fights a bit like his dad
The Michael Johnson fight was FOTN for me

Dana said that due to the strong performances this season, every fighter from the season would get at least one fight.

Thor and Adam both lost by KO so we knew there was no chance of them appearing again in TUF 17,even if someone dropped out with an injury etc so it wasn't causing a spoiler by having them fight before the finale.

Plus with Thor being European it probably added some attraction to the undercard.

Great fights this weekend and right up there for me asthe best card this year from top to bottom.  I did mess up and looked at newsnow at around 18:00 completley forgetting to watch the prelims luckily i could watch um from the start on facebook.

Couture looks pretty poor and one dimensional to me (clinch and Pray) and i cant see him lasting long.  Latifi in the main event also looks second rate and should be cut imo and go to bellator or somthing.

Connor is a superstar in the making and a UFC marketing dream , he is funny , outgoing, cocky and backs it up .

I did pretty good on my fantasy picks lots of finishes, only Johnson letting me down and i choose gegard mousasi  as my champ which in wasnt the best move.

I'm screwed on the fantasy picks. I'm out of the country until the end of the month and will have very little Internet access. Did Ok this event but for this segment I gave no hope.

Quite often I put a parlay bet on the 8 fantasy picks I make on ESPN.

Gutted I didn't do that this weekend as I picked all 8 fights right! Would have got around 60 to 80-1 on that.

But the one plus is that I'm 8th in the whole league overall now.

No doubt.  Can't see Adam getting another chance.  He's been a bitch for the whole show.

When does TUF air in the US?

themilkman23

I think like an hour if that before it is aired on ESPN over here.

They are real close.

Colin 'Freakshow' Fletcher has been cut.  Fair enough really.  A lot of fun to have on the show but he doesn't fight with any urgency.
